Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare debuts on October 25.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s photogrammetry captures gritty realism like never before

Call of Duty games have been known for pushing the edge of technology on the consoles and the PC. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare lives up to that tradition thanks to improved graphics technologies such as photogrammetry.

When Modern Warfare ships on October 25, it will feature a new game engine that delivers one of the most immersive and photorealistic experiences in a combat game, based on a preview I saw at Infinity Ward, the studio that is making the game and is the shepherd of the Modern Warfare franchise.
