10 Ways Call Of Duty Blackout Is Better Than Fortnite

10. It's Not On Unreal Engine 4

Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds were both created on Unreal Engine 4 - hardly surprising given Epic Games, developer of Fortnite, created Unreal Engine.

Frankly, while neither game is a stunning showcase of graphic fidelity, they do show how incredibly diverse and easy-to-use the engine can be. This isn't always the case; EA's Frostbite Engine is notoriously limited and difficult to use, Bethesda's games are literally known for their buggy nature, and the Telltale Engine was broken from day one. Suffice to say, Unreal Engine 4 is actually pretty great, not to mention free, software - albeit with some back-end compensation.

What's exciting about Black Ops IIII however, is that it won't be Unreal Engine 4. This alone makes it stand out in an already-crowded genre.

Black Ops IIII has been built using Activision's IW Engine, which the company has been using since COD 2, way back in 2005, albeit now extremely updated and modified. The engine will allow for massive maps of diverse terrain, polished interiors and exteriors, and little to no pop-in. Hurrah!
