Only John Carmack has the heart to give away his awesome code for free :) . This even has Carmack's reverse api and also support 128 channels of positional audio instead of 5.1 audio. I think we might see new generation of developers like Valve,Infinity ward,Treyarch or Crytek after this release.

I don't understand the hate Doom 3 got, but the original has to be tops for me too.
