Solution
DirectX 11 is only available on games that support it. Call of Duty Black Ops does not support DirectX11 and will only render in DirectX 9. Right now there are only maybe 20 or so games out there that support DirectX 11, and none of the Call of Duty games are on that list. The ones I can recall off the top of my head that support DX11 are:
Metro 2033
Tom Clancy's HAWX 2
Lost Planet 2
Aliens vs. Predator
Crysis 2 (with DX11 patch)
Total War: Shogun 2 (with a DX11 patch)
Dragon Age 2
World of Warcraft
Dirt 2

Most games do not support DX11, and that trend is likely to continue for the next while, it takes time for developers to implement new technologies, and the consoles can't support any DX11 features, so there is little motivation from...
I guess for me the post-DX11 Crysis 2 was beautiful already and therefore, the finer differences of DX11/ High Res textures were just not noticeable.

In many games, I do stop and admire the 'scenery' but that's because it grabs me on the very first instant and not because a newer DX patch, etc was released. For eg, when Half Life 2: Lost Coast was released, it got my attention straight away and I just stood and admired the scenery a lot (knowing fully well that it wasn't a game per se, but only something by Valve to show off the Source Engine)

But that's the point, ain't it? Graphics that make you stop in your tracks! :) I think Crysis 2 already had pretty awesome graphics. Whilst the graphics in Fear 3 as compared to Fear 2 are much better, they just don't come across as striking, unfortunately!

EDIT: First sentence, I meant "Pre-DX11 Crysis 2" 😛
