Agreed Scott. Audio Quake Death Match is like what he's talking about as well. I wish the audio mod could be updated to the later quake engines though I do not know off-hand how open-source they all are. ID made the Quake 1 engine completely open source. Not sure how much the later Quakes were open.
Anyway, I too made note of the fixed-position idea and for me personally this really is not something I am super interested in. I would love them to make a full 3D FPS title with online play! I wish I had the time to see about porting Audio quake to iOS.

Something I read about this said that you're shooting from a fixed position, which isn't all that exciting, but seeing as their engine is 3D, maybe we'll get some vertical aspects of aiming to contend with instead of character movement. Even if it's just tilt and shoot in 2D, the audio from these guys has been good enough to make it worth supporting in my opinion, but it would be cool to see them push the envelope a bit in terms of gameplay as well. Hope that post on audiogames.net brings in the dough for them.
