Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Uses All-New Engine

We expect to see a lot more about Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare at E3 and during the months ahead, but right now we’ve got some new information and screenshots courtesy of Edge Magazine, which featured the game in its latest issue.

Our main feature for you today will be 9 screenshots, but we also have an interesting detail about the game’s engine. It is entirely new. Rendering, animations, physics, and audio are all based on new systems Sledgehammer has built from scratch. This is quite an unexpected turn, as previous Call of Duty games have used roughly the same engine.

An all-new engine, an emphasized story, and an approach as if the game were a new IP… all of these things lead us to wonder if Advanced Warfare is really going to shake things up for the series.

Enjoy the rest of the screenshots and let us know your thoughts.
