Sorry but I'm going with s3cc0 on this... a promo video should show off a game, not make it look generic... the scenes simply show that Nexuiz has some lighting effect, but it comes across as slow and uneventful, with nothing to distinguish it.
A Nexuiz promo video should show off some intense action and speed. Get some laser jumps and mid-air shoot-outs in there, some nice nex shots, maybe an insane escape from 4 defenders with the flag, a key hunt capture, nailing someone with a rocket by predicting where they'll be, etc.
A promo video needs to make people go "holy fuck, I gotta get this game, that looks awesome".
Also, the beeps or whatever they are detract from the video.
I really don't mean to be over-critical here, but criticism in this case is better than uncritical acclaim.
