Modern Warfare 3′s engine is "a Porsche" Critics "Have No Idea"

4.5
Sledgehammer Games general manager Glen Schofield has responded again to criticism of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3′s ageing engine. “I’ve worked on a lot of engines over my lifetime and spent a lot of time putting graphics in to them and this thing is a Porsche,” Schofield told CVG.

“And what I mean by that is that it is stream-lined, everything in it is perfectly freaking clean. You can tell it’s been worked on for years. It’s easy to upgrade.

“We worked with engines before that are like fucking spaghetti. You can’t work on a part and put it back in without messing with everything else.

“I’ve said this before – I’m not shipping an engine, I’m shipping a game. So that’s why I’m going to talk about the game. You can talk about your engine all you want. It’s not fun.”

Schofield said that despite utilising the same engine, the upgradable nature of the tech means Modern Warfare 3′s levels are much bigger, and have greater verticality, than Modern warfare 2′s – on top of graphical improvements.

“If you put Modern Warfare 2 next to Modern Warfare 3 you would see a huge difference. Look at all the character models, look at all the gun models, look at the reflections, look at the water.

“There is so much that we’ve added, so when someone says ‘cut and paste’, I don’t even want to talk to them because they don’t know. They just don’t know. They have no idea.”

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 arrives on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in November.

iAmMasterF CoD4 = 13 million
BF1 = N/A
WAW = 11 million
BF2 = 9 million
MW2 = 20 million
BO = 25 million


MW3 = Predicts 25-30+ million
BF3 = Predicts 10-15+ million

It's just not on it's level.

When is it that fanboys will understand the concept of quality not quantity? -sigh-


Quantity always beats Quality.. what's the point of Quality when no one is playing it?
So you're telling me you'd rather play a game that sells more only because of the name? I'm getting both games but, I'm looking for quality I could care less if the guy next to me buys it. I just want a good game to play.

There never was a BF1, also BF2 came out before CoD4, I believe that you mean to say BFBC2 sold 9 million units.

Their engine has shown us nothing impressive at this point, therefore it falls behind other engines.
CryEngine3 ftw.

He sounds very confident in the graphics in MW3 so saying that i hope the're really good.

I can't wait for this game now. I have a feeling this game is going to be a lot better, then MW2 and hopefully the rest of the call of duty serious.
