I don't really know what OXM's track record is with rumors like this, I normally don't pay attention to who says what, but I figured this was worth posting. It's also interesting they say it will have Battlefield style destruction. Of course it's all rumors, but speculation is always fun.

Better than quake 3 engine.

Glass Rebel · May 29, 2012

So 2 rumours in one?

Lagspike_exe · May 29, 2012

I bet that Respawn will blow them away graphically.

As much as I love to rag on Call of Duty, this argument sucks. CoD doesn't run on the Quake 3 engine any more than Portal 2 runs on the Quake Engine. (Quake -> GoldSrc -> Source -> Source iterations)

Floex · May 29, 2012

So is the UE4 engine running at 60fps?

Sephiroth503 · May 29, 2012

A new Modern Warfare??? Surely you jest!

mclem · May 29, 2012

Given the normal release schedule of COD titles, that'd be next year's iteration? I don't buy it. Not that soon.

The_Monk · May 29, 2012

That would be really neat.

Horse Armour · May 29, 2012

Doesn't this confirm at least a 3+ year dev cycle as Epic have said no UE4 games will be out in the first 12 months of the next gen consoles release (not sure if they included Wii U in that)?

scitek · May 29, 2012

Would be huge if true, but I like my 200fps on pc

This. Unreal Engine 4 games probably won't appear until at least 2014 at the earliest.

Modern engines can run at basically whatever framerate the developers want them to. It's all a matter of how much you have to give up and how hard things are to optimize.

AzureSkies · May 29, 2012

RUMOR: Modern Warfare 4 not on the Wii U?

Bob White · May 29, 2012

If true, I hope it's still 60 fps. I honestly think dropping down to 30 will make most casuals go "something's off about the new cod games". Funny that stale ass activision is one of the companies I look to to keep 60 fps popular.

StoppedInTracks · May 29, 2012

Looking at popularity of CoD this gen (popularity = sales = money, especially for engine supplier as based on % of money made) Epic will do anything to be the engine supplier for next-gen CoD.

Gravijah · May 29, 2012

Floex said:

all ue4 games are capped at 24 fps for realism.

Nibel · May 29, 2012

CoD = 60 FPS gameplay
UE4 = probably 30 FPS gameplay

I don't believe it

They only way i see this being true is if UE4 runs on xbox360/ps3.

James Woods · May 29, 2012

Another Modern Warfare? As someone that enjoyed MW3 up until

the tower collapse

this shit is played. New era mothefuckers.

Deadly Cyclone · May 29, 2012

Bout time they jump to a new engine. I'm down with this.

EDIT: The plot needs an update though. 3 ended pretty significantly.

Can you give me a theoretical explanation why framerate is engine bound or UE4 30fps bound?

Thanks.

linko9 · May 29, 2012

Wouldn't this mean that MW4 couldn't come out on PS3 and 360? I don't think Activision would throw away that much money.

patapuf · May 29, 2012

i thought UE 4 didn't run on ps360 and that the MW series was done?

rdrr gnr · May 29, 2012

That would be huge for Epic.

Sn4ke_911 · May 29, 2012

No, they will use the same engine as always.

.

Will change in 2-3 years though, but for now PS360 will keep their main target - especially with these sales.

Hamfam · May 29, 2012

So no MW4 on Wii U

tinfoilhatman · May 29, 2012

UE 3.5 confirmed?

They could be developing a 360/PS3 version on the current engine.

DieH@rd · May 29, 2012

No matter what, they need to change engine for nextgen consoles.

Tain · May 29, 2012

If this could push Epic to tailor UE4 more around 60fps games on next gen consoles, hell yeah.

V_Ben · May 29, 2012

I'd love to see them do set pieces on that engine, especially with the fire and spark tech. Crikey.

Darkkn · May 29, 2012

Activision should just develop their own 'Frostbite' engine. They publish enough games that having an badass in-house engine middleware would make sense.

Dunlop · May 29, 2012

HigherLevel said:

MW4 will release next year. Wii-U is confirmed to not be able to run UE4 currently.

Who would this be for?

FoneBone · May 29, 2012

HigherLevel said:

Developing that and a separate next-gen version on a different engine? I couldn't see that making financial sense.

Raide · May 29, 2012

Different engine or not, if it still plays the same as MW3, I won't be buying it. Unfortunately they have to keep the gameplay the same, else the millions of people who buy it every year will be pissed.

Hot Coldman · May 29, 2012

Modern Warfare 4? Nah. They'll just try and launch a brand new CoD series to run alongside Black Ops. It'll probably involve, er, modern warfare, but Captain Price et al ain't returning any time soon.

Game2Death · May 29, 2012

I agreeing with some posts in here..

Need to be 60FPS and I hope they don't forget what makes their gamplay smoother than others..
And really they need something new besides "Modern Warfare 4", far future warfare, sifi warfare, I don't care. Just no more modern...

Sojgat · May 29, 2012

HigherLevel said:

Exactly, and also for the Wii U of course. They have to upgrade at some point and Activision won't want to miss out on that 360/PS3 install base. Think of it as the equivalent of what the Wii versions are now

Edit: Also I imagine they could use the PS4/Xbox Whateverthefucktheycallit versions in all the advertising.

Edit: Modern W4rfare?

There wasn't confirmation of anything.

Xbox 720 and PS4?

Thanks.

So you are assuming that UE4 will be running at more than 30FPS? That engine that brings Samaritan to shame when Epic executives are believed?

You know, I don't know what all the other consoles will bring to the table, but there weren't many 60 FPS UE3 games on consoles; Mortal Kombat is the only one I can think of right now. Why should this change with the next one?

GQman2121 · May 29, 2012

This is absurd. There's no way this would ever happen. Call of Duty is all about making crazy money. They have an engine already in place. Why go out and license something that most won't even notice and are going to buy anyway? Do you really need a new engine to achieve what they churn out every 12 months?

CrazedProfessional · May 29, 2012

I'm starting to think all these rumors are from Mircosoft, the timing is all too suspicious.

"WII-U WILL NOT RUN UE4 BUT YOU CAN GET COD WITH UE4 ON YOUR NEXT XBOX"

Or it could just be the lovely folks who are games journalists.

Sapphire Dreams · May 29, 2012

MW4? Where would they take the story
Next? They've already done world war 3.

However it would awesome if we saw the amazing graphics offer UE4 to run at 60 FPS.

StuBurns · May 29, 2012

I seriously doubt it. That would mean no PS3 SKU, no 360 SKU, no Wii SKU, no WiiU SKU.

this.

EA did it, Capcom did it, Rockstar did it, Square is trying... Activision needs to step their game up!

MRORANGE · May 29, 2012

Modern Warfare needs to go go back to the 80's / 90's so many Eastern Europe conflict's during that time.

Demoncarnotaur · May 29, 2012

This would be huge, and the move I have been waiting for from CoD Since MW.

But fuck me, MW4? Just call it CoD5, go for the oh shit its new new feeling, not another MW.

If I ever post something in Japanese which I don't understand, please BAN me.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
