i'm sure you've all managed to download the new "pro" versions of t2,t4,dm13 and dm6 (from the upcoming new point release) from somewhere and have been busy trying them out (myself included and i like 'em), but they might change just yet; quote from paul jaquays:


the leaked maps are mostly older versions. very good chance that all the maps that are eventually officially released will be different versions than those out there right now.


at id we are not very amused that they have been leaked. is it any wonder why we don't do very much pre-release testing outside our own offices?



i wonder if he's just saying that to dissuade people from using the leaked maps, thus encouraging people to patch their servers which means "bumping" the protocol number again meaning more incompatible demos etc.

I've been down in UL so I've had a chance to play some of the new maps on lan. Tourney4 seems alot faster, more routes to take..especially with the new tele down the bottom, you can almost run the railgun now.

Tourney2 is now alot bigger...a bit wierd with an RA, easy to run ya and RA, very easy...the railgun down make the level alot smaller though..good for potshotting the guy running the RA.

Haven't tried the other two yet

The new PR has different net compressions, so I'd expect a protocol bump anyway, regardless of the maps, which were pretty much Fredo's side project.

I was hungover when I wrote that last paragraph -- it wasn't mean to imply that the maps were the reason for the protocol bump
