Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Beta) vs Modern Warfare (2019) | Direct Comparison

[@kellineburton]

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

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

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

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.

Was waiting for this cod banger! Thanks nick

[@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.

Awesome comparison as always! Love the sound design! Still nice animation and gamplay like mw2019! Good stuff! 😁👍🏻

[@dustinhodges9987]

Thanks! It would be great if you could control for lighting. Having that the same would really help us see the differences in texture work.

[@Sterge08]

Bit unsure about MW2. I think the sound effects in MW2019 are honestly a bit better. You could make the argument that the wear and tear on the weapons in MW2019 fit the setting more, which it did, but it was still a nice detail.

[@leelillisblue5898]

Still,love the animations they made,but sadly I can’t find that much of details on each guns anymore,guys you can actually get into the gunsmith and check it out carefully,and compare it to the mw 2019

[@klukina9892]

Hey nick do you Think they will put real Names like MP5 or AK47 in the final game ? Because i dont like the fake names and also the weapons are not the same.

[@-_saudyahya1269]

Im sorry but they wont Why? Because they dont want any copyright things

[@Samsonfs]

Nah they gotta pay up otherwise

[@Nick930]

No. These names will remain in the final game. It's about licensing. They didn't license the use of the names this time for those weapons.

[@JagsP95]

Yeah its a small indie company, they cant afford to use licensed weapon names.

[@Nick930]

@@JagsP95 Just because a company has a lot of money, doesn't mean they're going to blow it all on things like licensing fees when they don't need to. Everyone knows it's an AK... it's not that big a deal.

Are you able to do an update of Call of Duty’s history next?

[@Eva01-jy2qu7pu9r]

I feel like 2019 looks a lot sharper in terms of detail and lighting and could essily fool the common eye for realism. MW2 looks good but I don't think it achieves the same realism effect as 2019

[@terrywhitaker4393]

mw2 sound design is insane

I actually like that the weapons look more pristine now. I'm not a big fan of the rusty/dirty look. It would have been awesome if there was a feature for that though... In DOOM 2016's multiplayer you could both put a skin on your guns and then make your gun look as dirty/scratchy/rusty as you wanted to with sliders.

[@Reveal_City]

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.

[@enjoi9970]

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.

The m4 model was changed most likely due to the US military switching from Daniel Defense RIS II rail systems over to the newer geissele URGI upper receiver, it’s the standard issue for most special operation units now🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@MrDanny1911]

The new hitmarker sounds are terrible compared to the much nicer sounding MW 2019 ones. They ontop of that seem to be bugged and sometimes dont play at all... But at this point I wouldnt even be surprised if they did this intentionally as a "design" feature, like no enemy nametags, its laughable. Already cancelled my pre order, what a mess. Player ragdolls glytching out all the time too, like flying away after being shot like they were hit by a tank shell.

Nice video and I agree with what you said. I dont mind the fresh out of the box look on the new one tho. I do think the graphics are better on mw2. Please show both games in the same light tho...this makes a big difference.

I think a lot of people are forgetting this is a beta, and not the full game. Graphics and mechanics are going to be a little different.

[@anotherrandomguy8871]

I’m not a big cod fan at all, since MW2019 is on sale at the time of this comment, I’m getting it. I’m hearing a lot in the comments that MW2 isn’t doing so hot anymore, but if there is one think that looks really cool for MW2 is the gunsounds judging from this video. Gunshots sounds more punchy and loud, which is exactly what I want in any game with any sort of realistic gun physics. Makes your weapon in-game feel more powerful and just feels more satisfying to shoot in game.
