Infinity Ward Need A New Engine For COD

Gamers Outlook "When Modern Warfare 2 was being released Infinity Award, were quick to point out the new features of their IW 4 engine. When Modern Warfare 2 was realeased however we saw very little imporvement between graphics and AI of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Black Ops was only marginally better in gameplay changes and eniviroment textures and its clear the engine is showing its age. Above is a leaked screenshot of Modern Warfare 3."

The optimization of COD engine is effective but is still very lazy in terms of pure sensations to the player.
With COD 4 Infinity Ward have done all the work, the engine was runing solid, the mechanics have maybe been the more significant advancement for COD since 2007 in its gameplay but technically there's no significant advancement in terms of graphics or physics.
The game have reached a popularity worldwide that shows that people are waiting more and more for next episodes.
On this generation consoles it seems that the game will stay the same.
The new engine will be build for next gen i think or maybe new gen of PC, when you see Battlefield runing on a new PC you can understand that the new compettor have worked on its new baby.
It's now to activison to react, when we know that their player base for COD is on consoles, i don't see them making a move to change the engine on this generation.

Why would they need a new engine? The cod4 engine is amazing. I'll dropshot all yo a55es

I'll dropshot all yo a55es

now you know why

jjohan354748d ago

I can't even get passed their first three sentences... typos, spelling errors, and grammatical mistakes.

ofx3604748d ago (Edited 4748d ago )

I don't think they need a new engine.

First of all, i don't think people realize that Cod is running twice the game than most other games out there. That includes KZ3 and Gears of War3. Those games run at 30fps while Cod runs at 60fps. That's an achievement right there.

Second, does MW2 really look THAT bad? Really? I thought it looked just fine. Black Ops looked a little worse, but that's because they were using an older version of the MW2 engine for some reason. But if they can slightly improve the visuals from MW2 to MW3, i'll be happy. Especially since extra visual effects aren't necessarily the most important thing in a game.

Third and lastly, just because they don't have a new engine doesn't mean they can't add new features like destruction, better AI, and such into their game. IW can code their engine however they want. I'd rather them work on incremental features and improve the gameplay and work on better maps and modes, than to waste time trying to make cool visuals.

People seem to think that if we get cool visuals that we'll get a better or "fresher" game...that's not the case. You need gameplay changes to make a game new and exciting; and a new engine doesn't always equal better gameplay.

Gameplay > Visuals.

"The optimization of COD engine is effective"

black ops has so many bugs...

DOMination4747d ago

It's not the cod engine it's actually Id tech4 that powered Doom 3 in like, 1983

There is Infinity Ward
But There is no Infinity Ward anymore

There will be CoD
But There will not be CoD anymore

They are finished.
All hopes gone, with the wind. oh i mean West.

Oldman1004748d ago

Adopting id tech 5 would be ideal.

Sevir044748d ago

They need to scrap the franchise and move the hell on! -_-

JLeVRT4747d ago

PSN is coming back!!!

Oh, I mean, sure but they probably just do a minor update to get the graphics a bit better than MW2. Nothing drastic, they live off the fact that COD is 60fps

Jezuz4748d ago

Why do i get disagrees ? It's not as if I like COD but comparing COD to PSN ? Seriously ?

ALFAxD_CENTAURO4748d ago (Edited 4748d ago )

They really need a new Engine, to have feel of a fresh game and not rehashed like every year.

jdrman20074747d ago

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

melons32d 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.

Gridknac32d 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.

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

Christopher47d 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_vulgaris47d 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”.

OtterX46d ago (Edited 46d 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.

Palitera46d ago

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

fsfsxii46d ago

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

crazyCoconuts46d 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

OtterX46d 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

Knightofelemia46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos46d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast46d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.
