Update: Since theres been no updates on the site concerning the engine im guessing its either dead or vaporware..

General Features Object-Oriented Design, Plug-in Architecture, Save/Load System:
Scripting LUA language (will be changed to Angel script)
Built-in Editors • Built on top of BF!2Engine
• Editor is only a GUI layer for engine
• Truly WYSIWYG system
• Plug in-based architecture
• Editing based on DCSG operations and polygonal meshes imported from external tools (3D Max, Light Wave or even TGA files as height maps)
• All geometry operations managed by BF!2Engine
• Game data contents stored in packages
• Built in light's profiling system: SV coverage visualization, Lights fill-rate coverage visualization, BF!2Studio assistance for fast detection of potentially dangerous places, Intuitive detection of burden lights, Statistics
• Powerful and easy to extend properties system
• Built in script editor: Syntax coloring, Full integration with properties system - fast and not difficult scripting
• Visibility manager
• Additional tools (BF!2Studio plug-ins):
• Backup repository system
• GUI DRT Editor
• Particles object editor
• Fonts generator
• Normal maps generator
• Textures importer for fast texture packages creation
• Textures renderer (Normal maps from hi-polygonal geometry renderer, Height maps (offset bump mapping) from hi-polygonal geometry renderer, Diffuse maps from hi-polygonal geometry renderer)
• Studio environment serialization: Serialization per level, Restored when level is loaded
• Improved GUI layer
• Advanced, visual materials editor (alpha state)
Physics Collision Detection, Rigid Body, Vehicle Physics: • NovodeX engine support
