It\u2019s crucial that all platforms the game is available on offer at least 60fps to provide a level playing field for Multiplayer fans \u2014 although the debate about the advantage PC players have over console has dogged Call of Duty since the dawn of crossplay.<\/p>\n<p>DF reports that Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support \u201chelps smooth out\u201d framerate drops on supported displays, although you\u2019ll have a harder time of it in terms of performance playing through portable mode.<\/p>\n<p>And then we come to responsiveness. DF\u2019s tests show 81ms in docked mode and 100ms in portable mode, the latter of which is <em>double<\/em> the PS5\u2019s 49.1. In fact, DF found that Multiplayer in portable mode ranged from 83ms at best to 125ms at worst. DF called this &#8220;actually deleterious to performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-review-crew-a-great-campaign-but-theres-a-catch\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>DF seems generally happy with the Switch 2 version, which was handled by port specialist Digital Legends with support from Infinity Ward. But if you\u2019re into Multiplayer, the inescapable fact is you are at a disadvantage. No matter how fast your trigger finger, the Switch 2 will take longer to respond.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of Multiplayer it\u2019s a different story. The Campaign runs at 30fps, which was good enough for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/modern-warfare-4-switch-2-gameplay\">IGN\u2019s Simon Cardy when he played the Switch 2 version of Modern Warfare 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGranted, the textures are nowhere near as detailed, with flat surfaces and faces smoothed over to give the impression of plasticine versions of the campaign\u2019s characters,\u201d he said. \u201cIt&#8217;s by no means a looker, but considering the reduced horsepower Nintendo\u2019s latest console is working with, the gameplay itself was smooth, running at 30fps at 4K while docked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, it&#8217;s quite a visual downgrade when compared to the likes of PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, but that comes with the territory,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd if you\u2019re solely a Nintendo owner who\u2019s been locked out of Call of Duty for over a decade, you\u2019re getting a version of Modern Warfare 4 that feels every bit as snappy as the series usually is, even if it\u2019s a bit muddier than Nintendo\u2019s own crisp visuals.\u201d<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"modern-warfare-4-graphics-comparison-nintendo-switch-2-vs-pc\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>Why is Call of Duty releasing on a Nintendo console now, 14 years after the last time? It has to do with Microsoft\u2019s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Back when Microsoft was facing regulatory hurdles, one announcement designed to help convince the powers that be to green light the buyout was a 10-year commitment to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo following the merger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMicrosoft is committed to helping bring more games to more people \u2014 however they choose to play,\u201d then Xbox boss Phil Spencer said in December 2022.
