Pixel counters on the Beyond3D Technical Forums have confirmed that Modern Warfare 2 will render at just 600p (1024×600) on both the Xbox360 and the PS3.
This is the same video quality that the game’s predecessor Call of Duty: Modern Warfare rendered at, and sits at 307 200 pixels less than if it were running at entry-leved high definition 720p.
Despite this, Infinity Ward have revealed that Modern Warfare 2 is again targeting 60 frames per second (fps). Regardless of the sub HD rendering on console, Modern Warfare 2 is bound to be a very impressive game graphically but whether this will justify the lack of HD game play will be a hot topic of debate.
While PC gamers were left out of the loop on the Prestige Edition, they can once again celebrate much higher resolutions than console gamers with Modern Warfare 2.
