bump with gamespot impressions. As an owner of what i saw as a very unimpressive, laggy, and poorly coded PC version, i am a bit jealous and i feel a bit cheated. As if the PC version were a beta test.

Of course, the biggest change to Modern Combat in the move to the 360 will obviously be on the technical end. The game is getting a complete visual overhaul--which should be apparent in our new HD gameplay footage. This will include the replacement of all the original game's art assets, from textures and character models to the levels themselves, with more highly detailed versions. The various factions will all have specific character models now, for instance, and each character class will have visibly unique weapons loadouts. The new character models even have a "war face" of sorts--when they bear down with a heavy weapon, you'll see them snarling or gritting their teeth in the heat of battle.
Look for the Xbox version's downloadable content to be included in the box this time around, as well.
The physics in the game have also been heavily upgraded. Almost all objects in the environment are now physically modeled, down to individual bullet casings, which should give the frenzied military action a more believable appearance. Even the ragdoll physics have been enhanced to give downed soldiers more realistic weighting and momentum. Lastly, as you'd expect on the 360, the visuals are full of the sort of lighting and other post-processing effects that give it a next-gen look that's drastically improved over the original
