Is battlefield 1942 based on the quake 3 engine?

[human2k]

Or did the EA programmers code it from scratch?

No, it's the Refractor2 engine ... but I don't know who created ... maybe it was DICE.

 

[GTaudiophile]

No. Pretty sure DICE created it from scratch.

[Electrode]

RTCW used Q3

Are you sure? I thought it was a modified Q3 engine.

No way...jsut playing the game, you can tell that it isn't the q3 engine. I am pretty sure it is a home brewed engine.

no part of the Q3 engine powers BF1942..

MOHAA does use the Q3 engine though..

bf1942 desert combat > bf 1942 > mohaa > mohaa exp

I can completely understand wanting a second (or third or fourth) opinion, so I don't blame you for starting this thread, but I did answer this question back in this thread, which you also started.

bf = d3d
q3 = ogl
bf != q3

 

[hdeck]

cs > all

*edit* rofl, EA Programmers

 

[Actaeon]

RTCW = Quake 3
MoHAA = Quake 3
BF1942 = Its own engine

No way they are nearly the same engine, Quake 3 runs much smoother. The "feel" on both games are completely different. The animation is much smoother on Q3 as well.
