Well, there is always the engine that Nexuiz uses: Darkplaces. It looks significantly better than Quake 1-3. Some of the special effects bring even modern machines to their knees though, such as the reflective water. In other games with nice water, I can get over 130 FPS easy, but maps with reflective water in Nexuiz slow things down a lot. That said, the characters look about on par with PS2 characters, which IMO is still pretty good.

Red Vs Blue machinima? How is that copyright infringement? They use Halo. It isn't like they did what they did in another game that had nothing to do with Halo. Plus it was free.
They do make Red vs Blue DVDs(not to mention T-Shirts, hoodies, posters) and sell them though (
http://redvsblue.com/store/) the official website. So they do make a profit out of something based on assets made by Bungie/MS.

I'm pretty sure Microsoft would care, but I guess they aren't aware of it or don't consider it a big threat.
Some companies do put cease and desist orders on indiedevelopers when they make games based on copyrighted IPs but I do not think MS is one of them. If you have reason to believe otherwise please provide som kind of evidence of them pulling out the banhammer in the past.

Shortly after episode 2, Bungie Studios contacted Rooster Teeth. Although the crew had feared that any contact would be to force an end to the project, Bungie enjoyed the videos and was supportive; one staff member called the production "kind of brilliant". A deal was arranged to ensure that the series could continue to use Bungie's game properties without license fees.

@henke: I forgot about the DVD stuff. Whatever, you win.:sweat: Gosh damnit.
But Red Vs blue was FREE to download before the DVDs came around.
@ZylonBane: Didn't know that... Cool. Well, that settles it.
