Don't be so pessimistic, think it's gonna be a good year. Everyone should learn by now that most of the other games around (with fancy new graphic) just sucks compared to q2's awesome gamplay and physics etc etc. Of course it's a lil sad that nocheat seem to be a dead project these days, but that would maybe get some of the other clients to be used more with fancy new graphics and stuff. Well, I'm looking forward to 2005 and what it will bring q2-wise
