OMF:BG hasn't come out yet and pobably won't, because it has ben in DEV for at least 4 years, and only uber-sucsseful game's can have their 2nd installment be in DEV for too long like Half-Life.

OMF:BG will be definantly under-whelming becuase it will be far behind the curve by the time it comes out. Thats the risk of taking to long, as it was started in 2000 it will be like a game made in 2000. Sry to be so negative.

But Epic forgot about one thing when they shifted away from all things jazzy. They left a strong community with many great members, many of them programers, level makers, tileset makers, story writers, speech writers, and even the life and blood of jj2, the fans. That and the fact that their attitude towards jj2 gives it a lot of attention. We get our time in the spotlite on many sites, sometimes in praise, sometimes as a joke, but either way, it gets the message out that jazz is still alive and we need some help. Companies seeing this may see an opprotunity, a great game could be made if only they tried a little. Seeing the true sucsess that jazz 2 turned out to be, seeing a handful of players conquer all, it shows that even a simple game thats well past it's prime can prove to be a serious game that, with the proper advertising, can make a bunch of money. That is what game makers want.
