Nice comment. Long, but very good. You summed up all my feelings about the article. I'm printing it out and reading it in detail.

If the author posts again, I'd be very interested in what he says.

My comp is not very good and I think a big "low / high /medium" settings for Nexuiz can be good.

The gameplay i think is fine, If you like this type of gameplay. And I guest is a very good implementation. The weapons dont feel impresive, but have tricks, so this enhance skill.
Anyway I think is better to read this review as to search something to enhance on Nex, than to be angry or something.

That's so true. It's just hard at times to stay calm and objective.

Unfortunately this review does little to help Nexuiz improve. The author states that:

1. Nexuiz has gameplay that's the same as Quake 1. The problem is that this isn't true. If the author talked about what he liked and didn't like about Nexuiz's gameplay, it could have helped Nexuiz improve, but instead he states that Nexuiz is the same as Quake 1 and that gets us nowhere because it isn't true.
2. Framerates are really low. There is a problem with framerates in Nexuiz, as we all know, because of un-optimized player models due to the lack of an active modeler. However, the framerates really shouldn't be as low as stated in the review with a 6600GT, the video card the author has. I think it's a technical problem that I've read about in the forums that some people experience. If he would post some more details about the problem, and maybe contact some of the Nexuiz devs or post here on the Nexuiz forum, then maybe he could help improve Nexuiz.

I think that this review should include some more detailed, accurate, and constructive criticism.

i like this guy Fred187 -Personally I prefer Warsow (http://www.warsow.net/) and Paintball2 (http://digitalpaint.planetquake.gamespy.com/news.php). But that's mainly just because they run oh so much faster on my PC with graphics almost as good as these two games.

i mean, forget AA but Almost as good?! as nex!?? waah?
warsow is so generic and boring too... ahh

This is a really old review, though, and he was probably running 1.5 - which was pretty bad about slow load times, and the bot code made the game slow down a lot. This was all drastically improved for the 2.0 release, though.

Of cource Nexuiz has areas of needed improvments and yeah can be quite resource intensive but i really do not get those comparisons.. Nexuiz and its engine use very very advanced features that only a few other commercial !! games offer. Those can be disabled (currently not all at once in the menu but all its quite easy with prebuild config files or each one by it self in the menu. This will for sure be improved in the future) and it is explained in the FAQ for people that do not want to bother with single settings or the menu. Of course it will be slower then other games with the default settings as those just do not use as much (eye candy) effects.
Other comparisons about the gameplay are also very bad imho as all those mentioned games are rather unique. And the worst thing are those !#$% people trying the review something but only present their option as fact. Such a thing is not a review its just bashing something.

Uhh this thread was inactive for almost half a year.. it almost smells. But i still do not like the review a single bit for all those mistakes made in it. Maybe people should have used an other thread to discuss about problems with Nexuiz. Its way easier to address issues and fix them if NOT being compared or reminded about those in a unfair way . Oh of course having more free time would also be a good start

You see the reason why people do not search for hints in this 'review' is because its totaly biased, unfair und just bashing. We all know there might be things hidden deep inside of those but its just not fun to search for them with all that bullshit. If you had played Nexuiz for longer you would have noticed great improvments already and those will continue!
