Max (programmer for ns) said the level editor takes influence from 3ds studio and hammer.

I'm pretty sure they are using the "In-House ®" Engine

I hope they aren't biting off more than they can chew with the new engine stuff. I was under the impression that they'd get this moving quickly by building off the source engine.

[dux]

Well they did start with that idea didn't they. That tech demo of the dynamic infestation was source. Then they made their own engine. I guess Source couldn't do what they wanted?

No that tech demo was in max's engine. They made a post to clarify it wasnt source :]

The UW guys are doing a really great job with this, and I was very impressed seeing the last updates.

[Zacker]

I definitely also have my worries regarding if those two guys can really handle this much. Building a brand new AAA 3d engine with support for FPS and RTS gamemodes is quite an insane task to take on for just 1-2 guys. As a gamer I would like a NS2 to come out as soon as possible and I am not entirely sure if that's going to happen anytime soon.

It's 4 people working on it full time now but your point still stands.
