| THE GRAFICAL PART |
This subsection of our review highlights the main graphical aspects of this game. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, graphic settings and the quality of development of the main visual aspects.
| SUPPORTED OS AND GRAPHICS API |
Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 is supported Windows 10/11. Priority and main graphics API for Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 is DX12.
| GAME ENGINE |
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was developed on the IW engine 8. In 2002, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, a three-dimensional shooter game set during World War II, was released. This game used id Tech 3 (then known as the Quake 3 Engine, after the first game it was used in) from id Software as its technological base. Allied Assault was developed by 2015, Inc., some of whose employees left the company after the game's release to found Infinity Ward.
Infinity Ward's first game was Call of Duty 2003, which, like Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, tells the story of the events of World War II. This game is also built on the id Tech 3 engine. The choice of this technology is obviously explained by the fact that Infinity Ward employees already had experience working with it. Compared to the original id Tech 3, the graphics component of the engine has undergone a number of changes. Thus, the game began to actively use post-effects (for example, "image blur"), water is processed using shaders, which made it possible to make realistic reflections, the lighting system is complicated and dynamic soft shadows appeared. Subsequently, for Call of Duty An official addon was also released - Call of Duty: United Offensive.
This diagram illustrates the history of the development of the game engines of the IW Engine series. The game was released on October 25, 2005. Call of Duty 2 developments by Infinity Ward, which is a full-fledged continuation of the first part. Call of Duty 2 is considered the first game to use the IW engine. Technically, this engine is a heavily reworked id Tech 3, an evolved version of the engine used in the very first part.
Compared to the original engine, this version has many improvements and changes built in: instead of the OpenGL API, the image is processed by Direct3D, several relief texturing techniques are used, shadow processing is more complex, the particle system and post-effects are significantly improved. The next game based on the IW engine was Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2007. This game uses the third version of the engine (IW engine 3.0); the technology was once again improved and refined: facial animation, water surface processing, lighting effects were complicated, new post-effects such as depth of field appeared, and color correction capabilities of the image were widely used to give it a special stylization.
In 2008, the fifth part of the game series was released - Call of Duty: World at War (developer: Treyarch). The game is built on the third version of the engine (IW engine 3.0), which was modernized by the developers of Treyarch. Another Treyarch game, Quantum of Solace: The Game, was made on the same version of the engine. In 2009, the release took place Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (development moved back to Infinity Ward). This game uses the next version of the engine, IW engine 4.0, with a number of improvements, including Streaming Textures technology.
On November 9, 2010, the seventh part was released Call of Duty — Black Ops. This game uses a significantly improved version of the IW engine 3.0, which was used in Call of Duty: World at War, which is probably due to the fact that the game's development began in parallel with the creation of Modern Warfare 2. Compared to previous parts of the game, several serious improvements were made to the graphics code, in particular, among other things, a completely redesigned lighting system and improved particle system.
In the same year, the game GoldenEye 007, the “spiritual successor” of the original 007 GoldenEye 1997 for the Nintendo 64, was released on the Wii console. Eurocom was responsible for the development, and Activision was in charge of publishing. This game, according to some sources, also uses an internal modification of the IW engine (the exact version is unknown).
November 8, 2011 released Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, based on an updated version of the IW 4.0 engine (working title - MW3 Engine); the development was carried out by Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software. In October, Glen Schofield, the founder of Sledgehammer Games, stated in an interview that the IW engine resembles a Porsche, and that the criticism of the engine, which was heard in reviews of Modern Warfare 3, is unfounded, since the developers are constantly modifying the technology and reworking it.
On May 1, 2012, the ninth game in the series and a sequel were announced. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2010 - Call of Duty: Black Ops II. The game uses an updated version of the IW 3.0 engine used to create the first Black Ops. HDR lighting, self-shadowing, bounce lighting, and reveal mapping were added to the engine, and the PC version of the game had DirectX 11 support. According to Treyarch, their main priority is 60 frames per second (FPS) on any platform. The game was released on November 13, 2012.
In 2013, the release took place Call of Duty: Ghosts. This game was developed by Infinity Ward with the participation of Raven Software and Neversoft Entertainment. When announced, the game engine was described by the publisher's representatives as "completely new", but later the developers clarified that the engine is an evolution of their own engine - IW 6.0; thus, the studio's animator, Zach Walker, said: "It is impossible to develop a new game engine "from scratch" in the two-year cycle that our games go through. We do it differently - we conduct research and draw conclusions about which systems and major parts of the engine are morally outdated and update them, bringing them up to the modern level. How much are we updating them? I think enough to allow ourselves to call this engine new."
