Call of Duty: Ghosts' new engine still iterative and, not built from scratch

[jasong]

Use the word "new" to entice gamers that it's something built from ground up, where in reality, it's yet ANOTHER tweak to an already existing engine. Surprised and unsurprised.

What difference does it actually make to you? The graphics are sufficiently upgraded that it wouldn't change anything if they'd built the engine from scratch or overhauled it. Unreal Engine 4 is also built on UE3's framework. As are Cryengine 3 and Frostbite 3. Windows 8 is built from windows 7 which is built from windows vista and so on.

What they showed at the MS presser looked to me like a slightly upgraded CoD engine, nothing about it screamed next-gen to me. Even BF3, a current gen game still looks a lot better than what they showed.

I wouldn't say that at all. BF4 looks way better though.
