Most people can't perceive more than 32-35 frames per second. That just how our eyes and brain work, so basically above that it's just pointless. If you want to fight over something, fight over whom can provider constant under 150ms latency for every player on the servers.

Congrats InfinitySledge, you made a six year old engine run at 60FPS. You want a cookie?
Six? Call of Duty uses a modified Quake 3 engine. Yeah, id only started selling it 6 years ago, but it's actually been around since the turn of the Century.

Oh, this is hilarious. Two games that are exactly the same and of are the exact same quality (shitty generic modern FPS) are arguing over which one is better. Cute.

So what? Frame rate is not everything. If you have at least 30 frames per second, that is fine. The game will still be playable and look pretty. Better yet wait 3 day, till November 11, and get Skyrim.

True, but ill give them "some" credit. Some. Not much. Like two pats on the shoulder with a lowered head of disappointment.

I'm now getting suspicious that MW3 is desperate in trying to seem like it isn't just a cash-grab to fanboys. I mean FPS is their competitive edge? That's even worse than when people thought graphics made the best games.I've played a bunch of shooters and that were perfectly good without such a high framerate so IW are really gonna have to do better than that to beat Battlefield 3. (But IMO Battlefield is the superior shooter franchise anyway.)

Soon I'm going to have to come up with an insult for the neutral guys who are probably raving about skyrim unless they quit their shit.

"'Kyle Brogan · Top Commenter · Operations Command - Head Council [=C=] at Valor Company, Inc.
"Mr. Kotick, they've got destructible environments, vehicles, and all kinds of crazy things going on. We're making a carbon-copy of the same game we've made annually for the past five years. What exactly do you want us to brag about?"

"Well, our framerate is faster."

"Okay. We'll run with that." '"

I love this guy.

Anyways, it will run at 60 fr/s, it will look almost as orgasmic as Duke Nukem's single player.
It will have great resolution, but still look like shit. Not because it is a ctrl-c, ctrl-v game that IGN will take to dinner, eat out, fuck it ('cause hey, there the sluts right?), then eat it up, and after being consipated for 5 weeks still give glorifying praise, but because their graphics are terrible.
Battlefield 3 looked so good. On YouTube. On 360p. That it had the ability to make me orgasm faster than rusty spoons (Salad Fingers for the 2 of you that haven't seen it yet).
Even on 1080p MW3 still looked terrible. It was on the lines of BLOPS mixed with television static and Fable: The Lost Chapters.

Seriously, could we just agree to stop making things shinier and concentrate on the "game" part of the game?

Activision: We have a VERY pretty picture and you should buy our game cause it look pretty!

EA: Pictures are nice, but we like to make games that people can do tons of shit in!
The best part of this one is that BF3 actually looks nicer as well.

so basically cods innovative selling feature and edge is doing the same thing its always done...the hell?
Falls right about in line with what MW3 is. The same thin they've always done.

But the fact that it runs at 60 fps doesnt change the overall qualitiy of the game
Actually it does. I talked to Activision and they said if you run the game at 60 frames per second it fills in the plot holes in the single player campaign. It also varies the game play, and adds in new textures.

In multiplayer it will add in vehicles and true to life destructible environments, as well as be able to support more players.

Can the untrained human eye even tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps?
no. anything over 24 is well beyond the human eye anyway
incorrect
We can most definitely tell the difference between 30 and 60 frames per second
http://www.boallen.com/fps-compare.html

In fact there is some research that has showed the human eye to see at above 220 frames per second
the only even vaguely comprehensible difference between 30 and 60 is that 30 looks blurrier

A constant 30-50fps is good enough for me Sledgehammer, and I bet most of your fans really don't care about it that much.
i think they're stupid enough to use it in an argument even though most of them don't know what the hell they're talking about.

it's the bit wars all over again.

otherwise known as "MINE'S BIGGER!"
The way they go on about frame rates and "mines bigger" doesn't suprise me coming from two big corps. I just wish they could use less bark and actually have more bite.

On a side note how long did the bit wars last for? i forget.

if i'm not screen synced on my pc all i can do is obsess over how slow something is running
lowest i can game at is 50 anything less looks like a poorly made anime with missing frames imo
and i hate cinema 24 fps whenever they pan around it makes me want to scream
i guess my brain is just impatient

'edit'
cod, and most shooters can die in a fire btw i like frame-rate not acti-turd.

DICE is producing some of the best looking destruction and vehicle combat to date with their new engine, while making it look as good as possible.

CryTek is making some of the best, if not the best improvements and modifications to graphics and scalability to date.

Ubisoft is making....well....Ubisoft stuff. Bungie's doing....something....Bungie-ish.

And your big trump card is a 6-year old engine being able to run at 60FPS on 5-year old hardware?

I think its time to call it quits Infinity-Hammer.
