LOC Veteran Posted August 28, 2009 Veteran Share Posted August 28, 2009 Warsow 0.5 is finally released after a long time of hard work and a few release candidates tested by YOU, the community. With version 0.5 Warsow reaches a major milestone in its development. Feature-wise and technically, Warsow is now more complete, stable and polished than ever!Some of the new features in Warsow 0.5: ? Weapon settings, armor settings and movement system have been tweaked and revised ? Weapons can stun players, making them unable to walljump for a short period of time after being hit ? Warsow 0.5 introduces AngelScript gametype scripting, inviting everyone to create their own custom gametypes ? Warsow 0.5 has new maps, textures, playermodels, engine features, visual effects... even a brand new weapon! ? Warsow 0.5 comes with new gametypes: Team Domination, Headhunt, Bomb & Defuse For more details, check out the changelog... That is, if you're not already downloading Warsow 0.5! Have fun Warsowians! Changelog Download Warsow 0.5 (Windows, Linux, Mac) Awesome game, game is awesome. Quake 2 engine powered, but amazingly good looking. Not quite as gorgeous as Nexiuz, but it's a different art style. But, this is a PRO game, very competitive. Have fun! Oh and download the map pack also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyJordan Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Why didn't you tell me about this game earlier? Oh, right. It was just released. :o :p It's been out for years. :p It's just that not many people know about it. The most popular free FPS games around are Alien Arena, and Quake Live.

The most popular free FPS games around are Alien Arena, and Quake Live. Alien Arena????? I like that game don't get me wrong, but there's never more than 20 people playing it. The most popular free FPS's around are quite clearly Urban Terror and Enemy Territory. Then you go down the Q2/3 engine list with Nexiuz, OpenArena (pretty much Q3 for free, without Quake Live lol) Tremulous, a whole bunch more probably I'm totally forgetting. :D Alien Arena is in the same boat as World of Padman. Great games, that are free, but no one plays them sadly. Oh and anyone who is going to play this for the first time, as I said in my original post....be prepared. Serious pro's play this game as it's a competitive game for alot of leagues. You will get railed and just destroyed until you learn how to play the game. And even then, yeah, alot of deaths I forseeeeeeee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PricklyPoo Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I played this for a couple days and was pretty good with railgun, since all I used to play is ut2004. (hitscan oriented) Everyone was complaining since they said I should learn to move well first, etc haha. The 1v1 is really fun / competetive but imo the larger maps are just stupid. People end up flying 1000 mph around the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOC Veteran Posted August 28, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted August 28, 2009 That's the point of the game. Trick jumping, wall jumping, rail jumping (wuh?), dodging, dashing, all that stuff. You can actually jump through corridors at amazing speed and go right around a corner and still keep going. It's insanely fast paced and seriously hard to play. That's why alot of pro competitive players play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOC Veteran Posted August 28, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted August 28, 2009 BTW, just thought I'd show you guys this bad boy. Probably the best frag movie I've ever seen (and I've seen like, a million lol) with great music and awesome camera work/timing. Really shows what Warsow is about (competition) after all. This is what you'll be getting yourself into if you play :D It's about 10 minutes long, but reallllly good. If the embed isn't working (it isn't showing up on my post for some reason) here is the direct youtube link (and sorry but it's the only working mirror I found of the video, it's over 2 years old now): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trag3dy Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 It looks fun but I really don't think I'm fast enough or patient enough to learn the skillz I need to compete. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mounty Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 1v1 servers? Wow I haven't seen those since quakeworld! :blink: Watched a few matches on youtube, looks interesting but waaay too frenetic for me ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PricklyPoo Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Oooo, cool vid LOC! These two represent the skill / speed involved in the game really well too. Well they show the actual gameplay when pros are playing, not just highlights, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIibAk9Njt8.swf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O776iJ_mdSM.swf I really liked the game, although it was more about movement then actual aim a lot of the time, since people would just spam rockets, etc. I would definitely play it if I could find some populated servers, the best ping I could get with 2 or more players on any server was about 130. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PricklyPoo Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Oh, and by railgun I meant EB lol. I always get the weapons in quake / UT / Warsow, etc mixed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
