People trashed COD devs for reusing their last gen engine and upgrading it, instead of working from scratch. let's see how PS fans react to this news now that its their favorite developer doing it.

CoDs engine is based on the id tech 3, which was used on a game released in 1999. People were attempting to compare this to Frostbite 3 and Battlefield 4.

They also claimed the next gen CoD engine was a new engine.

The differences here are gigantic.

I think this can't stand as it is.

Of course engines get worked on. Every "new" engine has pieces of code from old engines, no one builds an engine totally new. And even those devs who use "old" engines have done many code-alterations so that it fits to new systems. Of course also ND will have to do changes on the engine, everything else would just be wrong.

How much of the code ND or CoD-engine-makers will do or have done we will never know.
