The new behavior of weapons forces an entirely new learning curve and strategy each time a new release appears.
Rocket launchers no longer are a superior weapon. Direct hits or floor shots at targets feet do nothing any more. Add the tracking rockets to screw up the fire rate and you have a weapon that guarantees death.... To the shooter, not the target.
Stupid fireball is a total waste of bits. Machine gun and shotgun lethality bounces up and down with each release, the nex is also inconsistent.
All these things add up to a major frustrating learning curve each new release.
I used to practice with bots, and could beat 5 or 6 bots on any level I cared to train on. Same number of bots same bot skill and I come in dead last.
Ok, I admit I suck. Lets just get that out of the way. But the hardware is the same, I'm the same, but the score is way way different.
You shouldn't have to learn the game all over each release. Some consistency would be nice.
The degree that .2 changed the game over 2.5.1 is way out of line for a point release.
I actively seek out 2.5.1 servers to play on these days.
Retirement for now

Is some of the key ingredients to the open sauce of life/code.
In other words, resistance is futile. More bluntly put:

Kojn's temporary retirement does not seem to be based on changes in the game, so ICEBIKE's rant doesn't quite fit here 
Although I have not yet played 2.5.2 because of my own PC problems, I do know Nexuiz is like a constantly reshaping mutant thing that will probably never be stable gameplay wise, ever. I say it's quite a good thing

when you get a new computer, you should install nexuiz OS on it ;P
Why has a developer ever needed any reason other than "it looks bloody awesome?"

Thats NexiOZ you nuub!
HOF:
<Diablo> the nex is a "game modification"
<Diablo> quake1 never had a weapon like that.
<Vordreller> there was no need for anything over 4GB untill Vista came along
<Samua>]Idea: Fix it?
<Samua>Lies, that only applies to other people.
