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.

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


Ghost was only one that got a new engine but hopefully this engine kills ghost.

ZipsPosted:

Hmm, considering this is a new engine it actually might be playable without getting bored instantly. Hopefully anyways. If not, there's going to be riots.

Hopefully this one is good fingers crossed.

ERMA-GERD! Who cares. There are better games, better shooters, more competative games. Hell its not even the most played series anymore.

Well, this should be interesting. I've been playing CoD since CoD 2. I want to see how this goes. It couldn't get much worse than Ghosts though.

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 **** over it.


Re-release a game that you can play as they are, right now? lol, just go play those games. MW2 still has thousands of people playing it.

They usually say its a heavily modified version of the same engine. This time around they have had longer to develop it and it is focused on next gen consoles so it makes sense it would be a new engine this time.
