Not speaking empirically, since it’s bound to look better than its ancestors, but compared with its contemporaries right now. And let’s start by saying this is the best-looking COD for a long time. All were tested at 2560 x 1600 resolution. In lieu of game-sanctioned presets, we created four fidelity points using the graphics options: max, high, medium, low.
Tested on an Intel i7 2600k 16GB of RAM, Nvidia GTX 1070, Windows 10 Sledgehammer’s filmic SMAA T2x deserves mention, too, delivering a distinctive Saving Private Ryan look to the game without taking too much of a performance hit. You are unlikely to become an expert in ambient occlusion techniques by reading ‘provides small scale soft shadowing of indirect lighting’ but you will at least grasp whether it will make your game look better or worse. Of note within this menu is a visual illustration for each option, which gives some idea of what it is you are changing and how it will affect the appearance of the game. If you cannot find a configuration that works for your system, you are running the game on a potato clock. On the plus side, 29 separate options is a lot. This is where the absence of presets is felt most keenly, as it is laborious to scale each option up or down individually. Heading into the advanced options gives you a total of 29 different elements to tweak. Not a massive deal, since most games do not have one. Oh, about that: there is no performance benchmark.
It is not a failsafe measure of what your PC can hack – the game seemed confident that running max settings at an upscaled 5120×3200 would use less than half my available GPU memory – but it is a handy indicator when used in conjunction with old-fashioned sight tests. It is also very useful to see the VRAM usage meter over on the right, as seen in Ubisoft’s PC ports.
Having any kind of colorblind consideration is still a rarity in games, so well done Sledgehammer for including this. PCGamesN’s own Kirk and his 2.7 million colourblind kin will be pleased to observe not just a colorblind mode, but tweaking options to adjust the intensity and filter type. It is a welcome inclusion for those who do not feel inclined to agonise over different AA options, but if you are reading this article then you are probably not one of those people.īut for that omission, the game cannot be faulted on any other grounds found in these menus. Instead, it offers to analyse your system and auto-fiddle with the advanced options in order to hit that sweet spot. Overall, it is a win for COD: WWII based on the suite of options it offers, although annoyingly it does not give you presets to cycle through.
