Warzone will not have the same game engine as Black Ops...

Call of Duty: War Zone is one of the most popular call of Duty Title of all time. The free-to-play aspect and addicting gameplay are just a few of the reasons it has been blown up since March. Because of its success, Activision has announced that it will live on from year to year with each new series entry. This includes this year Black Ops Cold Warwho will see War zone integrate sometime in December. However, one of the remaining questions about this integration concerns the engine. War zone works with a different game engine than Cold War and according to Activision it will stay that way.

War zone stay on the same engine despite everything Black Ops Cold War Integration

For those who don’t know War zone was built on the Modern Warfare Infinity Ward engine. While it’s not a big deal when it comes to all of the gameplay, there are subtle nuisances when it comes to games based on different engines. For example, graphics, movement, and gunfight are some of the key elements that are changed with different engines.

Black Ops Cold War, developed by Treyarch, will use elements of the engine that Infinity Ward was used for Modern Warfare. However, the game itself is a different experience, with subtleties of movement, more cartoony graphics, etc.

So with War zone Moving to the Black Ops Cold War Universum, many fans wondered if there would be an engine change. After all, the battle royale changes along with weapons, items, and other elements that are added Cold War Specific. While some thought the engine would change too, an Activision representative has confirmed that it is not.

The Art Lead for Activision stated, “There will be no engine shift for WZ [Warzone]. “What does that mean exactly? Well, if you plan on playing both Black Ops Cold War Multiplayer and War zone In December you will experience two unique games. The gameplay in War zone is extremely different from Cold WarThis means that switching back and forth is not that easy.

You will need to learn two different styles of play as the two games use different movement and weapon handling techniques. While that doesn’t mean you can’t, switching back and forth between the two titles could be a challenge every time you play a game on a different engine.
