Nexuiz or Warsow

[esteel]

Hmm so far i'm not very surprised by the poll.. 8 to 1 for nexuiz Wonder why on a Nexuiz board

Well yeah i tried warsow two times but at both times the lack of servers and players did not really make it better.. yeah i know such things can change but i just like Nexuiz better. Some of the ideas in warsow are nice like the special jump key or the weak/strong ammo. But the more weapons, the more maps, nicer graphics (IF ENABLED *) of Nexuiz apeal more to me. I also like the health system in Nexuiz, the community and i guess the fact i'm in the credits

* Many many eye candy options have been disabled from release to release as people complained about Nexuiz being to resource hungry.. well tell that about d3/q4 and consider the fact Nexuiz is not backuped by millions of dollars..
I really want to know what people expect.

i think nexuiz would be great with the warsow movement.
nexuiz as it is now is just a remake of quake with to many weapons and frustrating loading times.

Sorry either you have not really played quake or nexuiz
IMO they have nothing more then the FPS theme and 2 bits of code in common

maybe right...
i didnt really give nexuiz a chance but what are the differents in movement then?
the loading times really make my furious

Well you never said that only the movement is different. Nexuiz is a tad faster then q1, has double jumps, till 1.5 no bunny hopping, you can use more the just two guns for trickjumps, actually one of the two starting weapons is there for this.
The health system lets you collect as many health/armor as you want, but they will "rot" after some time so you have to keep moving and collect more. But the health also regenerates when below 100. You can make all projectiles explode when firing at them.
The dual-use weapons are in general more like in unreal then in quake.

Is it possible your computer is not too fast? Nexuiz should load quite fast but i think its compiling the shaders when loading the maps. I have no idea if those shaders could be cached or something..

mkay generally I'm no friend of unfair discussions, but imo cervix only registrated here to post that poll just to get warsow public to the nex gamers.

ok maybe nexuiz is kinda cool
but still you really need walldodges and a little more hopping control.
and its so dark...

i like the health system tho

You just have to do your settings right . You know its hard to find right defaults for a game.. brightness and stuff is harder then others because everyone has differnet settings for their monitors. And most importanly most maps look better if they are darker, Nexuiz is still strong with eyecandy
Try those settings:
set "v_hwgamma" "1"
set "v_gamma" "2"
set "v_brightness" "0"
set "v_contrast" "1.2"

I do not think we want Nexuiz to become a better warsaw.. Nexuiz is fine as it is. Some aspects get tweaked like bunnyhopping. It will be added with 1.5.1. Its just as you said, having such things makes it hard for a newbie to join the game. Nexuiz has its tricks and useful stuff but in general its more balanced i think without too many of those tricks. Also puts more weight onto map knowledge and strategy.

I tested out warsow a while ago and wasnt impressed ,
it came across as a Cartoonish verison of Quake 3 .

Nexuiz is definaly the best Free FPS game in my view

What? Do they? Dont everyone use Pantone calibration of their monitors? Should be built-in
