Something I've noticed in alot of games, particulary FPS like CoD

Theres a small screen whenever you start up the disc that says "Uses technology developed by ID" or whatever. Anyone know what ID made that they use?

and thats why people who can program a decent gaming engine end up rich :)

CoD uses a modified version of the Quake 3 engine, and I believe it still actually does.

Basically ID is, while not as successful as Epic, an Engine developer. They create an engine to license to other devs, and usually showcase it with an extremely good looking game, so while you may not have seen ID make much since Doom 3, they have been making money off of licensing the engine. You'll see it again with the release of the new game Rage.

Crytek is also trying to get into this business with CryEngine3. A lot of what they have showcased is them actually building something on PC, and copy pasting to the PS3 and having it work properly which should make it extremely appealing to 3rd party devs.

As for now though 99% of multiplatform games (running on 3rd party engines) seem to be running off Unreal Engine 3 because it's very easy to use, and saves devs years of development time to make games that look great like ME2, or Batman AA.

kinda funny considering that Quake 3 engine was based off Quake 2 engine which was based off of Quake 1 which was based off of Doom which was based off of Wolf3d... all the way back in 1992. I am sure the COD engine is radically different then the original Quake 3 engine. I wonder if they will use newer tech for the new respawn studio game?Midnightshade29

Quake 1 engine wasn't based off Doom engine, know your facts before you post :x
