It looks terrible. Also, the animations look bad and somehow it's stuttering in the trailer lol the vehicle scenes are rough. Obviously texture resolution has gotten better over the years, but COD4 had better animations than this. Look at the remastered COD4 trailer from 8 years ago (or the MP trailer from that game) and tell me that looks like an older game than BO6.

All I can really be happy about is that these system requirements are still somewhat sensible. RX 400/GTX 900 even making an appearance is a relief. No doubt this is also to fit the new COD onto a gaming laptop or even last-gen consoles to soak up as much market as they can, but hey. A win's a win.

I haven't played CoD since IW, is there any SP campaign in this?

They all have a single player a campaign that while usually decent tend to be short.

Afaik only BLOPS 4 doesn't have a single player portion.

I played the beta of blops 6 last month, and I beat MW3 Remastered for the first time last month too. MW3 Remastered is lightyears ahead graphically, combat, design, etc. Treyarch made a huge mistake with blops 6 imo, it is a downgrade in just about every category. This is the first CoD to really focus on upscaling tech like FSR, this shit and DLSS are such a bane on the existence of proper gaming the way it should be.

I would go as far to say that at 1440p 27" maxed out, even Inifnite Warfare had better graphics than blops 6. so yeah, not sure what they thinking

I know COD is not a graphical powerhouse (by design) but its nice to see reasonable specs again

You should try MW3 Remastered Single Player campaign, its the best game graphically I have ever seen in my life.

At least the requirements are reasonable. Personally I don't even care about the game, but at least you don't need a 1000EUR GPU to play this with high settings.

I still prefer Mirror's Edge Catalyst myself for the best looks, looks hella stunning when played at 4K with maximum settings. And it's over 8yr old game.

Can I host my own server instead of using matchmaking? If not, it's DOA.
