- Optimizations to multi-core rendering
- Removed -heapsize command line argument. Some detail: This command made sense in Half-Life 1s memory manager. The current engine manages memory in a way that doesnt need it specified. Under some circumstances, specifying a non-optimal heapsize causes crashes and/or reduced performance

The Highlander Mix-Up Match is HERE!

Just a quick heads up: <a href="http://etf2l.org/2010/09/02/the-highlander-mix-up-match/">our exhibition match</a> with pros and pubbers is going to begin shortly. If we're being honest, we're 10% excited, 90% terrified. You should also be terrified, because our usual MO is to take notes of everything that happens during a match, then make changes to the game in bitter, small-minded retaliation. If Dave Riller can't kill someone because they're hiding behind a wall? Guess what? That wall's toast in tomorrow's patch. And if I get killed by too many Scouts, then there'll be no more Scouts, in any game, ever. Double jumps will be a fond memory in your grandad's head. Trust us on this. We have connections at Nintendo. Mario will develop a sudden desire to wear lead weighted boots.
