id Software's Graeme Devine updated his .plan with a report from an id/ION Storm deathmatch session, and news that they're planning on releasing a tournament map along with the next version of Q3Test to give people time to practice before QuakeCon. Here's the scoop:

We had the Ion Storm guys over last week to play a little deathmatch, and while I won’t say who won between Romero and Killcreek, I can tell you it wasn’t the male of the species. But boy, can those Ion guys talk smack.

The reason we asked them over was to have them check in on the status of our tournament map, which we hope to get out there soon with the next version of the test (to give you all time to practice on it before QuakeCon, you are going to QuakeCon right?). We’re also looking at a /lot/ of bug fixes, changes, and tweaks so we’re gearing up for your feedback. I’ll let Chris Hecker speak for glsetup, but we’re looking to get that updated and support for 3Dfx in there.

Soon can be defined as soon. And that’s probably not this week.
