Did they give you any specifics on what language to use, or any sort of training before-hand?

well quake live is doing something alike (released a week or two ago)

you had to dl an applet of 6 mb and install that, after that it at runtime downloads maps for you

I did something like that few years ago, but it was mostly writing a common piece of code then a netscape plugin and an activex component that uses the common piece of code...

Wait - you have to use DirectX in a web based app? The only way I could imagine that being done is with a lot of hackish type things. Do you mean ActiveX?

Who is asking you to do this?

You might consider working with something like InstantAction or use Flash/ActionScript.
