The engine did not have an official name until IGN was told at the E3 2009 by the studio that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 would run on the "IW 4.0 engine".[1]

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was released using version 3.0 of the engine. Treyarch began using an enhanced version of the IW 3.0 engine for Call of Duty: World at War.[2] Treyarch, however, then modified the engine for their James Bond title, Quantum of Solace.[3]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was released using the IW 4.0 engine, the only game to do so. The IW 4.0 engine featured texture streaming technology to create much higher environmental detail. Treyarch then further modified the IW 3.0 engine for Call of Duty: Black Ops. The engine was also modified by Eurocom in a different way for the GoldenEye remake. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 utilizes the MW3 engine, the fifth iteration of the engine and an improved version of the IW 4.0 engine.[4] Improvements on the engine allow better streaming technology which allows larger regions for the game while running at a minimum of 60 frames per second and improvements to the audio of the engine have also been made. this game was worse than battlefeild 4 and halo is way better than this crap KILLZONE ROCKS
