Dystopia Version 1 is nearing completion. The team is putting the finishing touches on our full release, Version 1 will include a large number of improvements and additions from the Demo release. The best way to get a complete wrap up of what to expect from V1 is to listen to the interview which Lez from the Dystopia Mainframe conducted with Teddy, Team Dystopia's lead coder. You can grab it as either a 30meg ogg file or a 95meg mp3 file.

Cool, can't wait.
Will there be any other versions after version 1? More official maps (maybe some fan ones if they are good) sounds and bug fixes?
This sounds über-cool. I really want to test those new weapons and implants and see those new effects and maps!! I really love dystopia and been waiting for this. :)
Only 3 new maps ? Considering we are tired of all the other , this is'nt enought.
Anyway this still a great job , I can't wait to see how this V1 feels. If the 3 new maps are at least as good as dys_vaccine , it will be very interesting.
Sweet, first PVK2 and now this, kickass I say!
OMG cant wait!
Dystopia is by far the best mod for HL2 out right now, go ahead and try to say no!
