Looks very promising, but like Jomo said, the engine choices of all of these community projects are a bit questionable. ETQW? Crysis? They may suit some basic needs up front, but none of those games have the vibrant/massive online community you need to allow a mod to really take off.
If I were you guys, I would take a good hard look at the source engine. Like it or not, Steam would be a dream come true for a shit ton of free exposure.
As it stands, even if you make a fantastic game, half of this community will shit on it, a quarter of it won't even try it and no one on the outside will either know or care about what you've created.

Looks good. Keep it up. As others have said, I would take a look at Andrew's physics description and try to match T1 physics as much as possible. Skiing in the video looked too fast from the start (no buildup of speed) and the jets were a bit too powerful. Just suggestions.
There are other engines out there that have a lot of the functionality already built into them but allow you to edit the code.. Add new shaders, optimize netcode, etc...... Since it looks like that team has 3-4 actual C++ coders, it may be a better idea.
I demand a playable alpha with raindance as the map.
Do it now!
VUG has lawyers, and a lot of spare cash.
VUG did NOT make Raindance...
No but they own the imaginary intellectual property rights. They bought the company that bought the company that hired people who made it.
VUG didn't make a lot of things, but they own a lot of things.
until those things begin to generate profit which VUG doesn't care about enough to explore.
They don't care enough to make profit from their possessions, but they don't want other people to, either. Part of that is because, if other people do and VUG doesn't say anything, it takes away part of their ownership.
