Why did Treyarch....

Why did treyarch use the cod 4 engine to build black ops? .....i recently looked up the engine they used and now it all makes sense ..the graphics, the gameplay, the sound are all worse than that of MW2 and to top it all off they used the older engine to build the game even though at the time the new IW 4 engine was out :x...now i'm stuck with this purchase till Bc3 comes out

Probably for a faster development time. Building a new engine would have taken time, something Activision doesn't like.

To save time and money (treyarch didnt make the choice, activision did)

No they didn't. WaW used the IW3 engine and MW2 used IW4. Black Ops used a lightly modified IW3 eninge.

They still have code from Quake 2 in there somewhere. I can't believe they haven't just built a new engine yet.

And now they are using the MW2 engine for MW3...which I guess means they are using the WaW engine for MW3. Wow

A new engine takes lots of time and money $$$LustForSoul

they didnt activision made them, go look it up

i got my fingers crossed they can get out of the cod thing, their a good developer getting screwed over, their still so far the onl dev in my eyes that made a good movie game(spider man 2)

Waste time and money working on a new engine when you can churn out the same game and still make a billion dollars week 1?

Even though black ops is using the same engine as cod4, cod4 still looks and runs quite a bit better imo. im really looking forward to what the old IW guys are doing over at Respawn.

They had to, they said there was no way they could use the newer MW2 engine and still include theater mode, so i wonder how many people will be disapointed when MW3 uses the newer engine and does not have theater mode.
