Quake Wars, Ogl or Dx ?

Hi guys,
Will the upcoming ET: Quake Wars use OpenGL since it is a moded Doom engine ?

thank you...

yep, if it is from ID

I thought ID was transitioning to D3D, ever since their development of games on the XB360?

On second thought I've heard ET: QW is just Doom 3 with MegaTexture and I don't see why they'd recode the whole thing in D3D. Possibly to make it more portable.

I hope nVidia cards will be much better for that game than ATI, since I'm gonna buy nVidia in summer and I have a lot of old OpenGL games .

thanks guys.

While Nvidia is still in the lead with OGL based engines, ATI is catching up. I can't wait to see what kind of Nvidia/ATI will come for DX10 though.

Quake wars look much better than Doom3. Just wait and see

And it will most probably be OpenGL.
