Ever since the launch of Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty games have been using the same engine, modified for each new version. That won’t be changing in the immediate future according to Infinity Ward figurehead, Robert Bowling. In a recent tweet, a fan stated that CoD needed a new engine, built from the ground up. This was Bowling’s reply:
“That would be counter productive. An engine takes years and years to develop and get right.”
I don’t want to take his words out of context so to be clear, he doesn’t actually say they’re not in the process of building a new one for the future but based on this quote, I think it’s safe to say that the next Infinity Ward-related Call of Duty project will be running on good ole’ Bessy. Tried, true and old, but reliable.

I’m just wondering if they ever need to change the engine at all? In 10 years time, CoD could still be the same game it’s been since 4, and yet it’s guaranteed to break records that the previous instalment set. CoD is the death of any interest I had in MP online, as so many people play it instead of great games like Bad Company 2.

The engine is absolutely fine, so why change it?

No new engine, no sale from me.
Its getting old and everyone can tell. When BF3 comes along and with Killzone 3 doing the rounds, its only a matter of time before people sit up and realise.

I promised myself I will never buy nor play another Call of Duty game ever again.
I doubt they will anytime soon, but IF they happen to make one with a new engine for multiplayer, I’ll give it another try.
Until then, I’ll be stay away from it.
