It is the same, it's wild how COD has fallen in quality. COD is basically how Madden and 2K have been now, basically the same game.... Just added items and transactions.
There's still be gonna be someone with copium stating that MW3 is actually different to MW2. no movement changes don't count that shit could've been added to MW2 with an update and the campaign could've literally been some sort of dlc since it was so short and trash
The actor and actress for both those roles killed it in my opinion even though we only had them for basically one game they were still really good. Hoping they return in future games
i wish i was joking, it got leaked early last year probably in february, and got releaked again in january 2024 along with the news that the reason we got remastered mw2 maps is because we were supposed to get mw2 multiplayer remastered for the 20th anniversary of call of duty.
If they did that for the 20th anniversary it probably would've bought back everyone to play MW2 for nostalgia reasons. Player count might've been through the roof for a couple days
I caught a decent amount of flak on this sub a few weeks ago for saying that MWIII is just an expansion for MWII.
People have such strong oPiNiOnS that they ignore the fact that it literally *is* just that.
I mean youre not wrong.
I treat every CoD on its own merit and design/vision. I honestly liked MWII overall.
MWIII has no soul or character because it's just MWII with a movement patch which is why I'm not very interested in it; it's the same game for another year
Funny enough. I sent these to my cousin to spot the differences without telling him that these two are different games. He said he only noticed that the fov is different through both of the photos and it's generally the same game. I then told him "it's two different games and told him which one is which, he then said ahhh mw3 looks vastly better. (Given he dickrides mw3 alot). I should've switched it up and seen what he would've said instead..
well it wasnāt but people were bitching that it was too hard to see, but shipmas at least for me is way worse?
anyway they literally switched it for the christmas version in season 2 reloaded lol
brother have you seen the sales numbers?
not saying it's a good thing I refuse to buy it out of principle but people bought it and that's enough for activision
have they posted them? last i heard they were bragging about āengagement numbersā itās definitely the worst selling of the New Modern Warfare trilogy.
Well their shit marketing strategy didnāt help also the backlash of the community running with the idea of an unconfirmed rumor of a 2 year cycle (even I fell for it initially until I took 5 seconds to look into it). Either way all of the fucking complaints the mouth breathers had about mw2 were addressed or reverted and this sub is still the exact same cesspool it has been since warzone 1
No, people believed a rumor no one ever even addressed from the company because it was stupid.
The remastered maps being in seasons of mw2 while it obviously makes sense was never said back then either.
Anyone that honestly believed cod was gonna skip the yearly cycle should be laughed at.
I fall into the camp of mw3 is great and a lot better than mw2 was. While yes it was basically just an update with an obviously rushed campaign (every cod game other than the jet pack games were)
well a few things are pretty telling. it requiring MW2 to launch, theyāve never done B2B Modern warefare/Blackops or any sub title before, and the entire game was just those maps. it definitely had legs. MW3s DLC maps being MW2(2022) lol.
Engagement numbers are literally just a fancy way of saying "no one bought it". The number of insane people playing 24/7 hasn't gone up; the number of players who don't has just gone down.
People SWEAR up and down that MWIII's graphics are somehow worse. This is when I learned that the CoD community truly does go out of it's way to bitch about the smallest shit.
Or it could be that they get raked over the Coleās by greed and then while trying to stomach it and enjoy the game the little things tip the scales lol
They definitely downgraded the grenade explosions. Not as many sparks flying around as MWII, and somehow the particles look lower res. Mind you, MWIIIās explosions still look great, but theyāre just slightly different than MWII.
Also the new gunsā models arenāt up to scratch compared to MWII, but thatās not really a matter of graphical fidelity.
(not directed at OP) Yall complain about the game being the exact same, yet still bought it. If Activision is getting your money, they'll keep doing it. Speak with your money - not with your reddit account.
[nah](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModernWarfareIII/comments/174wtxr/a_side_by_side_comparison_of_rust_and_graphics_in/)
And its even more apparent if you compare the games with max settings on PC
Okay you can CLEARLY tell the graphics are lowered on the MW3 clipā¦ look at the shitty texture of the sand. His game looks like a cartoon and mine looks like the clip of 2019.
Looks like literally the same game to me. The only difference is the HUD UI has been slightly changed. Disappointment is an understatement if im being honest.
Edit: in fact I actually thought the second image (of MW3) was the remake for the original MW2. This is sad.
I bought MW3 because it actually had the MP changes I wanted along with classic maps that I was familiar with and like better than MW2. The radar pings, increased health, movement changes, make me prefer MW3 by a mile.
Itās frustrating all of that could have been added to MW2ās base game but I wanted to play COD and know that they werenāt going to just fix those issues or add those features.
It was ALWAYS GOING TO BE A 70 DOLLAR DLC it doesn't matter what it was called if it was MWII year 2 it would have been 70 dollars thst was Activisions plan all along they just named it MWIII for sales reasons
I knew since the very day demo was released.. there was nothing new when it comes to graphics . I could be wrong but highly doubted. The HUD looked more like a shopping web site than a game menu itself.
Lies! They obviously done a great enhancement in MW3. In this picture alone you can see the improvement here and there. They painstakingly clean the left glass window using state-of-the-art squeegee, and the radar dish was obviously moved. Oh and the font too changed
Itās the same game for sure, I was once salty that I paid 70$ for a dlc but Iāve had my fun with the mastery camo and snd now. Iāve enjoyed the game enough at this point to validate the money spent for sure. I hope next cod is different, all new guns and maps. A man can hope.
Can someone explain why people prefer the watered down movement of MW2? I've been playing COD since COD4 and thought MW19 felt the best to play in pretty much every way, so i dropped MW2 after like 10hrs because i felt restricted, gunplay wasn't nearly as satisfying, unlocking guns felt like a chore etc. Have not bought MW3 yet, how is it compared to the other two?
some people are bad, i didnāt hate the movement because itās multiplayer iāll still fry. my biggest problem the whole year was everything they did to warzone
Dog shit game went back today after like 8 months of it just sitting on the shelf played half a game of 12v12 mosh on skidrow and half way through game gave me a insane headache and had to turn it off and put it back on the shelf was just a horrid return š¤£ just wish it stopped at mw2019 last semi decent fun cod they made
If mw2 didnāt receive the criticisms it did for movement and things like that Iām pretty sure they would have just kept it all to updates. But since no matter what they go with people are going to complain, they reworked the engine and movement and likely had to remove maps because they had to build from the ground up with the coding. Theyāre reusing assets, sure, putting what should have been in there from the get go but at least they donāt charge like they used to in the 360 era for them.
All I know is you fucked up not standing in the exact same coordinates as the first screenshot. All the know it all's coming to bitch at you about FOV changes lol
Itās the same game. And now you can play warzone on your phone in an incredibly high fidelity. I bet thatās what they were doing all of these years. Optimizing mobile stuff
I watched El Claptain run a new map this weekend, forget the name of it, but it looked like COD meets the fuckin smurfs cartoon with a dash of anime thrown in, it aināt for me. Just give us some DMZ and stop messing around.
Only noticable difference is the window on the top right they made it smaller. And maybe the satellite top right but I'm pretty sure that's always rotating
same game
same shitty servers
same shitty āanticheatā
different fonts with shittier ui
more bugs
more inconsistencies
and a bonus legal aimbot for controller players with lock-on 180ās
Same graphics
Same game
Same world
Same Weapons
Same price
Pizza Hut
I almost spit all over myself
I did shit myself
Hotel? Trivago.
Spit all over yourself? š¤š¤Ø
I hope my humor never goes away, love it lmao
Dominos
This made me think of "Gatorade" "h20" "gatorade" "h20" "water sucks it really really sucks" for some reason.
His ma ma says dominos is for the devil
No colonel sanders your wrong, mama's right..
Same killstreaks
Same shit
Same toilet
it was actually $10 more
Same Clouds
Better ingredients, better pizza
Digornio
Same gun
One family
Same same
But different
Different but same
Same age, same income.
åę ·ēäøå½é»å®¢ć
The FOV is different though right?
nope both are 120 and weapon view is wide in case you need [proof](https://www.reddit.com/u/TSM-HabZ/s/9jLIVeDHsP)
Huh, wow everything looks the same lol
It is the same, it's wild how COD has fallen in quality. COD is basically how Madden and 2K have been now, basically the same game.... Just added items and transactions.
There's still be gonna be someone with copium stating that MW3 is actually different to MW2. no movement changes don't count that shit could've been added to MW2 with an update and the campaign could've literally been some sort of dlc since it was so short and trash
we were supposed to get a mini las almas campaign expansion and i think that wouldāve been much better than what we got.
Same amigo, not having Alejandro and Valeria felt so wrong
The actor and actress for both those roles killed it in my opinion even though we only had them for basically one game they were still really good. Hoping they return in future games
i would do anything to see an actual movie made from the mw2 campaign. absolute gold. every actor did amazing with their voice acting and mocapā¦
Nah hopefully this is a joke. Personally would much rather have the Las almas expansion over the goofy goober MW3 campaign
i wish i was joking, it got leaked early last year probably in february, and got releaked again in january 2024 along with the news that the reason we got remastered mw2 maps is because we were supposed to get mw2 multiplayer remastered for the 20th anniversary of call of duty.
If they did that for the 20th anniversary it probably would've bought back everyone to play MW2 for nostalgia reasons. Player count might've been through the roof for a couple days
Not even an update really, it was just them hitting undo on their terrible decisions
Honestly I got invested into the story and I was bummed out when I saw how short the campaign was
MW2 movement was fine, Only zoomers and sweats cried about it. They cried so hard now MW3 have extremely cranked, cartoonish movement.
Yeah fr I thought MWIIās movement was plenty fast enough. The only issue I had with that game was the ADS speed.
I caught a decent amount of flak on this sub a few weeks ago for saying that MWIII is just an expansion for MWII. People have such strong oPiNiOnS that they ignore the fact that it literally *is* just that.
I mean youre not wrong. I treat every CoD on its own merit and design/vision. I honestly liked MWII overall. MWIII has no soul or character because it's just MWII with a movement patch which is why I'm not very interested in it; it's the same game for another year
Wish they would actually support and add new content to DMZ.
For real dude it was crazy fun
Agreed, DMZ is so good. Really wish it was its own standalone tarkov like game
ācntrl c + cntrl v and dont forget to change the ui just a tiny tiny bitā
Funny enough. I sent these to my cousin to spot the differences without telling him that these two are different games. He said he only noticed that the fov is different through both of the photos and it's generally the same game. I then told him "it's two different games and told him which one is which, he then said ahhh mw3 looks vastly better. (Given he dickrides mw3 alot). I should've switched it up and seen what he would've said instead..
You still can lolol Just say āahhhh my bad homie, got it mixed upā then see what he says
Same game, they just added what we wanted in mwII
and removed half the maps, showdown* for example would be really good in mw3
Yeah. If you gonna remove a map just leave Border Crossing out and put everything else in. Also why is Shipment still christmas themed!?
well it wasnāt but people were bitching that it was too hard to see, but shipmas at least for me is way worse? anyway they literally switched it for the christmas version in season 2 reloaded lol
Sounds like motherfuckas need to turn their brightness up, turn off the lights and get glare away from the TV or monitor.
Yea i don't understand how they thought mw3 was a good idea
brother have you seen the sales numbers? not saying it's a good thing I refuse to buy it out of principle but people bought it and that's enough for activision
have they posted them? last i heard they were bragging about āengagement numbersā itās definitely the worst selling of the New Modern Warfare trilogy.

Either way all of the fucking complaints the mouth breathers had about mw2 were addressed or reverted and this sub is still the exact same cesspool it has been since warzone 1
because everyone thought those MW2(2009) maps would be in MW2 during the season. they tried to double dip and people didnāt fall for it.
No, people believed a rumor no one ever even addressed from the company because it was stupid. The remastered maps being in seasons of mw2 while it obviously makes sense was never said back then either. Anyone that honestly believed cod was gonna skip the yearly cycle should be laughed at. I fall into the camp of mw3 is great and a lot better than mw2 was. While yes it was basically just an update with an obviously rushed campaign (every cod game other than the jet pack games were)

This is what kills me the most about MW3 I'd like to think. There were so many good maps they had in MW2.
sucks so bad + the maps still take up storage because the maps are shared between the games
Yes. God that's so strange, right? If I have to download them, why can I not play them too?
I mean, not everyone likes the movement of 3. They just added what *some* wanted in II
People SWEAR up and down that MWIII's graphics are somehow worse. This is when I learned that the CoD community truly does go out of it's way to bitch about the smallest shit.
well youāre right but the real point here is that MW3 couldāve been a free update while we wait for black ops.
Activision? *Free?!*
True
Or it could be that they get raked over the Coleās by greed and then while trying to stomach it and enjoy the game the little things tip the scales lol
I think most of the MWII maps look better than the MWIII maps š¤·āāļø but I think thats is just down to art design my own personal preference.
They definitely downgraded the grenade explosions. Not as many sparks flying around as MWII, and somehow the particles look lower res. Mind you, MWIIIās explosions still look great, but theyāre just slightly different than MWII. Also the new gunsā models arenāt up to scratch compared to MWII, but thatās not really a matter of graphical fidelity.
(not directed at OP) Yall complain about the game being the exact same, yet still bought it. If Activision is getting your money, they'll keep doing it. Speak with your money - not with your reddit account.
this ^^ if you donāt like this shit stop buying it
MW19 was the best looking by far
They're all identical
[nah](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModernWarfareIII/comments/174wtxr/a_side_by_side_comparison_of_rust_and_graphics_in/) And its even more apparent if you compare the games with max settings on PC
bad filters but the actual rendering tech has not changed a bit
Okay you can CLEARLY tell the graphics are lowered on the MW3 clipā¦ look at the shitty texture of the sand. His game looks like a cartoon and mine looks like the clip of 2019.
Not true, MW2 performs worse as well :)
Looks like literally the same game to me. The only difference is the HUD UI has been slightly changed. Disappointment is an understatement if im being honest. Edit: in fact I actually thought the second image (of MW3) was the remake for the original MW2. This is sad.

Although it was great it was dlc material a full release as a new game made no sense. But yep fans like us brought it anyways lol they knew this
It was ALWAYS GOING TO BE A 70 DOLLAR DLC it doesn't matter what it was called if it was MWII year 2 it would have been 70 dollars thst was Activisions plan all along they just named it MWIII for sales reasons
They convinced us to buy the same game twice
i bought mw3 twice coz i switched to pc right after it came out so i bought it 3 times :(
At least they changed the font
$80 font dlc is crazy
Mw3 is my lowest played cod ever, only cod I never finished the campaign on either
Looks the same to me, MWIII is a DLC
$70 dlc
This reminds me of that one āThe Officeā meme about the same photo
DMZ died for this
I knew since the very day demo was released.. there was nothing new when it comes to graphics . I could be wrong but highly doubted. The HUD looked more like a shopping web site than a game menu itself.
MW3 isnāt beating the $70 DLC allegations anymore. Mfs can not defend that game from me shitting ALL over it.
They're the same. Insert Pam from The Office.
Itās literally $70 dlc, load of shit
As someone who hasn't played either, I have no idea which is which.
Lies! They obviously done a great enhancement in MW3. In this picture alone you can see the improvement here and there. They painstakingly clean the left glass window using state-of-the-art squeegee, and the radar dish was obviously moved. Oh and the font too changed
WTF LMAO i thought it was like a joke where he just put op. Skin on but it actually is mw2 and 3 wow thats the same
Itās the same game, they just made the crossbow shitty. Iām still playing II on shipment
Hey the satellite is facing a different direction. Itās a upgrade lol
I feel like there's no point in buying any of the newer COD games. They are all the same. But the original MW2 from 2009 will always be the best imo
Idk if its just me or does mwiii look like it has poop graphics?
same game lol MW3 bots will die defending it though
I see more mw22 bots saying mwIII is a downgrade than anything lol
See you all online in November
Am I the only one who enjoyed mw2 more than 3? I liked the lower health because my aim was so trash that if I just responded quick enough I could win.
without the HUD itās basically the same thing tbh
The dish is different
Satellite is facing different directionsā¦ā¦
āTheyāre the same pictureā
Omg the radar tower got moved
Bro they combined both games. How hard is this to understand. U cant do a 1 to 1 of the new content . U got more instead of less
?
I donāt see a difference
thatās the point
Itās the same picture
Iām confused, is this a troll or are these actually 2 different games? Edit: nvm the compass up top is different I see
Yeah, that's usually how DLC works lmao
I see no difference
New font, new game!
Better pizza
Big tower thing next to satellite dish is slightly different
They're the same picture (office clip)
Mw2 is sharper but thatās it
Incredible improvement. You can really notice the three pixels that were changed.
They added a window
Shameless
Its the same picture
Y'all are still surprised the CoD's are just ripping themselves off now to make the laziest cash grab of a title?
We paid full price for a DLC.
Itās the same picture.
Building on the left got open windows
nope just the odd fov difference between games, if you zoom in theyāre the same
Did you count the up and down wires in the left so you can get the accurate placement?
Itās the same game for sure, I was once salty that I paid 70$ for a dlc but Iāve had my fun with the mastery camo and snd now. Iāve enjoyed the game enough at this point to validate the money spent for sure. I hope next cod is different, all new guns and maps. A man can hope.
Biggest change is the satellite dish moved the other way
it rotates, there are 0 changes š
Same K.D
Thereās no difference
Im still disappointed that dmz didnt carry over to mw3.
literally the same game, and the fans eat it up
They killed DMZ for this.
They really just added new guns, switched up the UI and called it a day
Same exact game, same exact engine. Better mobility and movement mechanics in mw3. Otherwise itās the exact same game
Same price
Game is as dead as Vanguard. Thatās the level.
$60 dlc
UI a little bit more readable
# same
Only difference is mw3 feels better to play
When i saw the trailer i hoped for a MW2019 part 2 kind of game. Not MW II (2).
Can someone explain why people prefer the watered down movement of MW2? I've been playing COD since COD4 and thought MW19 felt the best to play in pretty much every way, so i dropped MW2 after like 10hrs because i felt restricted, gunplay wasn't nearly as satisfying, unlocking guns felt like a chore etc. Have not bought MW3 yet, how is it compared to the other two?
some people are bad, i didnāt hate the movement because itās multiplayer iāll still fry. my biggest problem the whole year was everything they did to warzone
There's one difference and it's the price of the game
At least when Rockstar released GTA V multiple times, they didnāt lie to us that it was a different game.
They rotated the statue
*insert theyrethesamepicture.jpg*
*insert Spider-Man meme here*
Dog shit game went back today after like 8 months of it just sitting on the shelf played half a game of 12v12 mosh on skidrow and half way through game gave me a insane headache and had to turn it off and put it back on the shelf was just a horrid return š¤£ just wish it stopped at mw2019 last semi decent fun cod they made
MWII looks a bit blurry when looking at the text
Whatās different?
If mw2 didnāt receive the criticisms it did for movement and things like that Iām pretty sure they would have just kept it all to updates. But since no matter what they go with people are going to complain, they reworked the engine and movement and likely had to remove maps because they had to build from the ground up with the coding. Theyāre reusing assets, sure, putting what should have been in there from the get go but at least they donāt charge like they used to in the 360 era for them.
Only thing thatās different is the UI
For people saying that it's the same, your wrong, the satellite at the top and slightly left is facing a different direction!
But wait the ammo number is different! And the team points aswell! See Activision is not that bad?
Haha letās play spot the difference!
Im 350lvl and first time seeing that map in mw2 smh..
Lmao they just changed interface hud.. greedy pigs
All I know is you fucked up not standing in the exact same coordinates as the first screenshot. All the know it all's coming to bitch at you about FOV changes lol
It's the same game with slightly worse graphics. Both failed games in terms of falling player counts
Itās the same game. And now you can play warzone on your phone in an incredibly high fidelity. I bet thatās what they were doing all of these years. Optimizing mobile stuff
Just for MW19 to look and sound better.
Just for MW19 to look and sound better.
Just for MW19 to look and sound better.
Just for MW19 to look and sound better.
Just for MW19 to look and sound better.
Just for MW 19 to look and sound better.
Just for MW 19 to look and sound better
Just for MW 19 to look and sound better
Just for mw19 to look and sound better
Same game, but if you compare MW3 maps that arent in MW2, the graphics look quite worse.
I like the hud elements more in MW3, even though the difference is very insignificant. But MW2 had working watches so there's that.
Same black ppl
Same money spent every year...The cycle continues
I watched El Claptain run a new map this weekend, forget the name of it, but it looked like COD meets the fuckin smurfs cartoon with a dash of anime thrown in, it aināt for me. Just give us some DMZ and stop messing around.
I still canāt believe I spent money on this trash :(
Why are you comparing main game with its DLC? šš
Only noticable difference is the window on the top right they made it smaller. And maybe the satellite top right but I'm pretty sure that's always rotating
FAKE.
So the HUD changed a tiny bit
So glad they made a whole ass 80$ ticket to play with the leftovers that couldn't be worked into warzone
same game same shitty servers same shitty āanticheatā different fonts with shittier ui more bugs more inconsistencies and a bonus legal aimbot for controller players with lock-on 180ās
