@Epifire: If you really want to work on games, then you should learn at least one of these: Unreal Engine v4, Unity 3D v5.x, CryEngine V. All of them are free for everyone. About Raven: Wolfenstein (2009) and Singularity (2010) were their last standalone games, nowadays they are only working on Call of Duty multiplayer - these games are built on a custom engine(s).

I remember the engine being a problem for http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/10003-so-what-are-you-working-on-right-now/page-262#entry377040 although that was more in relation to mapping.

Brendon Chung is developing Quadrilateral Cowboy in the id Tech 4 engine. I've even seen him using Darkradiant! I think it just goes to show that, yes, there are some newfangled engines out there, but you can still create good, meaningful content without them.
