It's not "out of the box" solution, but with some work it can be used, I 
guess. Regarding "tri soup" - that's ok for OPCODE.

I have tried using ODE for vehicles in a tri-soup world -
http://jammy.sourceforge.net/2003/games.php - and with some (actually, quite 
much) of tuning it can work reasonably. But that's for vehicle, where every 
jitter is nearly a catastrophe; for FPS it might be easier.
