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.

Rozy Battlefield 3 is a wanna be CoD and always will be. Modern Warfare 3 FTW!

Battlefield came out first....

ODSTPosted:

how come every company that comes out with a new game uses a new engine? well clearly sledgehammer has no idea why. (*cough, cough* improvements and updates)

'cut n paste' indeed, this guy knows that BF3's engine is by far superior than CoD's engine. i'm sorry, but it does blow that they are milking CoD for money

Well BF3's is a Lambo (Or Mustang)

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.
to Kikotron.
cod gets a large QUANTITY of sales because its QUALITY is better than bf. quality=quantity. if bf was as good as people say it is it would sell more than cod so stfu and wait till mw3 breaks sale records for the 3rd year in a row.
No matter what you think, BF3 will NEVER sell as much as MW3, the voice of BF3 was excited that they were compared to MW3. I'm getting MW3 and BF3 and to the first guy, you're right.

I'm seriously sick and tired with everyone comparing the two games. 'Ohhhhhh they're practically the same so we should compare them!!!' They're not practically the same, and yet they're still a bunch of dumbasses who think that they are. Why don't you stfu and STOP COMPARING them! Jesus Christ its all I see on this forum ohhh battlefield sucks, or yeah MW3 is gonna get its **** kicked. Heres a hint NO ONE CARES. I'm sick and tired of seeing all these fanboys cussing out other fanboys. Heres a hint: Play your game and leave the other people to play their game. Its a matter of opinion. Posting MW3 or BF3 would be liking going to church and saying abortion or no abortion? Its stupid and its really annoying seeing it. Play your game and stop talking trash on others, I know i'm not the only one who thinks this. JUST STOP PLEASE.

CoD sells more because of just **** stupid sheeple who can't think for themselves and just get what they're friends are playing, and don't appreciate games for their actual quality.


Correction: COD sales because its a fun game. Why do people always hate on COD. COD started just like any other game..no fan base. It built its fan based up and kept it.

So Essentially they are saying they are not going all out and making a better engine because this one is easier and less hassle to use?

I'm afraid to break it to you Glen,
but without compromise those amazing intuitive and ground breaking movies and games that you remember till the day you die will never made.

Technology doesn't change in small baby steps in goes in bounds.

How do you presume this? You're an idiot.

TacoElite CoD is a pick up and play game. Battlefield isnt. It takes time to get used to BF. Plus, battlefield has dinosaurs.


Bro are dumb as shit rite now. You just cant pick up
COD and be good at. It takes time to be "good" at something. That goes with any video game
