Not much, bud...one or two things worth checking out...nothing major...InstaGib, WoD,
Quake4World, and a few others...all pretty much in development...nothing that grabs you by the
cojones and screams, "Play with Me!!!"

After I posted this I went to http://quake4.filefront.com/ and browsed 
the sections, most of them had *0* files.
I think the game engine and the multiplayer are really pretty good with 
quake 4, I'd wonder if the Doom3 engine is very hard to mod for.
My main impetus for this question is having been playing Classic Doom 
for Doom 3 the last couple of days, which is fantastic, of course it 
only took those guys a year to remake the first episode from Doom 1.

The Doom3/Quake 4 engine is by no means hard to mod for. The SDK is much 
easier to use than Quake 2. (I never messed with Quake 3 but it didn't look 
too good to me.) Once the holidays are past us I intend to dig into it a lot 
more.

I think the reason relatively little modding is going on right now is the 
competition from many other excellent games.

Check out Quake 4 Maximizer (www.q4max.com).  If you liked OSP or CPMA 
you'll love where the mod is heading.  arQon is I believe the lead 
programmer for this mod so expect great things :)  they have an early 
release which modifies the HUD to a more CPM/OSP style, and they've added 
fullbright skins and vertex lighting for damn near 60 FPS at any spot on any 
map.  No air control yet, so don't plan on doing any crazy trickjumping 
right out of the box...err..download but since that was a major part of CPMA 
I bet they're working on it.
