General Game Discussion / Re: Was idea of 3D models for Fonline abandoned?

A long time ago someone made FOnline server for a while that used all combat, mechanics and sprites from Fallout Tactics.
It worked perfectly, surprisingly.
Not sure why no one else hasn't simply done the same. Better than working on entire new 3D assets for entire game when you have great looking assets from game that looks very similar as fallout 1/2 that are fully finished so as to not be in need of further development (more work needed for running animations on black guy for example) yet looked good and very appropriate, and did not clash with the rest of the artwork.
It's very funny and sad to have all that 3D work wasted when all the work necessary had already been done and professionally too.
edit: Come to think of it, wasn't the reason that Tactics server stopped was because of a DMCA from Bethesda?
