Hey, just wanted to know do you DEVS have a timetable of when we can expect the release to beta4.

Just like Beta 3, it will be ready when it is ready.

If it makes you feel any better, we have not decided that a 3.2 is necessary at this point.

It's limitless on how we get out of beta 3 .. but we still have beta 3 :D

It's better when they say something like than announcing something in Valve Time (http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time). ^^

Well, even then it will be still sooner than Duke Nukem Forever (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_Nukem_Forever). ;D

I feel like Beta 3 has infinite playability, the gameplay feels pretty much perfect at this point. As for content, I feel like there's more than enough to satisfy, with allmost all the guns and gamemodes being included, as several excellent-looking community maps coming soon (like Major's Dam) to add to the already awesome release.

I think we, the fans, could go quite a while while waiting for beta 4.

Speaking of community maps, can we expect any of your maps such as ge_basement_ssl converted to Beta 3 anytime soon?

Beta 1 to Beta 3 was also a engine change, so all new code, so took a long time.

Quote from: Wiki
Beta 1 : Date Released - December 30, 2006
Beta 1.1H Date Released - Early December, 2007
Beta 3 Date Released - February 7, 2009

So won't be 2015...pfffftt, max....2011-2012

;)

Eventually, but right now basement_ssl is going through a complete lighting overhaul, and I'm making it GES props and textures only with the exception of the pipes. There's also a 1/4 done stack slapped on top which I might have to remove for the release.

I'll make a topic in the custom WIP forum once it's close to being done.
