And so your porting something like this to the XBOX then...?

We could REALLY go for another Quake 2 port that supports MODs, and some new features added to the old source would of course be nice.

Whats in store for you if you have never played Q2E before? Heres just a FEW of our features that we have in at the moment:

- Works with most mods. If it doesn't work wit ha mod and we can fix it, then we will do all we can.
- Main menu totally re-worked. Now has a mouse driven UI similar to Quake III Arena's, with complete menu art overhaul.
- Added a new loading screen.
- New Shader system that works on 2D, 3D and model surfaces.
- New Console.
- New Smooth font.
- Added shadows to fonts.
- Added various commands to give better control over Quake 2.
- Added Quake III Arena style console typing, allowing the type of functionality of the Quake III Arena Console.
- Added the possibility of having large textures (4096x4096)
- Added 22bit Targa image support for use on textures, skins and images.
- Added Jpeg support for use on textures, skins and images.
- Added new file system called *.pk2. This system is a zip format like that of Quake III Arena allowing zip files to be used instead of *.pak files.
- Changed loading order of pak/pk2 files. Now: pk2>pak>Folder.
- Changed drawing order of textures. Now .tga>.jpg>.wal.
- Changed drawing order of skins. Now .tga>.jpg>.pcx.
- Changed drawing order of 2D art. Now .tga>.jpg>.pcx.
- Added Quake III Arena style lagometer.
- Added new shadows. Now theres none, oval, solid, and transparent.
- Added 20 32bit Targa crosshairs to replace older ones. All have Alpha Channel support.
- Completely re-worked the HUD system. You now have a static sized HUD, complete with new icon/number set. Its also scriptable.
- Added a Quake III Arena style weapon selection bar that pops up when you switch weapons.
- Added a Frames Per Second counter in the top right corner.
- Slightly re-worked the particle system so that each particle is loaded from an image file.
- Water warping.
- International keyboard support.

Well, thats a short list I know, but we are constantly working on this thing so stay tuned for the new features. With a Full Texture and model replacement battle going on, scripted particles getting ever closer, and even improved lighting and shadowing, the future for Q2E looks bright !

Sooo.. Are you readY?

Screens and downloads HERE!

BTW. Blur was the guys who made the Cinematics for Return to Castle Wolfenstein

These screenshots cant show the greatness of thes update..! It is so amazing.. Wait till you see the particle effects!

Wtf? Helious you're not of Team Blur. You didn't work on Q2E... why are you acting as if you have got anything to do with Q2E? And btw... Blur is not a guy working on Q2E, Team Blur are the 2 ppl working on Q2E, O'dium and Berserk...
