Hey guys,
deep3r here and I'm here to show you amazing information about the amazing series. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
TreyArch = Zombies
Infinty Ward = Online Gameplay
Creators of MW3:
Activisions Bobby Kotick must be on extreme damage-control mode, storming through offices making sure his employees arent making the company look any worse for wear by actually being honest with the public. That postulation follows events from a few days ago when the gaming community lambasted Activision after the whole Modern Warfare 3 vs Battlefield 3 fallout occurred when Infinity Wards creative strategist, Robert Bowling mentioned that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 wouldnt be running on a new engine. Well, CVG landed an interview with Bowling because Kotick probably wanted him to clear the air and make it known to the gaming universe that Bowling didnt really mean what he tweeted.
Bowling said in the interview with CVG that
"I was speaking hypothetically and from a top-line philosophy that building a ground-up engine is counter productive. [I was] not referring to any specific project, simply clarifying with that user that we never - for any game - build a 'brand new' engine, but iterate on a solid base as you noted in your article, adding what's needed and innovates it.
Of course. Isnt that what every developer does for sequels? However, some people have recognized the evolution in gaming with some franchises. Bungie did this between Halo 2 and Halo 3 and between Halo: ODST and Halo: Reach. Crysis 2 for instance, is running on the newer CryEngine 3, an upgrade from the CryEngine 2 for Crysis. Of course, DICEs upcoming Battlefield 3 is running on the new FrostBite 2.0 engine, which is a half-step up from the FrostBite 1.5 used in Bad Company 2. So you dont have to build an entirely new engine for an ongoing franchise but it doesnt hurt to upgrade to a newer engine if the franchise is expected to compete and innovate in an industry thats all about interactive innovation.
Anyway, Bowling wanted to further clarify his point on the matter so no one walks away confused, he mentioned that
"The key point is the difference between inferring 'nothing new' and what we were actually discussing which was 'ground-up'. This is standard, as near every engine currently in use by us and other developers are iterations on their previous codebase."
Just to be clear, the exact exchange between Bowling and the user went as follows: "someone just needs to spend the $ and construct a new engine for the CoD franchise... Ground up," Bowling replied: "That would be counter productive. An engine takes years and years to develop and get right."
I still dont see the counter productivity in designing a new engine given that a strategic development move like that (initiated years before they got to this rock and hard-place scenario) would have allowed the team to break away from the current, formulaic route the Call of Duty franchise is currently on. However, it does make sense why they wouldnt start from scratch for a game thats supposed to be due out this fall. Usually an engine built from the ground up is attached to a new IP to showcase the engine and games potential, such as the Source with Half Life, CryEngine with Far Cry or ids Tech 5 with Rage.
Nevertheless, Bowlings comments are still irksome insofar that he simply could have responded with No worries, well surprise gamers soon enough. Or Tech-schmeck, Battlefield 3 is no sweat off our backs. Something smarmy and sarcastic would have done just as well to add some mystery to the project and a little bit of hope that we wont end up with Black Ops 2.0 in a game called Modern Warfare 3. But simply out-right denying the use of a brand new engine for Activisions biggest franchise was literally asking for community backlash. How does it look that a billion dollar franchise leading the pack of first-person shooter games in sales is the last of the bunch to do anything new, original, unique or different? 60 frames per second will only carry you so far but it takes more than smooth frame rates and blockbuster set pieces to justify the amount of money the Call of Duty franchise is now raking in.
One thing is for sure: Battlefield 3 has Activision up in a stir and its not because the game is a threat to sales but a threat to the companys publishing integrity. Everyone is now looking at Activision to step up to the plate and prove that theyre not just in it to squeeze money off consumers with annual outings consisting of a $60 re-skin and new maps.

Updated Information:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare publisher Activision has repeatedly stated that Infinity Ward is doing fine since heads Vince Zampella and Jason West were ousted from the company early last year. A report on the LA Times' Company Town blog, however, tells a different story -- according to the piece, both Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software have been tasked with helping develop the next, still unannounced Modern Warfare title, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
"People familiar with the situation" claim that Sledgehammer is working with the remaining staff at Infinity Ward on developing the game's single-player campaign, while Singularity developer Raven Software is in charge of bringing up the multiplayer side of things. The sources also contend that, like past Call of Duty titles, MW3 is expected to ship this November. Additionally, Sledgehammer is said to have halted production on its own spinoff Call of Duty title in order to help IW out.
Update: Activision issued a comment in response to the LAT piece, stating, "There's been much specultion recently. We look forward to releasing details for the next Call of Duty in the near future."

Amazing.
Who can't wait!
Also if you wondered why I bolded it, It was a lot to read and I don't have the best eye sight so it made my reading experience and the user(s) a bit easier.

This is very informational and if there was a mw3 section this will definitly need to be sticky.
