CoD: Modern Warfare looks worse today than it was on release date.
IN BRIEF:
Users of the Reddit forum noticed how much the visuals of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (in multiplayer mode) have changed since the launch of the game. Unfortunately, this is not a change for the better – the screens showing the graphics of the current version of the game show a very noticeable “downgrade”.
CoD: Modern Warfare graphic downgrade
The deterioration was, among others, lighting and colors – the scenes now look much less realistic. The number of details removed on the ground, such as grass or stones, is also shocking. As if that were not enough, the range of view has deteriorated – in the pictures showing downgrade graphics, things visible in the distance seem to be hidden in the fog.

Fans disappointed, though intentions may be noble
Fans of this production do not hide their disappointment – some feel betrayed and have a feeling that they have thrown money down the drain.
I thought it was my night filter but it wasn’t active. It looks almost like when Ubisoft presents one thing and then we get another, less graphically attractive version of it. Only in this case, IW hits people who paid the full price for the main game. All I can do now is uninstall it and play other games – complains Batmans_backup.
Interestingly, the changes did not have a positive effect on the smoothness of the game on PC – some users report that the game not only looks but also performs worse.
As a PC gamer, I can say that with each update the game requires more and more CPU and GPU power. I have had a PC with the recommended configuration since launch and last month was barely able to handle the game. They had to change something because optimization is crap, HelltownHero notes.
One player indicates that you may want to make changes to increase the visibility of other people on the screen.
It looks to me better visibility and less clutter on the screen. In the case of a game like Red Dead 2 and ambient occlusion nerfs or similar things in single player, I can understand the complaint. But here it doesn’t interest me. The only thing I care about is whether you can see people. Often times, the environment is just disturbing, there are so many places to hide, often very dark. These paths, which are basically one solid, sandy texture, make it easier for the eye to see the difference in colors, that is, enemy players. Game environments are often too detailed, PooSailor notes.
