I really hope it's a new engine and not just a slightly improved version...

If it was slightly improved they wouldn't exactly be calling it "next-generation" would they?

I just wonder if they'll be able to maintain the 60FPS on current-gen....

Well it will be a cross-gen game so it isn't exactly likely that Activision will put in very much effort for the next-gen version when they could just improve the current gen engine slightly and slap a new name on it.

That's not gonna pass when we have games like Battlefield 4 coming at the end of the year. Their new engine will at least match the best looking current-gen FPS. This new game also gives them the perfect time to do it. New characters, new story, and probably even a new developer.(I heard Neversoft was making this one)

I'm fairly certain it'll be a brand new engine. Activision even demoed their proprietary engine at GDC. They wouldn't just put that engine to waste by doing another iteration on the Quake 3 engine.

Honestly though, I don't expect the graphics on current gen consoles to improve much even with a newer engine. COD will always prefer 60 FPS over good graphics. The only reason BF and Crysis can have such good console graphics is because they run at 30 FPS. COD will always need to run at 60 FPS to keep it's gameplay that everyone is hooked on. A new engine will help a lot in getting rid of the many gameplay issues that pop up in MP in regards to character movement and intrinsic lag in the game.

The place where this game could really shine is on next gen platforms though. I think it has the chance to look amazing and play at 60 FPS on next gen platforms.
