The current hot/unsubstantiated rumor is that id’s Todd Hollenshead said, on G4TechTV in the US, that id has an external developer working on RtCW2.
Might that be your favorite developer and mine, SD? 
I hope so! Although I also was hoping that SD might be involved in some Doom 3 MP expansion, but if they are in charge of RtCW2, particularly the MP, then its in great hands.
has anyone actually seen this techtv to confirm?

seems odd only this 1 guy noticed it, plus it’s been cut from the techtv DOOM3 interview/trailer going about
supposably there is a repeat of the show on at 8pm EST.
Ow man daikatana now THAT was a game !
I mean shooting green flies and frogs in a green environment, the genius of it !
And a level later when the guy follows you without getting stuck or loosing you even once, pathfinding at it’s most divine incarnation.
And the weapon arsenal !!! OMFG !!!1!
Never equaled in another game, I would even be happy with a remake !
:respect:

OMFG i never met anyone who actually played it for more then ten seconds.
Yeah, Daikatana. John Romero sure made me his bitch.
AHHAAAAAAH HA!
Quite simply the crappest advertising campaign ever. Nice to know he had to eat his words.
About 50 times over, given the release ‘schedule’.
I thank you faltytower, you made my night reminding me of that
I just had to dig up some “info” on Daikatana on somethingawful.com
Read this:
“With “Doom II” and “Quake” fading into the background Romero broke away from id to create his own game company that would better suit his needs as a sports car driving, leather pants-wearing, long haired loser with a shit load of money. He wanted to use Ion Storm to realize his dreams of creating a game with a big-titted female sidekick and a sidekick named Superfly, and with only a few years and a budget bigger than the GDP of most African countries, Romero managed to do just that. And the gaming community roared with laughter at the piece of shit that was “Daikatana”, a legendary failure that had run through four different lead designers.”
In his own words:
"2000: Singlehandedly responsible for the title which revolutionized the PC gaming experience, “Daikatana,” much like how the colon cleansing industry was revolutionized by the invented of “the long stick with a pink sponge glued to its end.”
I played it 11 seconds when it came out on one gaming magazine CD But I have immediately uninstalled it and destroyed the CD to save others from such mistake
Now playing the interview for the 50th time 
This would be AWESOME!!! And i want the map mp_beach in it 
I’m just towards the end of playing the original Deus Ex at the moment and have now seen how stuff like gas grenades could work - might even be a worthy replacement for the panzer - certainly fairer. Things are starting to get interesting again Res Evil 4, Doom 3, then news of RtCW2 - life is sweet
Rate of Fire, Hitbox madness (prone) and XP along with maps that could easily have been three on an original RtCW server make the difference. In RtCW things were much tighter because everything was limited - it’s true that you had to really think about what you were going to do next because chances were if you got it wrong then you ended up dead along with some of your teammates most likely.
What really killed RtCW imho was when spawn timers were released and considered legit - because of the smaller map sizes, it meant that once one person on your team had given out the main spawn timings ppl could camp out - saw this alot and was every bit as annoying as /kill.
All I ask is that the class based cooperative system is seen as a gametype option in other mp games - having said all that, I hear that you can download the original Tribes for free now as there’s a new release in the works 
^^^^Hehehe
Anywhoo, now that this thread has proven not to be rumor–san an official press announcement–I’m just hoping “the sequel to RtCW” (specifically MP) won’t go in the direction of Battlefield or UT2k4 (i.e. vehicle+infantry combat). Uck.
