Modern Warfare 3 Moves Beyond MW2 Engine

4.7
Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling insists Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3′s engine is an improvement on Modern Warfare 2′s efforts.“We haven’t gone into detail on the engine yet but we’ve moved beyond the MW2 engine and added a lot of cool stuff for MW3,” Bowling said, responding to questions on Twitter.

Modern Warfare 2 was powered by Infinity Ward’s IW Engine, as were Call of Duty 2, World at War, and Black Ops.

Although the engine has seen numbered revisions, it is yet to see an obvious overhaul, which has drawn criticism.

EcKoxSoldier Well i didn't expect this, there was alot of rumours about them using the MW2 engine so lets see what this game offers now :)


"Beyond the MW2 engine", chances are they're going to do what they have always done to this point which is update and improve IW engine and then implement it in MW3.

This is the same engine used in CoD 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

(5 and 7 used a different version)
MW2 and probably 3 used 4.0

**** finally. Been so damn sick of the same engine being reused since CoD4. It was great when it was new >.>. I REALLY hope that MW3 isn't just another repetitive CoD game... they've honestly been downhill since CoD4. If you honestly don't agree with that, its because you're a little MW2 *** who never experienced the transition from Cod3 to Cod4 now that was a true innovation everything else has been shitty adaptations of a godly game.

People hating on 3arc make me laugh, they prolly still play the game even though they moan all day long about it.

Little fact for all the derps, up till now MW has been using a heavily modified Quake 3 engine. What makes you think they made a new engine so fast? I bet it's going to be a new variation on the old.

At least BO was a clear improvement from CoD4/W@W engine. MW3 will have to be something special to impress.

pitythefool Black ops engine is just the same thing as world at war but modified a little bit.

MW2's engine is way ahead of black ops, so ill be glad if they modify it even more.. Hopefully they can fix the issues of crappy bullet registry.. i got killed far too many times when i was already around corners and stuff

That being said, even if they don't really change it, the graphics from mw2 were great.


Treyarch sucks :P they brought no new innovations to the game except the prone dive haha. (you can argue the point system too, but whatever)


they added theater,customization way beyond the modern warfare series Balance!! which we haven't seen since 4 and various other things that I'm sure wont be in mw3

dont get me wrong i like infinity ward but people give 3arc way to much ****

and because the game is so balanced and slow phased people give s**t to 3arc
