"This is absolutely ridiculous, more people with consoles have an HD TV than those that don't. So Why is infinity ward making us suffer. "

"Is this for both the 360 and PS3 or just the PS3? As far as I know, CoD4 is "true" 720p on the 360."

"obviously this game is going to be quality. maybe this allows people with non HDTV to witness greatness. ALTHOUGH. i'm getting extremely frustrated with alot the games released nowadays that are not native 1080p. what was the point of buying the HDTV in the first place? in all honesty i enjoy playing all these rehashes of older games than playing some game that isnt up to par with half the gaming communities TV sets! i know someone out there will object to this but all in all. i want good graphics with good gameplay! especially since infinity ward is jacking up the price!"

"....how really cares what resolution it is...it looks really good and will feel really great. Only if you got really really good eyes would you know the difference and the only way to feel upset if it is lower res on one console over the other."

"and people were complaining about Halo ODST's 640p resolution."

""This is absolutely ridiculous, more people with consoles have an HD TV than those that don't. So Why is infinity ward making us suffer. " Wow, Tyler you really are a dumbass. More HDTV owners than SDTV owners, yeah right."

"Laland => COD 4 is 600p on every platform"

"@laland, can you read? "Modern Warfare 2 will sport a resolution of 600p like its predecessor." and "Like its predecessor, Modern Warfare 2 will be 600p on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3." Jesus man, your 360 is jammed so far up your arse its affecting your eyesight, maybe the disc tray is stuck in your visual cortex!"

"I'm not all that bothered but I'm not really sure that the compromise is worth while. I have never really had a problem with 30 fps if that is what the game would do at 720p so unless there was a serious framerate problem I think I would prefer the extra pixels"

"cod4 on 360 isnt true 720p they were both 600p for tht game 2"

"ok incase u guys no nothing, its the same resolution on cod4, for both consoles, but cod4 was 30 frames per second, codmw2 is 60 frames per second do u realize wat that does, they both have their pros and cons, a good example is like killzone 2 was 30 frames but full 1080, and looked completely amazing now were going to c wat the 60 frames per second does and i think its going to be better, ne ways good article liked it"

"My telvision (a wonderful 1080p plasma) says that Modern Warfare runs at 720p on my Playstation 3. But I guess all HDTV's will upconvert the image to at least that. I'm surprised to hear the news, and it sucks but oh well."

"Tyler, Mark Rein of Epic Games recently said most people who played Gears of War did so in SD, so you're not correct in assuming most people have an HD screen. Isn't it better than it plays smoothly and is a fun experience, like the original MW?"

"This is the same resolution that my EEE PC 901 runs at!!"

"I prefer the 60fps! The feeling of a game that runs with a smooth framerate of 60 pictures per second creates the most playable shooter on a console ever."

"Sounds fine to me. I'll take 60 fps over a few thousand extra pixels any day. It's not like it won't be up-res'ed anyway. COD4 looked amazing and this one will likely look better (and equal on both HD consoles). "A sub-HD rendering resolution is surely a compromise worth taking considering the benefits?" Yes, it is."

"Guys, if you want MW2 in full HD fork out $1000-2000 for a good gaming PC. IW are just working within the limitations of current-gen gaming consoles, don't blame them. "

"Wow not achieving 720p? Consoles are really outdated. My budget build $1300 PC with a 920 and GTX 280 can easily run CoD 4 always above 60 fps EVEN during Ground War where my friend's Xbox and other friend's PS3 fails to sustain a 45 fps average. "

"this iz friggin stupid...cuz HD tvs(such as 720p screens only display 540 lines of content per half a second...so there really iz no difference in quality... plus being dat dis shyte iz running at 60 frames per second, it should result inna smooth gameplay experience!"

"I love PC gaming. 1920x1080. 1080p baby yeah! I feel bad for console gamers."

"A Console is so much more convenient, who cares if its below HD. Id like to see you take your PC round a friends :)"

"CoD4 isn't 600p on every platform - I run it at 1200p (1920x1200) on the PC on a £40 graphics card. "

"boo hoo...i have a hdtv and the news sucks but oh well, the game play is wayyy more important."
