Note - this is not a press release - we'll be doing that soon, hopefully. I've been seeing the same questions pop up and I'll answer some of 'em here...
1.is dfx2 due out in february ? amazon and some other sites are takingpre orders for the game for dates between the 9 - 21 of feb 09.
There is no firm date, but I think March is more accurate based on Marketing and Distribution needs. Gives us more time to polish it anyways.
2. is dfx2 made on the same engine as dfaf?
No, DFX2 is not using the DFAF engine ( and yes, it's a totally separate game, and it's not a replacement for DFAF )
3.is dfx2 being shipped on dvd-rom or cd-rom, depending on what web site pre order i read some say cd some say dvd.
I'm pretty sure it's on DVD - we're planning on including a lot of content for mappers.
4. please can you tell me the spec of system needed to run dfx2.
Not official yet, but it will basically run fine on the same specs as DFX. It will probably have a larger HD footprint, and a little more RAM and juice on the video card isn't going to hurt - but if you can run DFX fine now - you'll be ok.
Also, DFX2 is not a remake or update of DF2 as a lot of people have been speculating. It's original missions, all new maps and terrains ( plus all the old terrains as well ).
Anti-cheat and hack reporting will be much more solid than previous games.
We'll try and 'leak' some more screens this week for you guys as well
edit: I forgot to mention that we have been looking at DFX and JO critically for weapons and vehicle balance for DFX2. We're aware of the previous balance issues with guns, nades, AT4s, helos, gunships and are addressing it.
Some other question was asked by members.

what does that mean? old DFX terrains that were from DF1? or old DF2 terrains? because if its DF2 terrains I'm going to have a wet dream.
Someone said DFX2 would play more like the Original DF games, is this true?
Answer ravenn wrote:
I was thinking DFX when I wrote that, and maybe some others as well. I'll have to see. DFX already had a bunch of the original terrains reworked - but I don't remember if they were DF or DF2 or both...
I'd say it plays somewhere between DFX and DF2 - it's still geared to be fast and fun and not a hardcore experience. More satisifying gunplay for sure : )

Can you confirm the presense of Nadeguns and a new Anticheat software?
Answer ravenn wrote:
yeah - there's been new anticheat stuff in the works for a while...
the screen with the nade boats is from single player, BTW... We're still considering the use for MP - but the balance is definitely being addressed - and the days of gunship raping and guys in littlebirds raining 203s with impunity are done.
Hi ravenn two questions:
... had the maptesting over @ Novaworld1 something to do with DFX2?
and will a version of NILE be shipped with DFX2?
Answer ravenn wrote:
no NILE with DFX2, the 'new NILE' is for DFAF and the new engine only - old NILE sorta works with DFX2, but isn't officially supported.
