The current games that will be upgraded to use the new engine (HL2MP, CS:S,
etc...): Is there a lot involved in that? The reason I ask is there are
several exploits that have never been fixed, as well as some netcode issues
that I've seen. Playing TF2 I don't see any of those.
If the orange box engine means a fix to some of these exploits, then an
overhaul to some of our mod coding to fit the new SDK release might just be
worth it. If you need examples of exploits, I can e-mail you offline.

Hi All-
Once I do the "big merge" I will be able to provide a better preview of
changes that you will be getting with the next SDK update. But for now
here is the high-level list of new features and improvements in Orange
Box games and the latest version of the Source Engine:
Non-photo-realistic Rendering
Cinematic Physics Simulations
Utilization of Multi-core Processors
Improved HDR
Enhanced Particle System
Human Skin Shader Improvements
Enhanced Foliage Rendering
New Motion Blur Effect
Pixel Shader Model 3.0
Enhanced Shadows
Hopefully some of this stuff looks interesting to some of you. :)
-Mike
