Someone snipe the ceo activision in head ahhhh activision will not get my respect unless they make new engine seriously!!
Crytek always updates their engine they are now making polygons render in real time seriously
Ubisoft updates theirs too, far cry 3 looks revolutionary
Square enix does too,
Kanomi does it. and dam they not only update their engine but they do it with passion
Ea studios can be cheap skates but they udate their engine based on what's trendy and how their investment shares are.
Bethesda finally updated their engine was about to lose hope with them constant (fall-out) pump outs.
Gearbox studios runs their engines from unreal engine so even tho it's open sourced they are very creative seriously pushing envolope.
Epic studios update their engines but strange say that when game always looks same on all platforms in last 5 years.
Only capcom and activision never really update their engines they pump same crap over and over and over but whileAll of Infinity Ward'sCall of Dutygames utilize the ((((id tech 3 quake 3 arenaengine)))) it will never be updated just polished to consumer standards so sad thing is while there are great developers out there as 3rd partys it's the licensing agreement that destroys what one can do in gaming industry.
Activision in theory doesn't even own gaming engine it just got lucky one day and found free source code and wallah the cod franchise was reborn,
cod 1 2 3 were fine they didn't exacerbate whole entire franchise.
While inifinity ward may be good developer they have no right over activisions engine just creative freedom, they're passionate team but can only work with what they have as each studio uses a developer kit under activisions rules and test living hell outta it nothing really changes over years but just like bungie studios they to are creative but they use microsoft studios library code and snippets and paste it on engine nothing changes just to get your dollar.
I did enjoy modern warfare 3 very much it's mutli player felt worse then moving beached whale i don't blame (iw) one bit i blame activision for ruining gaming industry with same crap. inovation is only limited if one runs out of ideas and those ideas are when you have engine aging.
