Why CoD is 720 on X1.....

There's conspiracy. No developer/publisher that wants to keep his job will say anything bad on record about the PS4 or Xbox One.
This would especially be the case with Mark Rubin/COD and Microsoft, where MS is paying likely tens of millions of dollars for timed exclusive DLC and exclusive advertising (notice all COD commercials have the Xbox One logo at the end?).
If this situation was reversed for AC4 (where Playstation has a similar advertising/dlc exclusivity), I would also especially take anything that Ubisoft said with a grain of salt.
It is a cheap trick imo. If people want higher contrast they can adjust their TVs. It tends to lead to the wrong claim that "higher contrast = larger/more detailed textures".
My opinion that it's a cheap trick can't be right or wrong, btw. I suggest you learn the difference between opinion and fact before calling things "wrong". That right there is worth a laughing gif.
Oh lord, there's so much stupid in your post.
That's like me saying that I could use the contrast "cheap trick" to make my current gen games look next gen. You can't say anything, because that's my opinion. derp.
I decided to do such.

Am I a wizard? Yes. I used unsharpening filter low settings, to give it even better textures than XBO!
Here's a helpful link just for you, because apparently you still can't tell the difference and weren't paying attention in preschool.

No, you're right.
It is my opinion that your post was filled with stupid, and since opinions cannot be wrong.....your post was indeed, filled with stupid.

Did your wizardry make all those guys float as well?

You think he would've garnered more respect had he said "We're lazy and we suck"? lol.
I'd love for a developer to say that. Just once. "Why were there problems with your game?" "Well, you know, our team is pretty lazy and not very talented or bright."
Yes, because that's what people are saying and thinking anyway. At least if they admitted to it and said something like "We're going to work extra hard on the next game" they'd get some credit from gamers that believe they're copy/pasta/lazy/bad anyway.
I'd LOVE more transparency in gaming.
Case in point: Bioshock Infinite. I loved it, really did (nowhere near as much as 1 or 2, but still...) but it was NOT the game they teased a couple years back, not even close. Sure, there were scenes/events that unfolded similar to the teaser stuff, but it was NOT the same game.
The main thing was Elizabeth, she was supposed to be this uber powerful whatcha-ma-jiggy that would amplify your vigors (this is why I think they were so lackluster in the end product). Fighting a crowd of 30 enemies and have the shock-jockey vigor? No problem because Liz will make it rain (literally) then you can shock them and the water will make it hit all 30 of them.
Fighting a big bad ass big-daddy wannabe and have TK? No problem, TK a bunch of s*** to Liz and she's turn it into a house sized molten ball of high velocity death.
None of that was in the game and they never said why. I would have given Irrational a lot more respect had they said "Well, the game we wanted wasn't possible on current gen consoles so we had to scale back on all that really cool stuff we were doing".
Then I would have been all "Okay, just give it to us in Infinite 2, should there be one". As it stands I've no interest in another Infinite title.
All because there's no transparency in gaming.
Next years cod for ps4 and x1 will look 100 times better then ghosts because they will use a real next gen engine and they will have a year working on these consoles
Is there actual confirmation of them moving to a "real next gen engine" next year or are people just assuming?
I imagine they'll keep releasing PS3/360 games for at least 2 more cycles myself. And they'll probably continue to upgrade their existing engine.
Not anything terribly wrong with that. We'll get a better looking COD game next year but where is this idea that they'll abandon their existing engine coming from?

So that I can be sure I am following correctly, which are we going with now?
A) Just sit back - "You can't even tell the difference between 720p and 1080p anyway." / "While the resolution is lower, that allows for greater effects and better textures." / "It is a developer choice to go with 720p, not that the Xbone is not powerful enough."
B) Gotta be the tools - "Devs are just learning to use the tools, next game they release will be up to par." / "Immature tools will improve over time."
C) Dat needy OS - "MS hasn't had the time to optimize memory usage for the OS." / "Kinect and OS functions like Snap currently have a set amount of memory allocated to them, but MS is going to release some of that in the future."
D) Lazy, lazy Devs - "This game could easily be 1080p at 60 on Xbone, it doesn't even look good!" / "If the Devs bothered to optimize their game and weren't so lazy this could easily be (insert any resolution above 720p here)."

Well I guess since I'm getting both it's not a big deal to me. I was hoping for a bit more parity though.
I hope this all fades away soon.

What xbox fanboys don't seem to get is the fact that if devs decided to go 720p on ps4 then they could also add even more bells and whistles or whatever you want to call it. Going 720p on xb1 is not some benefit that magically gets you a better looking game. The same exact thing could be done on ps4.
I think the talk of lazy devs is not just about the X1, but next gen in general. Because even on PS4 it looks like s***e, and they just reused the same old engine instead of actually creating a new one for next gen. Either way, it doesn't look anything like it should..even at 1080p on PS4.
However if they strip effects from the ps4 just so it can state its 1080p that makes it somehow better? what we need is two games running at 720p or 1080p and see which looks better...
No devs are lazy some are just better then others, the amount of effort even the so called 'lazy developers' have to put in to get a working, shipping game out the door is immense. The task is not a small one which creates a natural divide wrt to talent and also time constraints.
