Thinking about it, I really like ff as it is, for me I would be happy just seeing it on a more sophisticated engine, I can imagine how amazing maps like monkey and palermo would look.

Work can be started on player models/animations and updated props.
We need some great texture artists, are the original textures that were made have a higher res when created and scaled down?

By the time the above is ready perhaps info on source2 release date will be announced. It would seem the natural progression, porting existing maps a breeze, and launch ff2 with a rich map selection.
