Although it should come as no surprise that the Wii port of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare will lack some graphical depth in comparison with the 360, ps3, and PC counterparts, someone at Activision must be worried about it.  Joystiq’s Justin McElroy noticed some apparent photoshop work in recently released screenshots.  An added enemy corpse here, an unrealistically rendered plume of smoke there, and… well, you have a few screenshots that really don’t look any better, and leave us puzzled.

Activision’s motives for these apparent hack-jobs are unclear, but hopefully they’ll drop whatever angle they are on now and just focus on giving us a solid port of COD4 with a decent framerate and graphics somewhat comparable to playing the PC version on lowest settings.
