PART 2 HERE kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g95hg9iUpsilk2Q.html :)

My only gripe is small details in MWIII where some maps look too empty or "clean". Where in MW2 everyone single corner had debris and looked like a war torn battle zone, in MWIII it looks like somebody just professionally swept around and gave it that type of artificial movie set feeling. 18:06 for example.

Just seeing all the original mw2 maps again really hits me.

The original maps seemed to have this fog like atmosphere to it which added to the grittiness

Dont get me wrong, I like the remastered stuff, but they also kinda feel a bit too clean instead of an actual war zone really.

The new maps look good but they lack the atmosphere of the originals. Terminal for example you have luggage strewn all over the place. It tells you people were scared and running for their life. In mw3 it's literally just another day at the airport. It lacks that soul.

Life was much simpler back in 09, we had all we needed.

The new Rust ain't even rusty 💀

You just can't beat 2009 MW2, that game was 🔥🔥🔥

Og atmosphete: *distant gunfight echo, military trucks everywhere, eerie music* Modern atmosphere: clean and peaceful :)

i hate how they got rid of Skidrow’s green atmosphere. that’s what made the map stick out so much

i like that og mw2 had allot of background gun fire in the maps vs now

2009 was such a classier time.

IS it just me or dies the old make look better 😅 it’s like new versions took away ALL the personality of all the old assets in the maps

They were so focused on making it look real that they forgot to make it feel real :(

This video clearly demonstrates the importance of artistic design. Even though MWIII has a better graphics engine, non-graphics related things like color palette, debris placement, background noise and other small details were done far better in MW2.

MW Vs MWII Vs MWIII - KILLSTREAK COMPARISON kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etx4ZNySyJzVko0.html

they butchered tf outta Rust 😭 a lot of these look great though. Underpass blew me away.

Whilst the maps are all definitely improved they are alot less atmospheric.. sub base for example I remember playing sub base back in 2009 and it genuinely felt and looked like a cold environment. I think some of that is lost.

I prefer the old maps for the most part but some of the new ones are beautiful like Underpass actually looks fantastic for such a dark and rainy map

the color palette they choose for maps made the game look cartoonish

There is no War atmosphere in the new maps, the old ones are better.

Mw2 looks so realistic

The new maps look great, and I'm happy they were faithful to the originals, but I just enjoyed the ambiance of the originals better. Yes, I know it's my nostalgia talking, but it's just what I prefer. Like on Scrapyard, for example. I liked the original with the sunset, the dark clouds, and the debris floating around. It just gave it a vibe. Same with Rundown. It had those darks skies and that, well, rundown village. I just thought that environment added to the setting of a war game.

I like how terminal was so loud cos of the plane added to the ambience

You’re a rockstar for getting these still images of each game! Thank you brother!

Excellent vid, All the sight lines and choke points are included so a great comparison of the classic and remastered maps. Now feeling very nostalgic. Thanks for sharing.

if you have headphones in its kinda wild how much more ambience the 2009 game has

although the remastered maps in general are better (graphics-wise), i feel like they totally got rid of the ambient sounds. the old ones felt like a real war zone but the new ones are so silent

i like the older call of duty,s even the sound is amazing

btw, good job on this video, all the cuts was a lot of work for sure and this was very well done.

Underpass in mwiii looks amazing

Man the old maps had such a brown color tone to lol man those were good memories. Either way I guess the developers cant win. If they bring back the old look people would call them laxy and if they modernize it they will say the old stuff is better 😅 complaining is a new profession these days 😆 im just happy to relive these old maps again regardless

MW3 is missing that grittiness ambiance in its atmosphere, visuals and sounds.

Most maps back then felt like a warzone going on. Debris everywhere it felt like combat. These maps nowadays feel too pristine and too pretty

Graphics are better, but old game still holds up well. The improved visibility of the remastered MWIII maps is nice, sure, but it sort of steals the soul out of some of the maps imo

It’s amazing how the older images look more realistic!

Mw2 is cod at its absolute best, I am forever grateful for getting to play cod during the glory days. It was a time in gaming like no other, this new generation truly does not understand the impact MW2 had on gaming and KZfaq

Old Terminal much much better ❤

Funny how a game from 2009 still looks better than most games being released 15 years later.

It's giving, "One guy remade MW2 maps in Unreal Engine 5" The maps lost their artistic designs and soul

They changed the atmosphere of rundown almost to where it’s unrecognizable 😢

Its like they removed the identity from each map, and what made those maps great. Some maps it was fine with the updates like derail. But other maps should of been kept the same.

Wasteland was my fav map, and it doesn't have that greyish foggy feeling anymore, noticed this on the other maps too. The enviroment on Rust is now closer to Nuketown. On Rundown, they really went to the other direction, bright colors are very dominant now, also applies to Terminal. However, i like the look of Skidrow, Quarry and maybe Afghan in the new MW3.

soul vs souless

Old is gold👌

Great work sir, Thank you so much

The original modern warfare 2 was the pinnacle of this franchise.

The og mw2 was like an experience, while the new games are like abstract

I like the visual changes they made to the maps they made it easier to see in some places so people can’t just hide as easy especially with underpass because underpass always looked terrible and didn’t play well but it’s defiantly more bearable this time around

Great stuff, thanks! 💟

the soundscape and the distant shots add something nice to mw2

My man got so high on those Scrapyard edits 💀😂

its so cool to see how it changed back then these maps never get old either

Wow. Awesome vid

the old mw2 still looks better, great memories. I mean the new game looks nice but it somehow looks more 2d than 3d the colors really make everything look the same, I have a really hard time seeing enemies because of this.

Been looking for this as I honestly couldn't remember Rundown from the original. Also cant believe i didnt recognize the crash site in Sattiq Caves in DMZ as Afghan. D'oh!

I admire the patience you had to prepare this video. Nothing will ever compare to the original of anything, but I'm vibin to the new version!!! My opinion

This is exactly what I been waiting for

Same maps, same thing, 14 years later, but worse...

Thank you so much for uploading this comparison, it is awesome. Personally I loved every map remake and glad I bought mw3.

Game looks good very vivid I'm getting it tomorrow 4 sure I'm highly impressed thanks for the footage my man

This is great, well done sir. Seeing all the comparisons makes you realize how much more real and immersive the original one is. MW3's version looks to clean, cartoony and like a artificial arena. The depth perception in MW3 is much worse for spotting objects and other players in front of you.

Rundown: They made the time morning instead of evening. Also moved bushes at tha canal. Underpass: Rain storm calmed down and visbility is increased. Vegetation is removed greatly and that also increased the vicibility. Derail: They calmed down the snow storm and increased the visibility. Not enough tree shadows to hide. Estate: Map seem so ducking naked. Half of the trees are gone. No place to camouflage except the villa. Favela: Mao bacame more colourful and colours are unnecessarily too much saturated. Hard to see enemies. Rust: No sand storm. Visibility is 10km + Skidrow: Green glow stick lights are removed on certain areas which completely changes the atmosphere. Sub Base: They removed snow storm. Weather is calm. Visibility 10km+ Wasteland: Fog removed. That greatly reduces the atmosphere of the map.

MW2 09 still holds up to this day. MW3 2023 looks like some fan game made in unity.

The original ones have this atmosphere it's so raw, new ones look to clean and colorful

They did a good job imo, the maps look good

Unpopular opinion but the remastered version are beautiful

MW2 had so much more little details. Sure it looks clean and sharp but there’s no little touches like the brief cases and debris on the ground. The maps told a story where now they look just to clean

The fact that I remember a lot of the map layout means a lot about the original game ! Damn i'd love to be able to play it again and rediscover everything !

What a fabulous job how they implemented 16 maps into the game that's completely incoherent to the campaign like whatsoever.

Original MW2 graphics atmosphere still looks great 😎❤️

nice work must have taken a month of sundays to do

I remember when using Thermal Sights actually helped due to the Fog, Snow & Rain of the OG MW 2009.

New Graphics looks insane but no one can complain how good it looked back in the days for us OG's we cant feel the same like back in the days u know .. the nostalgia hits but not the feelings like sitting there with your friend playing splitscreen in a private lobby the days are gone my friends :) Sad but true.

It would be cool if they have a retro map circulation, the old maps untouched, and the new maps.

Can you do a video on how fast you can get across various maps on mw3 vs og mw2? Some maps feel so tiny.

It just looks so much more crisp and clean. I love it

the old cod looks really good, even if compared to the modern standards.

They replaced the WWII memorial on Wasteland with a damn power transformer!?

People seem to be under the impression these are just the same old maps with new textures but these comparisons prove they are full on remakes. Not a single mesh or texture appears to have been reused, just the layouts.

1:22 love the little detail they added to commemorate a great villain in the cod franchise

MW3 has better looking interior, but MW2 has better exterior.

Old one's more detailed. New one's a half cooked omelette.

Yes, fixed my problem with my BMW 1 series convertible 👍

It feels like when u go on google earth and u use the time stamp thing on the address you searched up comparing how it looked before vs now and seeing how modernised and things changed over the years.

It's funny that in the old Terminal map, the plane has 5 engines

Rust missing that hiding spot that was in the back they got like a door or something right there

The most egregious changes were made to Rundown. It looks like the saturation was turned all the way up and then they put operating room lighting on top of it.

I feel like just the way some of these maps are actually played are done differently than the originals. Like I honestly forgot that a couple of these maps were originals until seeing them here and realized that the way I played the OGs in comparison to how I play them now differs. Could be possible change in spawn locations or areas that are accessible now that may not have been before that create the differing sniping or camping spots. The changing time of day for some also have that slightly disorienting feel as well.

I bought a Ps5 and MW3 2023 for nostalgic reasons, yet the OG Mw2 simply cannot be surpassed. Probably the best game I've ever played.

Try to find a tree or vegetation in MW3: IMPOSSIBLE

Good job, it's a great compilation you reminded me of a good time in my teens with Call of duty. Keep it up, uploading quality content.

I don’t like how the maps are wider and longer to make shots harder to potentially kill because of damage falloff.

25:24 you cannot be serious

Basically the way i see these maps is like a multiverse lol same location different universe which is technically what the new MW story is anyway. Plus the story takes place in different timelines so it only makes sense for it to look different. Still i understand why people are mad.

its crazy the new game is just so clean and empty, yet it feels harder to see anything

Removing all the trees on Derail was a dumb idea. It’s so easy to spawn trap the woods side because there is literally no concealment. Even smoke grenades don’t work because it’s an open field.

I notice a reduction of foliage/debris on the new maps. Overall, I like the new looks a lot. Fav new version is Skidrow. New version looks fantastic. My least favorite is rundown. Honestly looks like they never completed the remake, tons of trees and grass missing, etc. I think underpass at 19:19 and Skidrow at 32:19 are some really impressive transformations.

A lot of great improvements. MWIII verdion of the maps have much better visibility and doesn't have that ugly color palette that the original game has. I guess the only thing about the remakes that are worse is they feel a little too clean, like Terminal or Rundown, but overall some really nice improvements
