So I picked up Nexuiz last night since it was only $10, and it's definitely an interesting game. I haven't had this much fun playing a MP shooter in a very long time. It's fast paced, the dynamic mutators keep you on your toes, and pretty to a fault. Since it's CryEngine 3 it looks great, but I've actually turned down the lighting to the minimum (and still feel bad about it) - the contrast between light and dark is so great on outdoor maps that you can't see anyone.
I need to get in more practice with the bots before I go online though. I still don't have a feel for all of the weapons, though the lackluster weapon HUD is partially responsible for that.
i played the beta on steam for a little, after that i decided i wasnt buying it.
Compared to the xonotic, theres just too much crap going on. Those stupid spring things are everywhere, especially in that outdoor level, didnt like the multipliers either.
It was an OK game, but compared to xonotic, it just wasnt as fun. Plus Xonotic is free, so it doesnt take much convincing to get people to play.
After hearing about how nexuiz kinda sold out, and the result is this game for 10 bucks, that is really not any better, i dont want to buy it out of principle.
