CPL Game Severity Announced
by Maarten Goldstein, Dec 16, 2006 8:30pm PSTAccording to this PDF format press release on the CPL website, former Ritual Entertainment studio director Tom Mustaine will head up an effort to create a new multiplayer game called Severity. The game, to be released on PC and console systems, will focus on team-vs-team and 1vs1 modes, and will feature extensive support for live and online competitions. The CPL expects to start testing the game by late 2007.
"Severity will be the first videogame conceived from the ground up to ensure the growth and appeal of multiplayer game competitions worldwide," said Tom Mustaine, Director of Game Development at the CPL's new studio. Severity is built on technology created by developer id Software and includes enhanced tournament support, spectator modes, as well as detailed player and tournament statistics tracking. By leveraging the enthusiastic community and practical experiences of the CPL, Severity is uniquely positioned to set new standards while raising the bar for competitive multiplayer games.

Also I really don't care whether it will turn out like Q or CS, but inevitably when it's finally out a lot of people are going be "severity suxx0rsss" because it's more like Q and they wanted CS (or the other way around). For all I care the player models could be red and blue boxes as long as its balanced and interesting.
Hopefully something will come out of this most people can accept and hopefully people will learn to deal with the fact Severity will not be 100% like their current game of choice.
