I played the demo at 1024x768 with full eye candy.The graphics look great BUT when I went to look at some screenshots at gamespt; I found these particular compelling to my eye:

These pics look alot better to me then what I assumed already as "good" graphics on the demo.My questions are would this be because of that dx7-dx9 problem on the demo?(I had to force dx7 cause my framerates were horrible...and then I was getting close to 100fps after)...or are those pics from a the finished product and not from the demo...or is it my graphics card?

It's probably a combination of all.

Most demos ship with lower quality textures in order to keep the download size low. Some graphical features might have been disabled on the demo that will be available in the retail version. Finally, forcing an older DX mode would certainly take away from the eye candy.

I don't know if I really put a lot of faith in screenshots. Even with the newest and best hardware, is it even possible to reproduce some of the marketing screenshots?

Click to expand...

I saw a commercial for this game on TV and the difference between the commercial and the screenshots is even BIGGER! I swear the commercial was half in game footage and half live actors... no game looks that good. It was almost a mix too so I am thinking it was some creative advertising, lol.

I can't wait for this new COD2 game! :D

Is it possible these are from the 360 version? No flame-bait intended, but I've heard that particular version will be quite impressive visually and in terms of overall framerate.

Or maybe it's rendered on some Uber prototype card. Or on a current one at 1.2 fps. ;) Doesn't matter in a screenshot. Hehe.

That 3rd shoots sweet! However it looks too good to be in game rendered. I think it's photoshoped or prerendered. It has to be

I played CoD2 on the Xbox 360 today and felt it looked just as good in hd on a plasma as it did on my computer. I don't have a high end PC but I was able to pull 50ish fps at 1280x1024 with dx9 enabled and felt the 360 was very comparable.

the demo didn't have the high quality textures that your seeing from the screenshots of the actual game
