    Looking at this DLC comparison video of COD4 Crash to MW2's Crash. I have to say, wow did they do a horrid job. The map looks far far worse than even COD4. Check out 1:06 and you'll see my disgusted moment, though pretty much every part of this video disgusted me.  IW if you're going to port a map, here's a small hint. Make it look better at LEAST.

    Um.... say what now? The Modern Warfare 2 version looks significantly better. Maybe you don't like that they applied a heavier haze-effect in the new version, but if you actually stop and look at the environment, its much better.

    This is just sad, and further reminder why cod4 was miles better than mw2

    @Donos: Really, I highly disagree, I think that it looks much blurrier and the shadows are far less pronounced. The textures look poorer too, if you look at say an Air Conditioner on the sides of some buildings.

    looks to me like the mw2 brightness and contrast have been messed about  with.

    The textures on mw2 look a lot blurrier than cod4. The chopper and the two-story across the chopper look significantly less detailed.

    @wh1terav3n:  I guess that's where we disagree. Blurriness and fewer shadows are both caused by the haze effect, which I think is intentional, and I suppose is a matter of taste. On the other hand, if they're porting old maps, you would expect them to change as few things as possible, instead of adding haze. As for the textures, I think it depends where you look. When the camera goes up the stairs, the walls look way, way better in MW2.

    Err, no. Not at all. The CoD4 versions are equal or better. The MW2 versions aren't anything like "significantly better".

    Holy crap! Call quality control! The contrast has been turned up in MW2, making the maps clearly unplayable pieces of crap. I am absolutely appalled!
     
    Good find, OP, your contribution to the gaming community will be forever remembered! 
     
    I'm only pretending to overreact to something so incredibly trivial. What's your excuse?
