Call of Duty 2 engine?

[ballmode]

I have read that this engine is completely new. Friend keeps saying it is based off Quake 3. Who is right?

If it is based on the quaked 3 engine...we would have great fps. But it's a completely new one (which I don't know, just an assumption)

 

[DeeSlanger]

It looks based off Q3 to me.

 

[ballmode]

The jury is still out on this one.

yeah, i'm on the new engine boat

i would think a GTX wouldnt struggle if it was the quake engine

Its either a new engine or a Doom3 engine, tweaking the Q3 egine will only get you so far, in fact most of the code I believe is written for DX7 or early 8. It would be almost impossible to get it to look like that. Also I think depending on the deal they have they can only tweak it so much or they get Id cops on their door step.

Why would Id care what the developer changes with the source code after they purchase a license for it?

exactly....unless when they bought the license, ID had specified that they are not allowed to change an amount of it or something...

If It's the Q3 engine, my original Radeon should be running it fine...

It's based on Quake 3 engine or atleast that's my opinion Just highly modified.
A quick question: Was CoD1 OpenGL game? 'Cause CoD2 looks like it isn't because there is a file named like this : gfx_d3d_x86_s.dll

They wouldn't, Topweasel just has no idea wth he's talking about. Carmack would be the last person on Earth to do something like that, it's against the hacker ethic.

new engine

Well, I think that settles it. It's a new engine. LOL.

New Direct3D9/7 engine with similar Quake 3 commands to remain compatible with CoD commands. Quake 3 is not D3D9.

If it was Quake3 it would be all dark, crappy, and go straight to the bargain bin.

alot of games that are good are based off the quake 3 engine.
