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.

Goth_Wolf Haha such hypocrisy we aren't going to talk about our engine because we're shipping a game then the next thing we do is talk about our engine and the things we added to it haha /facepalm


they are talking about how in the future they will not be talking about the engine and gave us a reason why they didnt in the past.


Kind of redundant when right before this was released this they said they weren't going to at all = still hypocrisy

I Know this is something other , but i wanna ask:
DID I GOT IN THE DASHBOARD BETA?
Xbox LIVE Update Program - Fall 2011

We appreciate your interest and support in helping us to test out the latest updates. This is an important update as we continually strive to improve our products and we could not do so without the help of our great Xbox community.

When do I Register My Console(s):

This year we have a new model for console registration so you were not asked to manually provide it during initial registration (as was the case in previous programs). We will provide details on the new process via this portal as soon as we are ready to start having consoles registered

What to Expect:

As part of this program, an update will be pushed out to your registered console(s) that will include select dashboard features including:

New Metro design with integrated Kinect voice and gesture controls
Beacons
Facebook Sharing
Cloud Storage for Game Saves and Xbox LIVE Profile
Other features and entertainment partner apps may also come into view during the program period and will be messaged via this portal.

Administrative Note: If you were in previous programs you will notice a few changes on the navigation available on our Connect Site. Same basic structure, but primary navigation is available by clicking on Xbox LIVE Update Home link on the upper left-hand navigation of this page. At the bottom of that page you will find links to all relevant program information.

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.

COD is a fun game, but I like BF too, and yet even after I posted this some **** just said BF sucks and MW3 was gonna win. I could care less if one game sells more than another game. Who the **** cares if you think that one game is better. If i'm gonna buy a car with hard earned money I'm not gonna go around after buying it and say oh my car is better yours sucks ****. Go around saying that in real life cuz I can assure you if you said that to me i'd beat the living **** out of the kid that said that to me. Just really shut up about your stupid **** opinion, if I wanted it I'd ask for it, no one wants you to spam the **** forums saying how your little group of fanboys is better cuz no one gives a ****. And don't even say I'm a fanboy, cuz I know someones gonna try, cuz guess what? I'm not I own MW2 and BC2 and I'm getting both MW3 and BF3 so don't try to influence me with your stupid raging comments that no one gives a crap about. As i said before: SHUT UP IF I WANTED YOUR OPINION ID ASK FOR IT
I'll clear this all up YOU PEOPLE NEED TO STOP HATING EACH OTHER. The 2 games are completely different. If you want a run and gun, listen to lil kids cry play CoD. You want strategic mature audience play BF. this is it two different games stop complaining about this stupid shit.

also that engine is so outdated it sad :(

Nicasus I don't care what engine they use or how they call it, as long as the game looks good. MW2 looked good, MW3 will look even better.

Well , they said that the engine has been upgraded ( More details added , new models , better verticality , better effects) But i have seen gameplay from XP and as far as i know , it looks exactly like MW3 . (Yes , i've seen more detail nd stuff but still)
NO , I'm not being critical/.
Yeah, obviously MW3 is gunna look like MW3...

Well children, the point is COD was never known do having beatiful breathe taking graphics. It was known for it's fun, fast paced, smooth gameplay.
