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.

"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.

A complete non cod fanboy here.

It's a new engine, it's easy as hell to see. It's a different company, they're going to want to make sure that they make the best call of duty's, and now is the best time to start, just before sales start seriously dropping.

ljallen Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they say this about the last 3 CoDs and instead of a new engine they just polished it then said it was new.

I believe it will be the same engine, with a few fixes and a few changes, and a little bit of add-ons.


I do too. But I could be wrong. Hopefully they will actually use a new engine this time around.

Why does everyone always have a negative response. Give them there dues, For god sake its there first cod title developed by there self. They may have or may not of created a new engine but what does it matter anyway. Most of the people complaining saying they have said it in the past. Will buy the game most likely anyway.

Wavves Can't wait for this game! Mechs, energy guns, future, cool looking helmets, super jumping abilities...

....oh wait, I already have Titanfall.


Why are you comparing the game to Titanfall? There is a lot of differences between them. I am a fan of Titanfall and CoD (not all, only CoD3,4,5 and 6).
