Q3F Beta 1F Today -- 10:41 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

The Quake3Fortress team will be releasing beta 1F of their Team Fortress-style mod for Quake III Arena today at 1:00 P.M. U.S. Central time. Here's a list of the changes:

• 5 new original maps: The Causeway, Last Resort, Spamtech, Got Duck? and King of the Castle
• Lots of new visual effects for weapons and grenades based on our new volumetric explosions, particle emitters and beam generator
• Completely new menu graphics, animation, music and sound effects
• Over 70 new audio effects for weapons, players, ambience, menu music and special FX
• Tribes-style Radio Communications System
• Complete overhaul of all class and weapon balancing through 3 months of extensive play testing by our QA Team
• Over 50 game-play tweaks and bugs fixed
• Lots of new models and/or skins for weapons/grenades
• New commands for people on lower spec systems providing control over our new 3D visual effects
• Improved map-voting system
• Q3F Extended Entity System now extended further :)
• Anti-cheat protection (both automatic and server administrator controlled)

I'll post a link here when 1:00 P.M. rolls around. Thanks Planet Quake.

UPDATE! 2:20 P.M. Ahh, the dangers of giving specific release times. Q3F is almost an hour and a half late now, but I'll let you know when I find out anything worthwhile.
