Think they're already on it :
That was actually mostly me gushing like the massive fan boy that I am 
I shall mention it to the wordsmiths though. I'd wager Riggers has dabbled at some point...
(And here's me thinking you might be telling him off for linking or something!) Hope PH can get behind this and help make it happen.
I hope it goes well for ya OP, the Carma games were epic.
One thing though, please can you make the challenges / races less tedious? The game engine was great, but the handling very "arcade" - doing 10 laps of the point to point trial thing was more grind than fun IMO.
Also, IMO the "chance of salvage" version was more fun than the cash one - for cash you just end up grinding the powerups for 50k each, not racing around killing things. The original chance based thing meant you replayed for ages, and eventually got the right opponent, and with luck ended up with the car. Mechwarrior 2 was good for that, as well.
Oh, and don't let me buy it, or the wife will divorce me!

Thanks for all the fantastic positive comments guys. I'm about to bugger off on holiday for two-and-half weeks and will only have sporadic access to the 'net, so please forgive me if I go a bit off-and-on in replying to your questions.
Oh, and we were only having the "buy" vs "random chance of salvage" debate at work today! And yes, the salvage option came out on top.
Oh and we knew we cocked-up the missions in C2 bloody years ago. Sorry :-(

God I f
king hate the Daily Mail so much. They should be removed from the press/internet entirely for their utter utter bullst articles.
Back on topic though- I'm so glad this game is coming back. I used to play Carmageddon so much back in the day. Looking at some videos it still looks great, considering how long ago the initial release was. I can't wait to see a 'next-gen' version. As long as it's just as fun, I'll be happy.
Are there any plans to borrow some ideas from the hundreds of awesome mods released for Carma 2 back in the day? I fondly remember a kind of destruction derby mod, with some random pedestrians walking on the track. Downloading the ~50mb zip file took me about a week using a download manager with my 56k connection. Worth it though.

Why not make it player decideable?
