    In fairness, that's not correct. Bunny hopping refers specifically to using jumping to exploit flaws in movement code to move very quickly.

    Jumping around for no very good reason is not the same thing.

    Ok, ok. I get it. You're right, I was being a little(a lot) overzealous.

    Headshots and machine guns, they aren't complete gimmicks. What I was trying to get across in the OP was that this game is meant to be fast and unrealistic. There are a lot of new players who get into the game and start complaining about it being too fast, etc., and I was trying to head that off. If you like your games to be bigger and slower than Quake then stay away. I don't mean anything bad by that, but if that's how you like your games -- and that's fine with me -- then this game probably won't be for you.

    If, however, you're looking for something old-school, but also leaps and bounds beyond, then this game is right up your alley.

    And I am an elitist. I try and curb it, but sometimes it can't be helped. I'll cool off a bit.

    My offers still stand. Come and give it a try. You'll probably get a kick out of it, at least.

    The current gametypes are CA(rockets arena), DM, TDM, CTF, Duel(1v1) and instagib.

    Look, I don't mean to be a prick, even though I am sometimes. I just happen to prefer a certain type of FPS. I'm sorry again for any offense.

    :) Now we can be friends.

    I saw this thread on the front page, it looked somewhat intresting. Then I look at the replies.

    WTF?

    It's like someone yelled "LET'S LYNCH THIS MOTHERFUCKER!" and then everyone jumped in.

    This whole thing makes me somewhat ashamed to even be a member of this forum community, that we're this abrasive and dick-ish.

    It's an old school shooter, I don't see anyone making claims otherwise, if you don't like that then GTFO.

    edit: I am now going to download the game and give it a fair evaluation. If I am truly disappointed with it I will come back to this thread and demand Page's first borne...but only after having actually tried it.

    And, about machine guns, I only meant them as a gimmick -- really, I didn't even mean it as a gimmick, more as a THING THAT ISN'T IN THIS GAME -- in the sense that there are many games now that just give you 40 variations on the same thing (machine guns and rifles) and then expect you to just have at it.

    Warsow is the NEXT STEP in OLDSCHOOL style FPS games. It has NOTHING to do with CS, GR:AW, R6, BF or ET type games and I never meant to compare them directly. They shouldn't even be considered the same genre at this point.

    I don't know, I just tried it and really didn't like it. I actually find GunZ to be much better. A more deep, well-polished version of GunZ where we can host our own games would be pure win.

    It is also nothing at all like GunZ and was never meant to be. The only comparable games are the Quake series and maybe a few of the UT games, and Painkiller, though not so much that.

    And what the hell is wrong with bunny hopping anyway? Can you even define the term?

    To me, bunny hopping usually refers to jumping around each other real close and shooting wildly. I hate that. I can't stand closing in to someone to finish him off, and then he just hops around me aimlessly. Picture a war in your head where soldiers circle their foes and jump their own height around shooting below.

    Well, I hate to say it but your definition is incorrect. Bunny hopping is a very specific movement in which you hold forward and jump while using your mouse to air control around obstacles without losing any movement speed. Which is different from strafe jumping, which is holding down forward+left_right and jumping while angling your mouse to build up speed exponentially. Jumping around like and idiot is just jumping around like an idiot and it has no place at all in Warsow.

    Eh, this isn't my first thread, by far. And I was all "next-gen fps" and "revolutionary" ONLY IN TERMS OF OLDSCHOOL FPS'. I'm sorry if you guys didn't catch that, but my OP was just meant to keep people who don't like that kind of game away, not say that any other kind of game is bad.

    Edit: The only edits I made to the OP were that the game is free and that I changed the topic title.

    Something I've noticed is that until you have an avatar or sig with a pic, people never recognize you.

    Also, having the game link in your sig, and posting this thread, makes it seem like you just joined. Not saying its true, just what went through my brain.

    I've tried it out.

    It's basically Quake 3 with a bit of wall jumping added. The gameplay is not as fluid as Q3 to me. I used to play Q3 Rocket Arena all the time, and this isn't as good as that. The weapons are the same, just with different names.

    Looks nice though. The cel-shading is done well, and of course it runs smooth as silk.

    Some things about Warsow you all should know, because the OP seemed to give the wrong impressions for some people:

    * It's open source. Which means it's free.

    * It's a 1 on 1 competitive duel game. That's the player base it caters to almost exclusively.

    * It's peers are Quake 3 CPMA and Quake 4 Max. Not UT2004.

    * It offers enough novel gameplay mechanics (Dual ammo types, movement) to set it apart from its competitors.

    If you're not into 1 on 1 FPS, then this game probably isn't for you. Its closest equivalent, as people have noted, is CPMA, so if you like CPMA, then this game is worth a shot because it's new and exciting.

    I know your kind. I saw some of you play Quake 3 when it was released with absurd FOV, textures down to a minimum gray blur and reducing each and every setting that brought down graphical quality so you could bunnyhop better. Then the mods with words like "Perfect" and "Elite" in the title came out and you played nothing but that.

    Quite frankly, you're a subgenre of a subgenre. Not many of you around here.

    No, not trying to diss you here. Just sayin' that 98% of the forums don't consider Warsow either deep or epic or revolutionary.

    Warsow is the NEXT STEP in OLDSCHOOL style FPS games. It has NOTHING to do with CS, GR:AW, R6, BF or ET type games and I never meant to compare them directly. They shouldn't even be considered the same genre at this point.

    I know your kind. I saw some of you play Quake 3 when it was released with absurd FOV, textures down to a minimum gray blur and reducing each and every setting that brought down graphical quality so you could bunnyhop better. Then the mods with words like "Perfect" and "Elite" in the title came out and you played nothing but that.

    Quite frankly, you're a subgenre of a subgenre. Not many of you around here.

    No, not trying to diss you here. Just sayin' that 98% of the forums don't consider Warsow either deep or epic or revolutionary.

    Damn, I'm an easy read, huh? ;) I guess I can't expect many people to take the game as seriously as I do, and -- to be frank -- I don't take it that seriously; I just have a level of play that I'm used to. What I wish that I could impress upon those of you who don't know about already is the sheer awesomeness of being able to pull the tricker moves off. Just running around a map by yourself can be a rewarding experience, and not in some snobish way. It just happens to be very, very fun. After a while you can almost feel yourself moving through the game. Maybe that's a little hard to understand, but try watching a few movement movies, even ones on youtube, and you may get an idea of how cool it is.

    people do that so they can see better. But it is crazy how some people want to turn off almost everything you can think of. It does help a lot though I must admit in the visibility department.

    I'm not much of an FPS gamer, but I know exactly what this game is about.
    My friend used be part of the Half-Life "Adrenaline Gamer" scene, which was all about insane movement.
    I witnessed it, and seriously... some of the things those guys could do was off the fucking wall. D:

    They were able to build up cumulative momentum to the point where they were actually flying through the maps, literally not touching the ground. They could traverse an entire map in seconds, and catapult themselves into a tiny window with perfect accuracy; all while scoring frags so fast you can barely see it happening. :shock:

    It's certainly pretty interesting to watch, and I have no doubt that this style of play is "deep". It's deep in the same way a game like Tetris or Super Monkey Ball is deep; there's practically no ceiling to the level of skill you can reach.

    Actually, I would say it's an evolution of classic platformer gameplay as much as it is a step forward for shooters.


    Before I was wondering why there's no FPSes made specifically for this kind of momentum-based gameplay. I guess Warsow is it! :) I wish those guys luck, because although I don't have the commitment needed for this kind of game, it does look cool and it would certainly make a more interesting spectator 'e-sport' than World of friggin' Warcraft :P

    So I was interesting in this because you know, it was free and sounded like a good hour or two of fun.

    After reading the thread creaters comments I am going to assume that the people that play this game are like him and I am never coming to come close to this game.
