Black Ops 2 Engine Upgrades Include "More Destruction", "Better Lighting"
Speaking with OXM, Bunting explained that ”lighting is the first area of emphasis,” when it comes to engine upgrades. He added, “lighting is everything, lighting is what brings the room together, so to speak.” Thanks to the integration of lighting effects like high dynamic range lighting, bounce lighting and ambient occlusion techniques, players can expect much more immersive environments in Black Ops II.
On the other hand, Bunting added, “we also have the ability to [add] shadows within shadows which is a really important part of getting a photorealistic look to things.” This also applies to the weapon models, which Bunting explains will be much more pleasurable to look at this time around. ”All our weapon shaders have been completely overhauled, so you can get a lot more of that natural reflective surface,” he mentioned.
Fans can also expect much more detailed environments, including areas that are “off-map.” Bunting details improvements Treyarch has made in this regard, stating, ”we’ve optimised our pipelines, optimised our tools so we can just get a lot more out of the scene than we were able to in the past.” Also, the addition of reveal mapping will allow textures to blend much more convincingly.
Improvements in the department of destruction have also been made as Bunting stated that we will see ”more destruction than we’ve ever had before.” Though we are not sure to what extent, exactly, this fact is intriguing considering it could possibly play a role in the gameplay, especially when it comes to multiplayer. Will players be able to destroy walls and structures, or will it be more of a visual thing?

AntIt did happen in Black Ops.Whats_Up_Mw2 I hope they have more realistic ragdolls ex. If a grenade rolls under you you lose your legs. They had this in WaW.
Never happened in Black Ops so I don't think it's gonna make a return.
It was only in Campaign and Zombies.
I don't know why they took it outta multiplayer.

Half of you say wow this game will suck, but will still buy it no matter what... It's what everyone does. I am thinking with the lighting they will try to copy or come close to copying the lighting effects in Battlefield 3. I am looking forward to what Zombies will be, a lot of people have been suggesting aliens as a new thing and since this is in the future :O There might be Aliens.....

All I can say, this is could be ridiculously good or terribly bad. Modern Warfare 3 took the old engine of MW2 and said "Hey lets make another game with this." That didn't work out very well. But a new engine = A completely new game with the fact that this storyline is taken in the late 2000's.7
Just my guess.
Just my guess.
