COD4 engine
Please do not add that it is 'based on' the Quake III engine without an appropriate,, verifiable,, reliable 3rd party source. Thanks. xenocidic (talk) 13:52, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The same goes for Call of Duty 2. Find reliable sources, please. Forums won't cut it. xenocidic (talk) 14:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps this template will help you get acquainted with Wikipedia's guidelines -

WP:SPS
Per WP:SPS forums are inappropriate sources. If you can find a reliable, published, 3rd party source, then I would welcome the inclusion. xenocidic (talk) 14:55, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, it still doesn't qualify as a reliable and verifiable source. You must find something that is published. Please don't forget to sign your posts with four tildes ( ~ ). Also note those are not the "official" Infinity Ward forums. xenocidic (talk) 15:00, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, but only when they are official forums - these are not. We have no proof that the member posting there is actually from IW. I was actually try to find an official source to support your changes but all I found was this:

United Offensive pushed the Quake 3 engine probably as far as it could be pushed, so Call of Duty 2 is built entirely from a new proprietary engine.

VideoGames WikiProject
I truly hope this minor dispute will not discourage you from editing Wikipedia in the future. Having reviewed in depth the forum posting you are trying to reference, I agree that COD2 (and by extension, COD4) are probably distant relatives of the Q3 engine. However, without an appropriate source to reference, we simply cannot include this in the article. Anyhow, have you considered joining the VideoGames WikiProject?

Proof of license
I don't think the quakeunity thing would qualify either, but what I'll do is refactor this entire discussion onto the COD2 talk page for a third-opinon, ok? Cheers. xenocidic (talk) 16:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ Note there was a fairly lengthly debate already there, Talk:Call of Duty 2, though I'm not quite sure what the outcome was. I'm glad you've decided to join the WP:VG! xenocidic (talk) 16:38, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

As a courtesy to other editors, it is a Wikipedia guideline to sign your posts on talk pages, user talk pages, and WikiProject pages. To do so, simply add four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of your comments. Your user name or IP address (if you are not logged in) and the date will then be automatically added along with a timestamp when you save your comment. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). For further info, read Talk page guidelines. Thank you. StaticGull Talk  15:51, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
