the oct tree is the reason why we can have so many bricks and have them work so well

a system that makes certain faces on bricks hidden by other bricks not render
it basically helps reduce lag a LOT
kompressor also helped with shadows and shaders and low-level engine stuff
he's been a developer since the beginning of retail

I feel kompressor does not get enough credit if I have been playing since 2009 (and demo even earlier) and have never heard of him.
Also, engine needs facelift/replacement, so many issues with it.
EDIT: So is any1 gonna tell me how to connect this with steam?

i guess it doesn't count that there are now shaderized graphics and the ability to have 256k bricks that are defined using a custom format does it
