Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory Performance
Here we saw some rendering issues with the smoke effects which was most likely either a depth test or alpha blend problem. This is also an OpenGL game so it is good to see that not all OpenGL performance is as bad as Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. Again, these issues will hopefully be taken care of before launch.

Time is an issue. Even if they are able to fix all the IQ issues and OGL performance problems, if they release it too late, their performance will be below what ATI and NVIDIA will be offering, and they'll fizzle out. If they can get it out before the big boys bring out their new stuff, and they price it cheap enough, they'll have a product that can potentially take a bit of the FX5200/R9200 portion of the market, which would be good because those cards don't perform well for their price IMO. It will be nice to root for someone other than ATI and NVIDIA for a change.
