Thanks to Blue's News for pointing out that Belgian site De Spelletjesgarnaal has a preview of the beta build of Black Thorn! (Wow, cool to see all these European sites getting the beta before English sites. Too bad Babelfish doesn't work for the Dutch language in this preview and the one at TacticalGames below.) This preview reveals some VERY interesting info: 1. As seen in the screenshot of the intro splash screen, the engine for BT has been modified from UO (likely to include the Lone Wolf multiplayer mode) and the "build" will be called v3.00 (stamped July 16, 2001). Since it's not as big a leap as v1.00 (R6 engine) to v2.00 (RS engine), I thought it would have been more appropriate to name it v2.75 ;-) 2. The names of the 6 multiplayer maps and 4 of the 10 single player missions can be seen in this screenshot. 3. From what I can make out in Dutch, one of the single player missions is based on the GIGN Marseilles airport hostage rescue in 1994. This operation was one of the most dramatic and successful CT ops in history, and if you haven't read about it, check out this excellent narrative of the whole operation here.
