Originally by IGN. With a new installment of Call of Duty coming out each year, the franchise has attracted its fair share of critics. Many of the most vocal accuse each game of simply repeating the formula of its predecessor, "cutting and pasting" the previous version and making only small changes. According to Sledgehammer Games general manager Glen Schofield, this isn't the case. In a new interview with CVG, Schofield asserts that this couldn't be further from the truth. "If you put Modern Warfare 2 next to Modern Warfare 3 you would see a huge difference," he said. "Look at all the character models, look at all the gun models, look at the reflections, look at the water. There is so much that we've added, so when someone says 'cut and paste', I don't even want to talk to them because they don't know. They just don't know. They have no idea." Schofield added that the engine is "a Porsche," calling it more impressive than engines he's worked with previously. "I've worked on a lot of engines over my lifetime and spent a lot of time putting graphics in to them and this thing is Porsche," he said, "and what I mean by that is that it is stream-lined, everything in it is perfectly freaking clean. You can tell it's been worked on for years. It's easy to upgrade." "On top of that you have what we added to the audio engine. Then there's a lot of stuff under the hood. People don't think about this but when you make your tools better and you can iterate twice as many times, you make the game better." Still, he said that gameplay is the primary focus, not just graphics. "I've said this before - I'm not shipping an engine, I'm shipping a game. So that's why I'm going to talk about the game. You can talk about your engine all you want. It's not fun." Schofield also discussed game's lack of an open beta, saying that Call of Duty XP sufficed since so many players were able to try out the game. "This game is so big between the campaign, the Spec-Ops and the multiplayer, there was so much work to do that I don't know whether [a beta] hit anyone's mind or not," he said. "We had XP and XP was in itself a way for 1,000s of people to play the game and for us to look over their shoulder and see how they were doing and how they liked it and that was really good."

When people say that, I don't believe they are talking about the graphics, but rather gameplay/story/etc.

Me too. I just found it interesting that CoD finally changed their engine.

First off, people are buying these games for the online, not the "character models". Second, different gun models are one of the things people who dont like this game have been agreeing to as well. Different guns, but same sh**. Reflections, I dont even know what hes talking about, are there mirrors or something in the maps? Fourth, well, this one has me. Im probably going to buy MW3 after all just to look at the water, cus apparently its really good. Some random dude telling me this isnt changing anything. Im buying BF3 but not MW3 as a statement, and some developer isnt changin my mind.

I think that by reflections, he meant that you actually show up in water now... xD Like that makes any difference.

No. He's speaking CoD. The language of the n00b.

I've hated on CoD/Activision/Bobby Kotick as much as the next man... but hypocritically - I will still be buying CoD (when I see it cheap). Despite everything that's bad about having such a dominant IP/Publisher in the games industry.... at it's core - CoD games are still immensely playable FPS's

I'm with you on that Macnme. It's playable. It's fun. I've never said it wasn't. Ever. I just personally like Battlefield better.

I have my doubts. He seems to be mainly focusing on the game's graphics, and not what actually matters in the end. If you cover a splintery, wooden fence in a fresh coat of paint, it doesnt fix the quality of the fence, it just makes it look better on the surface. To be honest, BF3 seems to have them beaten in gameplay, having shown all 9 maps included in the game, plus vehicle and on foot gameplay, and a smash hit beta. MW3 wouldnt even had that even in los angeles if it wasnt for the massive income due to the many teenagers wasting their money on a 9 month early preorder. 9I have a friend that did this) I guess we will just have to see when both are out and running for a month in December.
