Ice, please don't!! How long have you been at this?? 4/5 years... Are you going to throw it all away for nothing??? What about the rest of us, who want to play BWO, outdated or not??
Don't make BWO end like Over the Top, Reciprocity, CIM, etc...
You know how anticipated this project is, it would be a shame to throw it to the trash can when you have the tools/people to finish it and the end is almost in your grasp...
As for BWO being outdated: I'm sure that in a month after release you will see people modelling high-poly versions of its models, drawing specular maps etc, etc
