yeah this looks very very promising (^_^)
have to keep my eye out over the comming weeks to see how this improves...
definately noticeing some strong contenders finally emerging - but as Rich said provided you can finish in time. But i think a week or so you should probably have the complete basic down

i mean once you have collision, item collection, item use, soldier NPC setup - creating the rest will be a matter of BSP with entities ... which is where you can just use your imagination for some fantasy mission (^_^)
good luck
