Nexuiz on Maximum PC cover disk

[Irritant]

Hey just thought I'd let you all know, while I was out in the mountains on vacation this week, I picked up a copy of a magazine called "Maximum PC", (stupid wallmart was out of PC Gamer), and saw that Nexuiz was on the cover CD. Not only was it included, but it was the featured game on it, with a screenshot printed on the front, and the description "A free, phenomenal fps".

Oh, and that magazine is pretty cool too...

Cool, thanks for letting us know!

I think nexuiz was mentioned in pc gamer. Pretty sure it was a few months ago.

What version does of nexuiz is on the disc?

Wow, something like this is bound to attract more people into Nexuiz.

Well there was a surge in player numbers but i'm not sure if its a direct consequence of that magazine. Would be nice however.
That would explain the bad ctf games i had the last few days. Many new players that still need to learn what to do and how to be helpful . But yeah i know ctf is hard for a new player.. i just wish i had more patience when actually playing

IIRC the American Maximum PC is published by Future Publishing who make just about every magazine in Britain. If they put something on the cover of one of their magazines it generally gets on the cover of half of their other magazines so we could see Nexuiz everywhere pretty soon.

esteel: probably the best thing to do, even if you are in a clan, is to come up with strategies for each map and explain it to the nubs, however painfull it might be.


If I'm pissed though (did this once on a splidfisk server) I will flame the hell out of noobs, and they'll just say things like "yup, just newbish me". Most of the time though I'm pretty helpfull.

Thanks for the heads up irritant, I made sure to go out and grab myself a copy!

Sadly, there is no mention of the game at all inside the magazine, only on the insert page and CD, so no review or anything, just a one paragraph description and link to the nexuiz website and the game on the disk. Version 2.2.2

And for reference, the PC Gamer mention was in the September 2006 issue (once again, no review, just props).
