Nexuiz looks great!!!

Hi all!

"old skool" QW guy here, I used to play DMC on steam, and also a little bit of CPMA. Congrats on the great work you've done on Nexuiz, it's looking gorgeous!

I'd tried out both Nexuiz and Warsow a few months back (I hope it's not taboo mentioning another game here) I was mildly intrigued by both but it seemed Nexuiz had clearly superior graphics and environment, whearas Warsow (IMO) had clearly superior physics and movement.

I heard from a friend of mine that you were thinking of providing CPMA-style movement as an option in Nexuiz I had to come in and give you major kudos and applaud this decision if it is true.

CPMA was an amalgamation of "best practices" based on input from an extremely loyal and collaborative team and player base. It used and improved-upon many gameplay aspects from other influences. I am here to encourage the Nexuiz team of developers or mod authors to continue development of the game in this spirit. I will certainly strongly support this game in any way I can when it gets "pro-mode" style movement options.

FYI: Even in CPMA pro-mode movement was an option (but of course the default). Server admins could also select from several other options such as OSP, VQ3, and original pro-mode. This would be my request for the Nexuiz team so as not to ostracize any current fans, but open the doors wide to new fans such as myself that love the game & gfx but need a different movement style than what's currently offered.

Thanks again everyone & continued success with your game!

Well its all personal taste. Many of those cpma/promode style games are hard to enter for newbies. I think Nexuiz is more friendly on that side although there are enough tricks to pull off which set experienced people apart from others. There are ideas to get more cpma like but currently the development focus is on other things. But for example here you can see people doing more then just thinking about it: http://www.forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?t=250

Its not taboo to mention other games.. Warsow still needs some time to be at the level Nexuiz is at currently so its a bit unfair to compare them. And as both aim at different things it might also be impossible to compare them. And to come back to the personal taste, i do not think that a game is superiour to an other just because it has more options.. Warsor has more jump-options but its maps are also made for that kind of style. Nexuiz maps are good for how Nexuiz is played right now, i'm not sure that just adding all those physic things means its automaticly better then.. Actually most of those things are just of the kind 'i do not want to change how i play, so i better get this game changed'
