I was mocking Call of Duty for still using the same engine on next gen, then this leaked before E3 and it came out that it was using the Half-Life 2 Source engine so I was thinking, what in the fuck? But it turns out that Infinity Ward had wizards working there and they got moved onto Respawn as well, because it looks fucking gorgeous.
I forgot that the current Call of Duty engine was a heavily modified Quake 3 engine fiddled about with by the same guys. Putting CoD Ghosts footage and this side-by-side makes me think that Activision really shouldn't have fucked these guys around.
