Nexuiz

For anyone craving some old school FPS multiplayer action.
www.nexuiz.com
I've been following the progress of this game for a while. Looks really promising, and I can tell you after playing a few rounds, it's quite fun, and surprisingly well done for an open source FPS.
From their site:
After many years of development, Nexuiz has been released to the public! Nexuiz is a fast-paced, chaotic, and intense multiplayer first person shooter, focused on providing basic, old style deathmatch. The 1.0 release weighs in at 161MB, and includes 17 maps, 28 playable characters, and 10 music tracks. It is cross-platform, and supports Windows and Linux (x86 and x86_64), with Mac support coming soon (patch to be released in the next few days).
All of Nexuiz is licensed under the GPL, including the core engine, the textures, maps, sounds, and models. It is extremely modder friendly. Because of its GPL license status, it can be included in any Linux distros or packages and is entirely free.
Nexuiz is built on the power of the Darkplaces engine, which is a heavily modified version of the original Quake. Darkplaces features realtime lighting and stencil shadows, bumpmapping, gloss, bloom, and totally rewritten network code that supports up to 64 players on a single server. While quality gameplay was our primary goal, it's graphics technology and artwork allows the game to compete with the current quality of commercial games.
Any online deathmatch fan will instantly feel at home with Nexuiz' weapons and movement style. The fast server browser and quick loading time allows you to jump right into a game at a moments notice and play a quick game.

Downloaded it. Will play tommorow after SATs and bitching out my boss. I should also mention that someone eating at the country club looked exactly like Vince Neil. That's almost as scary as the SS of the game.

Open source games can be pretty rad. Ill have to check this one out soon.
I spent many many hours playing freeciv a few weeks ago which was a good time since I used to be a big Civilization freak.

Sounds good. Haven't played deathmatch in ages.
Did they really have to call it 'Nexuiz' though? I mean, really...

I was a little disappointed. Nothing special, but then again most free things aren't that great.
