Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Pack "Crash" Comparison Video

83 Comments

Posted March 30, 2010 - By Eric Eckstein




The Modern Warfare 2: Stimulus Pack is upon us, available exclusive to Xbox 360 owners for the next 30 days, but that shouldn't stop PC and PS3 owners from watching from the sidelines at home.  Friend of G4, Matt Pascual, took the maps to task with this comparison video looking at how the "Crash" map is depicted in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 versus how it exists in the original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.  You'll notice that it's still a very faithful rendition of the classic map.  Of course, throw familiarity out the window once someone calls in the AC-130.  See for yourself here:

UPDATE: The brightness was higher on the original video, so we've since recaptured the video below.  Our intention was to walk through the attention to detail of the new maps, so we apologize if the original video misrepresented that.  This should set the record straight:

    the washed out colours in MW2 make it a bit more real IMO. gives the map a better "war-torn" feel.

    To all MW2 haters... Are you still bitching and complaining about the game, IW, Activision etc? If you hate the game that much, just move on, go play something else instead of jumping in every MW2 related discussion and tell the rest of us how much you think the game sucks. Little hit for you.. Nobody cares!

    Oh that's right, you are probably part of the famous "boycott MW2" Steam group where almost every member bought and played the game on day 1. Why don't you do the same this time around and start a "boycott the map pack" group and then be the first in line to buy it?

    You guys are ridiculous.

    Yikes! Last week when I said that IW was giving the gamers 3.2 maps instead of 5, I take it back.
    It's more like 3.1 1/2

    First off, I know im not the only one whos mad about them recycling maps and making us pay for them. IW has a big enough group devoted to games like MW2 were they should be able to come up with new ones. If youre going to recycle maps, dont make us pay for them. And dont say that with the new map pack "youre paying for three and getting five", because charging 15$ for three maps is just rediculas.
    If youre going to recycle atleast make it look better. Given that the MW2 version could be played on a different tv of system, atleast update it. Give it more detail, add some new areas, make things look better. Im not knocking MW2, love the game. Im just knocking the 15$ price tag for three new maps and two recycled ones.

    The MW2 video does seem way to bright, but I checked out other comparisons on youtube and they all yield the same results, CoD4 > MW2 by a noticeable amount. Which imo is pretty pathetic.

    CoD4 looks 100x better than MW2. The color and textures in CoD4 are far more vibrant.

    I would love to play that map on MW2, but I refuse to pay $15 for 5 maps. Seriously, Gears 2 gave us a deleted level and 7 maps for $15. I'm just going to wait until there is a deal for the Maps before I purchase them.

    I wasn't able to play many public games on these maps yesterday.

    Not stable at all, had to play private matches.

    wow, this video misses the biggest change in the whole map, its on the inside of one of the buildings in the back

    You know what really grinds my gears?.......No just straight Team Death match.

    The WAW mappacks were much better, At least you got to "CHOOSE" the kind of game you wanted to play. It seemed that West and Zampella really cared about the gamers and there experience with the COD MW name and not making a buck!

    Thanks Activision for sucking... you can keep your double XP

    The map is called "Crash," as in what the maps did to MW2 yesterday? Boosh!

    I'm not hating, I love MW2, I just can make (and take) a joke every now and then.

    Well, the real problem is that they release these "new" maps but, only let you play them if you want to be entered into a randomized game mode. So if you only like teamdeathmatch, well... you just spent 15 dollars on maps you will almost never get to play on teamdeathmatch.

    I played the maps 3 times, got crappy gameplay modes, and probably won't see them again because of this.

    Combine this with the fact that they don't allow party chat in team deathmatch and it makes me wonder if the people running the company have some type of serious learning disability.

    Absolute fail.

    why does mw2 look so foggy? Call of duty 4 looks much better.
