but the combat includes fighting on rough terain, only some of the new stuff would have been possible to include with extending the old engine, thats why a new one was built. personally i feel building a new engine should always be the preference if your doing anything more than minor improvements, and is a must when your completely overhauling and improving on global features as ac3 is.
