(And that in fact is exactly what it looks like from what I can read online. I should've pestered the id guys when they were in town a few months ago for information, but honestly I don't at all like id's games, and nobody's really using their engine at all so I haven't cared much about what they're doing -- id Tech 4 has all of eight games using it, five of which were id's own franchises and two of which aren't even released, and that's over 7 years of the engine being around! id has long since stopped being the game industry's graphics wonderworks.)
