i couldn't wait for it to be released but i haven't heard anything lately
its based on the quake2 engine so it will look rather dated by release time

'Then,' said Yossarian, 'I'd certainly be a damned fool to feel any othe way wouldn't I?'
Actually, I believe valve said it will be using its own engine. If someone has heard different then let me know. I know they were using the quake2 engine, but I thought I read where its using its own engine.Quote:

when they say own engine do they mean the half-life engine which is a modified quake2 engine anyway?Quote:

I believe it's a brand new engine. Don't remember where I read that but I remember reading something about them scrapping the current engine and using a brand new one.
Of course that sucks also. Just delays it longer..
Can't they just license the Halo engine? https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif

Yeah, I believe they are using their own engine. also, if you read up on the half-life engine, 70% of it was re-written by them. or some sort of % was re-written. I know they have added a bunch of technology to it. I wish they would release some photos or movies or something like that.Quote:

I'm with you. Would be nice to really know that this game is still going to come out eventually. Hell, by that time, we'll have optical implants and hook ourselve up directly to the PC https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gifQuote:

lol yeah, I can picture that. I remember seeing some screen shots of it and it was looking rather good. I have read a lot of interviews and I guess they are going to classify it as a Real Time First Person Shooter. I guess the commander class is like playing a RTS game. I dunno, I just want an update to TFC or something.Quote:

Even the first screenshot looks better than Q3!
I say they stick with what they have and release the game
not that my computer can handle it though https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/4.gif

Did you ever hear about the boy who cried wolf?

I think a lot about nothing. I am an expert on the subject, which is great because most conversations get around to it sooner or later.
Let's just hope it isn't like Tiberian Sun...Pics on the first red alert and took how many years to come out and suck..... like 6?? If this game sucks I'm never buying valve again.

Aww, Dont be so negative. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/6.gif Personally, I have faith that TF2 will be good when it hits the stores. Now, who knows when that will be. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gifQuote:

Don't know if this has been stated because I didn't read all the above messages in this thread, but TF2 will be using a modified Quake 3 engine rather than it's own. If they switched to thier own engine, it would not be out for an even longer time.
Hey Bataar where did you hear that? TF2 has been in production a lot longer than th Q3A engine has been available. Did they start over with a different engine? I know it used a Half-Life engine originally.
BTW, What defines an "engine", anyway? I mean, If you start with a Quake 1 "engine" and then modify it enough, you will have a Half-Life engine. But is it still just a modified Q1 Engine or is it a new one? People argue and argue about what engine is a modified... you get my point.
------------------
Are You sure this video card is supposed to be sautered into place?
TF2 was supposed to be out this last summer. However, they felt the graphics would look too dated so they bumped it from a modified Quake 2 engine to a modified Quake 3 engine.Quote:
