This just in.... Duke Nukem Forever is being totally rewriten to use the Doom3 engine now. Projected release date is ~ December 2008. Just in time for the Quake 5 engine.... :confused:

I really wish this was true...I don't expect it to be in stores before 2015 even if they go back to the original Quake 2 engine....

So can Quake II, actually it ran great on 200 MHz machines and deathmatch and CTF were sweeet.
Half-Life runs on a Valve-modified version of the Q2 engine.
