George Broussard on their new physics engine: (meqon)

IMO, Karma was first gen. Havok was second gen. Meqon is third gen. It's way way faster than Karma ever was, and it does more, and it's cleaner to use. I know Havok is working on next gen stuff now, but it's not available yet.

HL2 uses havok, so basicly DNF has the advantage in physics here if meqon is 3rd gen

Could I be optimistic for 2006?

Nah, the thing will probably get released in 2056 so by then, we would already be into 20th gen physics engines.....

If you go here you can download a set of demos based on the newest version of Meqon. It's quite fun to play about with. A local company here also uses this engine. I don't know what it's like up against Havok or the like though.
