Its most likely Unreal Engine 2.5 because that is what Splinter Cell was run on as mentioned above. Epic isn't going to waste their time unless they can use their new features in Unreal engine 3.5 and for anyone to think that Epic doesn't know how to code their own engine is idiotic. They do Unreal Engine twice as good as anyone else. No game using Unreal Engine will come close to Gears 3. Mass Effect 3 may be the only one in the ballpark.
