Since backwards compatibility launched, the response has been "overwhelming," Microsoft recently said.
Microsoft has added new titles on a regular basis since then- you can see all 250-plus games in the catalog here. The Xbox One's backwards compatibility feature launched in November 2015 with the New Xbox One Experience update. Xbox boss Phil Spencer teased this week that there are some games coming to the library "soon" that he is "really looking forward to." The Treyarch-developed game launched in 2006.Ĭall of Duty 3 is the second new addition to the backwards compatibility catalog this week, following Tuesday's launch of Word Puzzle. If not, you can buy it now on your console or through for $20. If you already own Call of Duty 3 on Xbox 360, it should show up automatically in your Xbox One library. The top five most-requested titles are, in order, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Call of Duty 3 is not the first Call of Duty title in the backwards compatibility library, as it joins Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty 2.Ĭall of Duty games dominate the most-requested lineup for backwards compatibility titles the Xbox Feedback site. If the game is in your old Xbox 360 collection, it's well worth checking out on Xbox One.The Xbox One backwards compatibility catalog expanded today with Call of Duty 3, Microsoft's Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb announced today on Twitter. Call of Duty 2 is a somewhat barebones release by today's standards, but we had a lot of fun revisiting this title. Based on our tests, there are no more lurching frame-rates, and where there is a drop it's usually settled within a few seconds. There's no improvement there, but the feel of the game and the quality of its all-important low latency controls see a huge improvement. And as you would expect, the Xbox One visuals are a complete match for its delivery on original Xbox 360 hardware. It's still running at the same resolution of course - native 720p. But the point is that it's rare that this happens, while the alpha-based effects that gave the Xbox 360 so much trouble are no longer an issue with the newer hardware's more powerful GPU.
It's not a perfect read-out though: you do get the odd hiccup here and there, but the opening Stalingrad campaign mission shows Xbox One only really buckling with lots of enemies on-screen. Watch the video below and most of these drops are eliminated - leaving you with a clean 60fps line most of the way. The increase in performance running the game on Xbox One is plain to see. We might not be locked to 60fps, but the improvement here represents a night and day difference overall. For a game like Call of Duty 2, this creates a jarring sensation as it switches between these two refreshes - almost like slowing the game down whenever you were faced with any real action. There's a 16.7m render budget per frame, but consistently failing to hit that target causes a 33ms stutter - in effect, the game is momentarily running at 30fps, before returning to its target.
CALL OF DUTY 2 BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY FULL
The game always targeted a full 60fps output, but utilises a double-buffer v-sync set-up. Revisiting the original Call of Duty 2 on Xbox 360 today, the frequency of its lurching stutter is actually quite remarkable. Lurching dips in frame-rate are ironed out, producing a much more consistent experience that sticks much more closely to its target 60fps. Call of Duty 2 support for Xbox One backward compatibility arrived yesterday, and the Xbox 360 launch title sees a frankly remarkable increase in performance compared to its showing on original hardware.
