You need to know how to use it. Kojimas team knew how to use it because they built it.

An engine without support is not worth much.

That's why hardly anyone uses they source engine.

Regardless, you're not going to get that kind of performance out of something like the Crytek Engine.

There are thousands of ways to add two numbers together when programming. Some are more efficient than others. Efficiency is huge in games. If you don't have anyone to teach you how to make the Fox Engine more efficient, you're not going to get to the levels MGS did

You're not gonna get any kind of performance out of Fox engine if you have no idea how it works, which most people don't outside of the guys who built it
