Modern Warfare’s Game Engine Took More Than 5 Years to Develop

3.7
The next installment in the long running shooter series, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, is looking to do some different things with the series. One thing that’s also different is a new game engine that really catches the eyes. It looks pretty amazing. It also took a very long time to develop.

We often think and talk about game development in the scope of individual games, usually taking three years or so on average. Most people don’t think about the engine that runs these games, some of which can take equally as long as any single game. And, in Modern Warfare‘s case, even longer. As revealed by the game’s blog, it took just over five years to develop the engine. Not only that, an entirely new Polish studio was set up to assist in its development. You can read all about it here.

Of course, it makes sense that Activision would want to put that amount of time and resources into such an endeavor. Call of Duty is still one of the biggest franchises in the world, which each annual series almost always topping the sales charts, and this engine will most likely be used for many years to come. Hopefully, we’ll also get to see how it looks and runs in-game very soon.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. They are probably referring to the current engine in use for blops 4, which wouldn't be a lie if they have continuously been tweaking and developing it for 5 years. I don't trust anything these guys say. People still believe this shit tho. It's the same every year with cod. Everyone loses their shit and gets so excited but it's always been a let down since black ops 2.


They did say a similar thing last year lol Are we supposed to believe them everytime they say it? Just look at
the history of cod it speaks for itself they must have had some sort of plan for a game if they where building an engine for it.
