Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be using the same Game Engine

Hoping that Modern Warfare 3 will be a step forward? Sorry to let you down. Infinity Ward‘s Creative Strategist Robert Bowling revealed that the game will be built using the same engine as MW2, since the developers view the idea of creating a new engine as “counter-productive. That means it's safe to say that Battlefield 3 will take the point in graphics. We probably won't see a new game engine for a little while.

meh. Battlefield 3 is where the fun is. Forget this CoD crap.

Blad3star4748d ago

I hope that after BlackOps people have seen how much of a rehash COD is now.

Black Ops was not a bad came but no where near worth $60.

Warprincess1164748d ago

Um... Ever heard of the saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

ProjectNaTL4748d ago

Warprincess, it actually is broke. Hit detection and power still blows.

sdtarm4748d ago

Do you mean the same engine that is based on a quake engine from like 4~ years ago?

GTFO the whole game sucks

BattleAxe4748d ago

Prequil + Old Game Engine = Crap

Danielmccue4748d ago

My current play time is around 4 days. i'd say i got my moneys worth out of it.

Kleptic4748d ago

sdtarm...

it has some base code from Quake III...that is almost 12 years old...Cod4's variation of the engine is what dropped 4 years ago, which was significantly better than any past CoD offerings...but the engine hasn't changed much since...

AAACE54748d ago

You can bash CoD all you want, but despite its flaws, it is the closest to what gamers want to play!

Most shooter gamers prefer stuff they can relate to, such as known stuff like military current and past gear and stories based on real war events!

So while games like Halo and Killzone sell well, people like me aren't into the futuristic nerd dreams of those games!Not to mention the gameplay of other games like Halo and Killzone don't excite much!

When i'm playing CoD (even though i'm playing with unknown @ssholes) I feel like I am part of a team! I feel like I have to get somewhere and help out... Even gets my heartbeat raised a little at times! I don't feel any of that with other shooters! It feels more like i'm just wasting time.

Rainbow Six Vegas had that same effect on me, which is why I can't wait for another one of those to come out with better graphics and controls. But until then... I'll be posted up playing whatever Cod comes out. Hopefully Battlefield 3 can distract me, because I hsted the Bad Company games.

Yea i gotta agree. @twisty

I have played a great deal of COD since the first MW and this game is as far from team oriented as it gets.

Actually this is probably the most Lone Wolf accessible FPS on the market.

SonyPS3604748d ago (Edited 4748d ago )

@Warprincess116

So you'll buy more of the same rather than something new?

I'd say it's your money that's being wasted, but it's people like you who keep these guys in profit and starting dlc-pricing trends, not to mention the higher retail prices.

You'd think with all of the millions they made they'd be putting it into some new tech, but it looks like they'd rather hold onto the cash and just milk more money, which people like you will gladly give them.

P.S. Battlefield games are just plain better online.

firefoxprime4747d ago

Better watch yourself Activision...people are becoming less and less stupid by the year. We're not putting up with your weak sequels anymore.

X-DominusRebellis-X4747d ago

Sorry what? Modern Warfare 3? Same engine? Same crap with nothing new? Sorry, I was too busy getting excited over BC3 :P

badz1494748d ago

can see this coming from miles away! this engine will be used until next PS and XBox are announced!

tmoss7264748d ago

Nah till people stop buying the game I bet.

mac_sparrow4748d ago

I agree with Tmoss, the only way you're going to be served up a better game is by sending them the message that we've eaten this dish before, we want something better; and that needs to be done with your wallets.

Personally I'm not a fan of CoD,and I do believe they need a new engine to stay relevant; but look at it from their side.

Should we create a new engine and increase our workload and production time by a huge margin? Well, we still sold millions the last time we didn't bother, so even if we sell half that it still makes more business sense than investing in a new engine.

Don't agree with the outlook but there it is.

darksied4747d ago

@mac_sparrow

Who is sending them a message? The thousand or so of us who understand the argument here, or the millions who do not go to these sites and don't understand the problem. They will throw down $60+ dollars just because it says CoD on the front. New engine? Better graphics? That doesn't matter to them, only the fact that it's a Call of Duty game. It's become like the Apple thing, where people will buy it up regardless of how many (few) people are complaining that it's not that new or great.

JUDALATION4748d ago

Whats even worse... Is that the code that call of duty uses in all its engines are super easy to crack.... so dont be suprised it two weeks in you are being shot by a pistol shooting out rockets or a single fire that has smg fire rate after the hackers get their hands on this 10 year old code... Heck they can just transfer their mw2 cheats to MW3 on day one!

Scary694747d ago

@ Kon

Could not have said it better, would not be buying a COD but will see what BF has to offer as the release date gets closer.

SignifiedSix4747d ago

Yep, no more COD garbage for me anymore.. I'll be using up all my free time on the god of FPS shooters... Battlefield 3! :D

Shadow04747d ago

I'm not buying another CoD game for a long time.

Dart894748d ago

Only people who have thier heads up high in the sky would think that IW would use a new engine.Either way the engine looks outdated.So roll on out BF3 with you're superb graphics.

Ducky4748d ago (Edited 4748d ago )

For a game running at 60fps, MW2 looked quite good.

BattleAxe4748d ago

It certainly looked better than Black ops.

Kleptic4748d ago

I wouldn't say it 'looked better'...or at least on any technical level...but MW2 definitely ran better in every conceivable way...blops was trash at release, and still is...

hennessey864748d ago

will have great graphics, but it remains to be seen what it will look like on consoles. cod will run at 60 fps and hopefully will be free of all the shiity bugs that have ruined the last couple of cod games

MRMagoo1234748d ago

There is no way on earth it will have no bugs there will be loads of them same as all the others itll be a glitch fest for months then when they fix those ones new ones will be found.

Zydake4747d ago

Yeah I am why go on an article about a game series you dislike posting negative comments its stupid and not needed

PygmelionHunter4748d ago

"Hoping that Modern Warfare 3 will be a step forward? Sorry to let you down. Infinity Ward‘s Creative Strategist Robert Bowling revealed that the game will be built using the same engine as MW2"

I know this won't happen but, you could still make the best shooter ever on that engine and people would still bitch about it looking similar to past COD games, graphics are not everything. Besides what's with the BF3 video? Did the writer/uploader wait for news like this to be revealed to bash COD and say that BF3 will be better?

ProjectNaTL4748d ago

I hate Battlefield. I'm a CoD "fanboy," as some call it. I only played BFBC1, and nothing after. I've played from CoD 4 til now, CoD 7. I just put it as a preview of the graphic engine, I have now removed it.

gamingdroid4748d ago

I felt like I wasted my money on Battlefield 2 and regretted that purchase. However, I can't wait for MW3!

Bring it on!

mac_sparrow4748d ago

true, graphics aren't everything, but a new engine could be built from the ground up to allow them to achieve new aspects in their game. For example, enhanced physics, destructible scenery etc.

Graphics aren't everything, but engines aren't just graphics.

madjedi4748d ago (Edited 4748d ago )

" I know this won't happen but, you could still make the best shooter ever on that engine and people would still bitch about it looking similar to past COD games, graphics are not everything."

Any developer, cod related under activision, isn't going to make the best shooter ever on this engine period, part of the reason the engine is flat out too damn old.

The other part is neither the remainder of infinity ward or treyarc as a whole is ether talented enough or allowed to make a game remotely close to the best shooter of all time.

For fairness sake, 3rd part not every thinks cod's play style is that good.

Both mw2 and blops had problems badly, mw2 broken overpowered perks and glitches and blops was just broken.

As much as i hate the halo series, i'll bet $100 that bungie could make a cod game with more quality than the last 2 or 3 cod games combined in their sleep.

Every other fps dev is using either a brand new engine or is wiping it's ass with cod's sub hd resolution visuals with 60 fps with the same completely static backgrounds.

Better visuals, better physics, destruction, better ai, larger environments ect cod has none of these, which is why it's irrelevant in every area of moving the genre forward as a whole, but it sells like crazy.

Almost every other major shooter, brings more to the table with their latest offerings than the cod series does, cod hasn't really evolved much to me, from when it was called medal of honor yrs ago on pc.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

melons6d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac6d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-235d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher21d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris21d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera20d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii20d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts20d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX20d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Why just why. cod up in smoke

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

MW3 missed its easiest opportunity to give us some of the best Call of Duty maps ever made

From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
