I’m sure you all heard about it, i tried this open source (i think it’s open source) shooter game called xonotic and it is FUN as hell, it’s probably one of the best foss games i’ve ever played and i wanted to show this game off here
what are ya’lls thoughts of this game
It’s an impressive FOSS project, scracthes the fast paced Quake itch but not a lot of people have that these days.
Shout out to the crew who played on the HOCTF server. Had well over a 1000 hours on there.
Has great instagib servers with fast hooks! Absolutely love it. :D
Didn’t think I’d see a post about it without searching for one…
How.does.it.compare.to open arena?
I’m not too familiar with open arena, and it’s been a long time I played Xonotic (and it was not all that long), but
Additional movement, and better guidance.
Great project, great focus on movement and movement skill. Good guidance/tutorial IIRC.
It’s been a long time since I played it. I’m not very fond of arena shooters with weapon-collecting.
It’s been a while since I’ve played it but it is fun. I might just have to install it again
you should install it! it’s REALLY god damn fun, i might even try to play it tonight as i had it installed on my desktop pc running debian 12 stable lol
Xon rocks!
Was enjoying the game going through the campaign to learn how to play until one of the bots dropped an R slur at me for some splash damage. If the bots are doing it, can’t imagine what the actual community is like
never played around with the bots, the actual community seems rather chill but then again i have not played all of the servers and just the ones with the most active player count and i haven’t seen any fights in the chat and just casual conversations
but it has no xp, levels and drops??
How can I enjoy game if it doesn’t constantly tell me how to have fun??
I just played it for a while, runs well, looks good, is fun! In the past, I also played nexuiz and warsow online, they are similar The latest version of xonotic is in gentoo repositories 🥳
You may already know this, but Xonotic was forked from Nexiuz after the original code owner sold the GPLed code to some publisher to make a freeware game.
