Ok...Lets say that the engine has the potential and scalabilty to eventually push the limits of top gear...It is not outdated, it is in its "basic" state...
But then put everything in context here:
Look at the video made out of Beta, played with average gear, medium settings and shadows off..... some shots are already photorealistic...not all, but some are...
Now...Take COD at release as a more tweaked developpement stage: full detail, full AA, full anything that is available now, and then...120 aircrafts over London with explosions and smoke...So ?..Yes..In its actual state and in that context, this COD engine will put ANY 2011 super-computer (
) to its knees...Even if the code is ultra-optimized...
That is why, for a while, until much faster rigs become affordable, the engine does'nt need to be so much more hi-tech to be graphically photorealistic...And that is why it was built to be upgradable....
And remember, Oleg did put DX11 features in COD, but they were to unstable and he decided to remove those features for the moment...
SAlute !
