Well Facility Backzone and Caverns are confirmed for Beta 4

Silo, Surface, Citadel, Aztec, and Archives Frontzone may or may not be in Beta 4... we'll have to wait and see.

What's the current status on Beta 4? Is it polishing? Is it testing and fixing bugs? Or is it just not at these stages yet?

In other words, what's still on the list that needs to be done in order for beta 4 to be released? I am not asking what you are going to put in it, I just want to know how long I'll have to wait to play it, without asking for a release date

To be more descriptive since sharp is so boring , We are polishing, testing, and fixing bugs ALL at the same time. Some days are better than others. For instance, when sharp commits a map and it has all the glass falling over on the models and the floor missing/damaged, we regress a little bit and we have to take more time for his butt to get things straight. But overall, new things are added all the time which always makes questions difficult about release. A lot of the stuff we are "polishing", "bug fixing" and "testing" will be seen in the next update, but life happens and things get pushed back as you all know. You'll just have to wait and see....

OK so you are not saying: "OK hold up. Feature freeze! Fix all the bugs. Modify everything so that it's playable and release it once it's totally playable.". Instead you are working on the mod untill you think: "OK we've put enough new shit into it that's finnished and once we reach a state in wich it's totally playable and not regressed like hell we compile it and put it online as a download." ?

Right.... xD
