Lord help me I can not find the old thread we had discussed about this. Either way there are a few new shots out that show some very Joint Op looking things.

If graphics was gameplay, we'd have a new winner. I'm looking forward to seeing it at E3.

Yeah, it's scary. I'm staring into the abyss right now, and it's staring into me, which I think is kind of a dick move on the abyss's part. - Nyles

Forget seeing - the game will be playable as well! You'll have to fight lots of stinky geeks to do so, of course, but we know you'll take the heat for us Goodjers, Certis.

It's easy, really; you just need to find someone alergic to acorns.

I have faith in SplashDamage since they did Gameplay > Graphics already... so hopefully this should just be a graphical and features upgrade to ET.

They may have some balance and tweaking issues at first.. but hopefully in the end it will be very playable for a long time like ET.

I'm 100% ressurecting the GWJ Server for this.... with some decent bandwidth this time.

Aint nothing new about the world order..it's been playing since the day they put George Washington on a quarter

Can someone describe the merits of SplashDamage to me? I haven't played any of their games. I just see the Quake and id brands, and I immediately think of that Same Ol' Song, playing over and over, til the end of time.... I want to have faith but they've just about beaten it outta me.

We shall grapple with the ineffable, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Does anyone else think 'Snake Eater' when looking at the new shots? The game looks better with each passing day, and i'm defintely confident that Splash Damage will deliver. I had loads fun with ET for at least a year straight. The same can't be said of Return TO Castle Wolfenstein, the game which ET was based off of.

Carmack has an interview in the newest CGW where he says he implemented a new technique he calls "Megatexture" that elminates the need to repeat textures in this game. I'm interested to see how this looks in action it is one of the things that I notice is still lacking in games these days especially in outdoor scenes.

That they felt necessary to name it "megatexture" leads me to believe they are scrounging for some buzzword buzz.

Any idea if they plan on implementing an "official" server plan a la EA and BF2?

Oh Good Lord, I hope not. I am not up for point whoring in yet another game. I want the mods and the custom maps and all the other crap that comes with a good tactical FPS without the stat tracking and unlock crap.

In other words, one of the big reasons to have a GWJ server.

I personally am looking forward to playing a game with a better mand engine.

They tossed me out after I stole a handful of teabags from the kitchen and shoved 'em down the throat of one of the counselors during a soccer match. Teach him to leave the box.

In other news, what the hell? 350 meg patch for 1.22?

I think that's the 1.0 - 1.22 patch.
The 1.21-1.22 patch should be about 9 mb.

The character classes of the early alpha are up. Seems like we still have a long wait ahead of us.
