Call of Duty Advanced Warfare being built on a ‘new engine’

4.4
With each new Call of Duty release comes an enhancement in visuals, and Advanced Warfare is set to be no exception.

According to the latest issue of GameInformer, Sledgehammer Co-founder Michael Condrey confirmed Advanced Warfare is “being built on a new engine”.

So what does this all mean? Previous Call of Duty titles have been developed on a heavily modified version of the id Tech 3 engine dating back to Call of Duty 2 all the way up to Call of Duty: Ghosts, more commonly known as the ‘IW Engine’.

Although each title has seen extensive enhancements in visual quality year on year, no Call of Duty title to this day has been developed on a “brand new” engine.

Based on the comment made by Condrey, we can only assume this is no longer the case and will instead move away from the id Tech/IW Engine to a completely new in-house engine.

With Call of Duty development now switching to a 3 year development cycle, it has given Sledgehammer Games the opportunity to essentially start from scratch. You’ll see evidence of the drastic improvements in the latest Advanced Warfare Reveal Trailer. If you rewind back to previous Call of Duty reveal trailers, you’ll notice they lack the smoothness and attention to detail as seen in the Advanced Warfare trailer.

We should expect to see more details surrounding the new engine in the months to come.

Dylan- I have some feeling as this being close to MW3 with Sitrep+ ;) but anyways literally every CoD release they said that it was built on a 'new engine' when in reality theres no way they can program a new engine and build what they consider a game of the year quality game in just a measly one year.


Actually its three years. There are three different COD developers so they each have three years to make their game.

A new engine? Isn't that what they've said in the past and it's still the same thing.

kingcee All the haters stay hating if this new engine is new and makes the game better then previous cods then don't be saying anything good about it


"New engine"
Noob, there is no "new engine" for what this piece of crap is gonna be, COD fanboy.


You obviously have no idea since you don't work for Sledgehammer. If you don't like COD then stop reading articles about it and commenting on it.



People like you are the reason they ruined such a good game, they realized they could just keep selling empty promises and just regurgitate it, butcher it, throw it in to a blender, sit around figure out what other ******** changes they can make that will ruin it and release it. And people like you ride their ***** the whole damn time.


So they ruined a good game, by NOT making huge changes? If you don't like COD, then don't play it.

TZB Yes! About time they change things up a little!
But now everyone is going to complain about how cod will be to different.


They **** up the gameplay in ghosts greatly it didn't even feel normal. Re-release Cod4 or MW2 and people would lose their shit over it.
