 1) Convert to 64-bit (to allow more than 4gb RAM to be used)
 2) Multi-thread the engine for up to 4 cores
-3) Solve stuttering problem (likely due to LuaJit. Solution would be to upgrade it to newest version and then rewrite all the lua files to conform with it)
-4) Solve problem with COP sometimes not loading correctly upon launch on some systems as well as not always exiting properly and still running as a background task.

 5) Get BugTrap to spit out better error logs
 6) Solve problem with stealth mechanics
-7) Fix shadow bug in DX10 where a big world shadow appears and disappears depending on what angle you are in relation to the sun
-8) Eliminate usage of precompiled shaders so they can all be modified at will like in SOC
-9) When DX12 comes out, add DX12 renderer (doesn't sound like it has much new graphics-wise, but it is crazy faster than DX11)
-10) Allow more than 2 ammo types per weapon without screwed up/missing UI ammo count
-11) Allow environment mapping for weapons not on DX8 (I found the file responsible, just need someone to implement it)
-12) Allow .seq files to be given a stop frame/point (animated blood puddles underneath bodies anyone?)
-13) Allow wallmarks to have bump and bump# usage (for glossy blood and for bullet-holes that do things like take small chunks out of cement)
-14) Better tessellation in DX11/12. Modify current method plus implement artist controlled displacement mapping or something else that allows more control over usage
-15) 3D shell casings (I know this can sorta be done in only LUA, but it would be simpler just to hardcode it)
-16) Replace current shadowing system with one with better antialiasing and less "noise" when a character is in an interior and moving around

 SDK
-1) Less errors and crashes, loads of these.
-2) Visible level-loaded decals and the ability to see decals that aren't just 'wallmarkblend' type.
-3) 'Undo' function that doesn't take minutes to do and actually works properly.
-4) Better performance
+1) Get SDK compiled with Visual Studio (=> get rid of Borland trash)

 Weapon related changes
-1) Add ability to give weapons like the Abakan the ability to specify a fire mode where they fire at a different RPM (Abakan fires 2 shots at 1800rpm. The new AK-12 fires 3 shots at 1,000rpm. I'm not adding an AK-12, just giving an example).
-2) Make pistols more useful somehow. Maybe make a "quick pistol" key or something.
