True. I do remember the devs stating they upgraded the engine from hamsters to lemurs once before. So next step is...spider monkeys?

They never finished negotiating with us. We're unionized. 2hour workdays, twice a month, and we don't budge from that.

They will always make updates to it as and when they are needed. But if you mean scrapping the current engine and making a new one from scratch, well that is unlikely to happen unless they decide to start work on CoH2.

Depending on what your definition of "game engine" is you could say that's what the I17 Ultra Mode is for. *shrugs*

The Paragon programmers have so extensively patched the original engine that what we have now might as well be called CoH2.

Yes...I'm seeing...yessss...it's becoming clearer now...they WILL overhaul their graphics engine...and they will....wait...lost it...hold on...they will call it ULTRA MODE!!!
*phew* that was taxing.

Ultra Mode is an overhaul of the graphics engine, but I think the OP was referring to the game engine. What they want to see changed is entirely beyond me, but probably refers to everything the devs have referred to as "cannot be done with our existing game engine".|

Maybe they want the new game engine to spit out cheesecake.

I rejected game engine, and went with graphics engine, because changing the game engine would be creating a whole new game. And I like CoX just the way it is!
If someone's looking for a new game engine, there are plenty of other MMOs out there using totally different engines, one of which may be more to the OP's liking.
Now, the graphics engine, on the other hand, IS looking a bit dated, hence...ULTRA MODE!!!

Thing is, game engine is a nebulous term. Different devs mean different things at different times, depending on the context of the conversation.|

The powers system? The Character Database? The Animation system? The login server? The Map Server?
They're all different "engines" designed to communicate and work together at different times.
Fact of the matter is, there ISN'T a "game engine"

"Give me a new game engine" is as useful as saying "Make the sun explode"... in an arcade game which doesn't have a sun.
(And yes, I have been told to 'make the sun explode' while working on an arcade game which had no sun)
