I have been playing other games and their High definition graphics are Awsome!!! Cod graphics look dated and are unchanged from COD 4. The competition are better and continue to change for the better with the new technologies we are experiencing today. Even on X box, graphics quality can be amazing. Go HD or go home.

did... did he say remove zombies wtf lmao, why not remove multiplayer? or use 2 discs jk, its the engine they will make a new one i guess when next gen consoles come out, kinda pointless to make one now seen as this could be the last cod on this console....(generation) unless they dual release it would mean bugs more than ever loads of updates, it probs take 2 years for a new engine and game maybe longer really if hey want a good game... that aint activision they will use the same engine for long as possible because people will buy and tbh i dont see any problem with it, it works good and any better probs wouldnt work well with current consoles

I could care less about the graphics as long as it's responsive and doesn't sacrafice playability just for looks.

The graphics are alright, although not a huge fan of BLOPS' but whatever. They REFUSE to budge on 60FPS.

Dan Bunting, Treyarch’s Director of Online, showed some of the graphical upgrades Treyarch has been working on – what he called a mix of “tech and technique.” He walked us through an unpopulated level on Socotra Island in Yemen that showed off HDR lighting, bounce lighting, and self-shadowing (“Lighting is what does most of the work when it comes to visual fidelity,” says Bunting) as well as a new texture technique called reveal mapping. I don’t know what it does — all I know is I saw beautiful, detailed sand that looked like it had haphazardly fallen between the cobblestones on the street. When “the old way” of texturing and “the new way” were shown side by side, the differences were undeniable. Some of the improvement is more practical than technical; on a future LA level called Aftermath, Dan pointed out that there were lots of unique environments within the level — a coffee shop, a hotel lobby — designed so players could easily call out their locations to teammates without having to struggle for a description. And yes…it’s all still running at 60 frames per second. Dan said the team was not willing to sacrifice frame rate for visual detail. The build he was showing was on an Xbox 360, but it’s worth noting that Mark Lamia mentioned that the PC version will take advantage of DX11 cards.

I have a little bit of confidence

Treyarch and IW will probably end up modding id tech 5 when that's eventually released to the public (Rage engine)

Playdough Ville pretty much summed it up. Call of Duty graphics suck in general. There we go, I settled it. I prefered CoD4, MW2, and MW3 graphics because that's what I am used to. I am not used to BO graphics. I think that BOII graphics are looking more towards MW3. I'm hoping that they a new engine for BOII.

I don't know.... someone's got to build that engine which is a long term project, activision won't want it's developers missing the yearly cycle and won't want to pay for another company to build it so..... who's gonna do it?

Such cynicism!

My best guess would be because the game engine they are using is becoming redundant compared to all the new shiny games coming through now that have brand new engines. Has anyone seen the Cry Engine 3 promo? That was simply incredibly, never seen such beauty!

With a 2 year developer cycler unless activision fork some money out for another company to build them a new engine their stuck with the old one as none of the developers have the time to build a new one.

"When it comes to engine upgrades, The Verge was told that the complex shadows casted by branches in the former Yemen map could not have been rendered by the older version of the game’s engine, as an example."

they already confirmed a new graphic engine so chill it and do some research! People need to stop complianing so darn much about BOP II is going to suck and start doing research cuz half the crap they are complaining about is fake or not in the game.........BTW your welcome

They will reduce graphics for many reasons, there are hundreds of new features in Black Ops 2, including open world campaign and vehicle driving, overwatch mode, new gamemodes, better matchmaking, bigger zombie lobbies, bigger zombie maps, in order to fit everything Treyarch needs, they need to keep the graphics the same.

Honestly, playing a game for the graphics is like peeling an orange for its peel (which some people even do hahaahaha).

I honestly hope they stop touching graphics for the most part and just focus on the campaign and multiplayer experience and make sure the game runs well for the next 6 months. I'd rather have a fun game with mediocre graphics then another MW3 that I'll get bored of in a week. The graphics look fine as of right now. (From looking at the trailer)

There aint going to be extreme graphics why? because they dont need it. One of the only games that have real looking grachics was NFS carbon only because they used real people that is why it sucked. So do you really want them to go out and find actors? I bet not also, take zombies out, what are you smokin on millions of people play black ops just for zombies they will not give up zombies just to make graphics better. You sir or mis is trippin.
