Dude... when you make some statement about a simple fact, and someone
corrects you, you might want to check to see if maybe they are right before
you just say the same thing again.  Or at least back up your assertion.  And
it's just weird/rude to snip out the portion of their post where they
disagree with you, when quoting them (I have restored it above).

Anyway, the Raven Software web site says that Hexen2 uses the Quake engine.
Perhaps they should know?  Also, note that the Quake 2 engine is _not_ even
finished at this moment, and Hexen2 has probably been in development for
around half a year; using the Quake 2 engine for Hexen2 would have been an
impressive trick.  Finally, no way is id going to let any company release a
game using the Quake 2 engine before id does.
