Last week, TeaserPlay shared a video from a fan remake of Call of Duty 2 in Unreal Engine 5. And yesterday, they shared a comparison video between the original 2005 and the fan remake versions of it.
This comparison video showcases the graphical improvements that this fan remake brings to the table. It also shows what indie devs can achieve on Epic’s latest engine. After all, we’re comparing here a product from a triple-A company against a fan remake.
For this fan remake, TeaserPlay has recreated a number of environments from COD2. They also took advantage of Unreal Engine 5’s Lumen, Nanite and Ray Tracing (for reflections) capabilities.
The end result is stunning, so be sure to watch the video.
Lastly, you can check out TeaserPlay’s previous fan remakes/recreations in Unreal Engine 5. You can find remakes and concept trailers of Red Dead Revolver, Far Cry 7, Dark Souls 4 and Resident Evil 4 Remake. There are also remakes of Assassin’s Creed Infinity, Silent Hill, Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto III.
Enjoy!

Great showcase for next-gen UE5 tech.
Man, the Unreal engine is absolutely Epic despite what the whiners say.
I gotta say, for someone who sees the desert every day, UE5’s deserts (particularly rocks) look very life-like it’s uncanny.
This is because they are using quixel megascans of an actual desert
Man, you are braindamaged.
gfx are far better obviously but I think the art direction in the OG still wins. the storm the beach scene? the OG looked epic, those were serious cliffs….the russian town had a blue hue to it giving it a COOOOLLLD look, you could feel the brrrrr.
why does every unreal engine 5 game has to look so clean and shinny?
Because these amateur devs don’t know how to interact with post processing or correctly work with PBR materials. I’ve barely seen any of these people use a roughness map in their materials, its incredible.
wanted to ask the same because these demos all look samey and I didn’t know why. My guess was that they do not yet know how to use this the engine and since the engine is so advanced it fills in the gap somehow. Hopefully we will see them create unique things in the future.
Absolutely astounding. The power of the Unreal Engine is exponential, the technological possibilities are almost as endless as these fascinating articles, representing the Unreal Engine!
Well, it’s not easy making articles on games, when there’s no games to talk about so John rely on having these shltty articles about UE every-fockin-day.
Keep on it, Johnny Boy! This site must survive.

LOL
then why are you here?
Aren’t you the little sissy f@ggot that was crying about bigots yet was still staying on the website? Why are you here then?
You’re just too stupid to understand simple words, mate.
So, why don’t you GFY.
“I continue I want to emphasize that this MOD does not promote NAZISM”
Unendorsed.
I played Spanish Civil war mod and back 2 frontlines. Both are good mods, back2frontlines have some german missions as well. This mod didn’t give me a nice impression, mostly because it is the same missions with alternate skins.
This showcase would crumble if the modder tried to put a firefight into it, that’s why he didn’t.
what the hell is even that? garbage I mean bad design, bad colors, bad everything. are those people commenting “amazing, smiley, smiley” blind or what?
John, I swear, this is going to be you if you keep posting about Unreal Engine 5 remakes.

Looks like crap.
looks good but it will never gonna happen
Meh, they didn’t respect the art direction of the original.
this UE5 remake feels stellar at first but then its annoying because its just like a HD texture of the games they try to remake.
