It appears you’re right, good catch… the EON was not actually used for this game, although I don’t feel too bad making the mistake since even some of EA’s own employees got it wrong (see the preview over at <a href=“http://commanderbond.net/article/2780”>this site</a> where they mention that company reps told them “The game is built around the Everything or Nothing engine, but has been dramatically improved.”)
Regardless of whether the engine was the same one though, I think my main point still holds—it’s quite obvious that EA was hoping to capitalize off the success of EON and built the FRWL engine to be nearly identical in every aspect: from the shooting, to the driving-based missions, to even small things like the controls for hiding behind objects or changing weapons. Unfortunately, I felt like it didn’t add anything of substance to that package…
Thanks for the comments though! It’s good to have people keeping you on your toes so that you get your facts straight.
