What i noticed and very appreciate the animators about the mw2. You can clearly see the hands gripping hard when shooting auto and adjusting when you stop. That small detail really makes me happy for some reason

[@duck_entertainment]

Gripping so hard the gloves clip through a little bit

[@spaceman-pe5je]

​@@duck_entertainment thats a universal problem in games with gloves and gloveless characters, quite literally nothing to be done to fix it. some skins have bare skin. they would rather the bare skin not be floating around the gun (that looks way worse) than the gloved hands go a little into the gun

[@duck_entertainment]

The reason why some walls look worse and more flat in MW2 is because the tesselation option did not work in the beta.

I have gotten it to work, but you have to keep re-enabling it for some reason, very noticeable on the valderas museum map with big sandstone blocks

MW 2019, everything feels more distinguishable from each other in MW2 everything feels like a massive blur. Very difficult to spot enemy players in comparison. Colours, lighting, map design feels extremely cluttered on some maps and just empty in others.

[@THEGuilhermeAB]

that's the point, MW2022 is a step forward to a certain extent, but I felt the game was a little dead in comparison to the previous one, mainly because of the lighting and colors, from time to time I felt like I was on a CS map made by the community, even though it was beautiful it looked like something was missing

Which is interesting because depending on who you ask, it's a different story.

[@raktim_org]

I was waiting for this video since the gameplay reveal!

[@sc1zzla]

after watching this video, I kinda feel like MW2022 is a step back overall; something about the colors, and the general gist of the game doesn’t feel real.. in MW2019, something about the guns was done really well to make it feel like the guns was a part of the environment, but in MW2022, it kinda feels like the guns aren’t really connected with everything else. MW2019 gives off a more crisper look. I think it has something to do with the gun reflections and lighting, the reflections in MW2019 are sharper and brighter which in turn makes it look more “significant”. The color tone of MW2022 gives off the same vibe as CW did, with all the weapons being slightly yellow for some reason. Something a lot of game devs get wrong nowadays is trying to make their games too vibrant; more saturation doesn’t really make a game look better, in fact, it can sometimes make a game look really cheap. I think the exposure of MW2022 just makes everything look slightly off. Anyways, thanks for making this vid, was waiting for it since the beta came out.

[@scott4398]

Something about the lighting just looks washed out. It's like 2019 but more colorful, then with a slight gray filter placed over it.

I'm happy with everything about the game aside from the graphics, to me it looks worse than MW19 in most areas, playing both at 4k on a 3080. The sound design is insanely good, even better than MW19. The time to kill to me feels slower than the last few games, I find myself killing enemies slower, getting more hitmarkers, but it's still fast. I like the gun designs, they remind me of MW2 and 3, how they look believable but not necessarily how they would look in real life, unlike MW19 which was like COD4 where guns looked more true to real life.

[@PAXperMortem]

Man, I hate how military shooters are becoming less and less grounded. Between this, BF2042 and all those hero shooters there is an abundance of fictional elements such as fake gun manufacturers, fake countries, cartoonish "operators" and fake armies. I miss the days when these types of games would, at least aesthetically, try to emulate the real world. But I guess publishers are more interested in milking those microtransactions while paying as little for licenses as possible...

[@Nick930]

I'd argue this is more grounded than most COD games. The fake gun manufacturers has to do with licensing problems. The fake countries have ALWAYS been a part of the modern warfare series, even back in 2007 (COD4 had the US invade the "Middle east"... but they never say an actual country name) Fake armies were also always used. Most early 2000s video games had the US fight against "Russian Ultranationalists". They never had you actually fight RUSSIA. It was always some coup that you had to help shut down so the real Russians could take back control. Happened in Ghost Recon 1, Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon 2 with the North Koreans, Rainbow Six with Mexico, Battlefield 4 with China... same thing all the time. I agree that the cartoonish "operators" are a major problem though. I hate how multiplayer has turned into a weird operator vs operator super hero fight. But that's what's popular thanks to the MCU stuff.

Well, 2042 is set in the future so..

[@Nick930]

@@enjoi9970 So was Battlefield 2142. It didn't rely on "heroes".. I agree with his point there. 2042's "setting" is so poorly realized and feels tailormade to sell action figures in the Target toy aisle.

Where the audio comparisons made with MW19 with Studio Reference mode?

[@Nick930]

For this one i kept it in its default setting for both games. I tried reference but it was much quieter overall. I'll look into using reference mode when i compare the final game

[@gamersunite7968]

The Iraqi AK reload threw me for loop, lmao. I didn't play the beta so it was a bit of a shock.

[@DerbyshireBloke]

Can you do an updated vid with the actual game

[@saadhussain6514]

what's the maximum speed you get after changing the region?

[@t3chninja_official]

How did you get so many maps during beta? I got like 1 map.

[@TurkeyOW]

I heard a guy's ground war was bugged and only got one of the maps, but never heard someone say they only got to play one map lol.

[@jaymonee02]

I like the physics and the kill animations better in MW2019..MW2,it’s hard to describe, but how the enemy falls or reacts to getting shot just looks generic to me…reminds me of bocw 😢

Going from PS4 modern warfare to PS5 modern warfare 2 is a noticeable leap.

[@cod3368]

I dead ass only got my ps5 2 days before the beta and you can definetly feel the improvements lol

[@braedonlock3359]

@@cod3368 maybe because you have a PS5? Try MW2019 at 4k on PS5. Will look way better than for your last generation console. MW2 has some better lol lighting shadows etc, but the upgrade is nothing crazy. Not a generational leap just a tad bit upgraded.

[@chrisvac]

I really thank you for making this video. IMO MW2019 is still better compared to the new MW2. Not sure what it is but visually the graphics and the animations are amazing in MW2019. So I hope I will have more reasons to play the new MW2 instead of MW2019 in addition to having already pre-ordered the new game. I am not very impressed by the new beta.

[@mountaindew3201]

MW Beta was great and it gave me hope for its future and I can’t say the same for MWll despite playing it on PS5 it’s a major disappointment. It’s not the visibility but the graphics. I wish they stick to the similar aesthetic as MW and improve it. Only thing I like about MWll better was the gunsmith but overall MW is the win.

[@MrZodiac011]

Yeah I initially had no hype after seeing the Campaign gameplay and the MP trailer got me interested because it showed some new stuff, but it just looked too similar to MW19, I've never thought a COD game looked or felt too similar to the last to not be worth my time as a fan, but this time MW2 is just MW19 with different maps, couple new details, improved gunsmith, that's it. They didn't spend enough time improving things across the board, it's only tweaking minor things.

[@mountaindew3201]

@@MrZodiac011 campaign I’m excited for. MP looks similar and at the same not. Some guns lik m4 and mp5 look better on MW. CW was a decent game but I fell like that one is better than MWll. I was really disappointed for to wait 3 yrs just for this. I hope MWlll does justice to MW

[@zenroles]

I can't vouch for the graphics, but I can say that the animations have definitely improved in MWII. They improved the sway while walking as well as the sprint. They also added new animations for the inspect which was an afterthought in MW2019. Also the AI animations are more realistic and less robotic (when it works lol). Hopefully the campaign would benefit a lot from these changes.

[@chrisvac]

@@zenroles My hope is that at the game launch the graphics and animations will be optimized. After all we just saw the beta, not the full game.

[@udinaja2376]

in mw2 detail on big plants now there is movement/wind effect

[@Kriplingpowr]

Yo you said that the ak-74u in MW is just a regular ak. It’s actually not you forgot to put the magazine in there’s a mag that changes the gun into the actual AK-74U and the gun becomes OP
