AvP2 MultiPlayer Demo Soon

Sierra Studios sends along a teaser announcement for the imminent multiplayer demo of Aliens Vs. Predator II, the three-way first-person shooter that is nearing completion at Monolith. Here is the message, which does not specify the precise date and time of the demo's release:
Three species, one world - it is survival of the fittest and only one species will emerge victorious. Your chance is coming to be one of those species in the soon-to-be-released Aliens vs. Predator 2 multiplayer demo. Which species will you choose...

The odds are stacked against the marine as he faces these two deadly foes, but never underestimate the heart of a marine and his will to survive.

Challenged by human and Alien obstacles, the Predator must discover his will to survive must be greater than the lust for the hunt.

Striking from within the facility, the Alien seeks to save its queen stopping at nothing to ensure survival of the Alien race.

Stay tuned for more details...

Well, I guess that puts them out of your league of understanding, doesn't it?

Lithetech is past its prime. With every upgrade I see almost zero improvement in it. Look at the Unreal engine, you see a clear improvements with every iteration of it. Theres open-souce engines that look better than Lithtech fer chrissakes.

I should note that Im only speaking about aesthetics, I have no comprehension of the difficulty of programming one over another

The lithtech engine (looks average imo) is very Graphics Card intensive. A p3700 with Geforce3 ran it better then my Athlon 1.2 266 with a Geforce 2 Ultra. Go figure. But no, the first demo still had excellent frame rates throughout. That was never a problem for any of the machines (about 14) ive seen it run on.

So did they optimize the performance for this release?
The first demo ran like crap on my P3-800.
And I know Lithtech isn't exactly the most taxing engine on the market...
