Nexuiz (380Mb)
Jaz posted this over a year ago, but it became buried within the forums. I though it would be a good idea to post it in the free games project as well togther with more info, videos and screen captures (provided by the developer). You’ll find several games via the first download link that includes some multiplayer only games like War Rock (550Mb) (and the game does rock as well), Warsow (180Mb) and Gunz: The Duel (440Mb) and F.E.A.R Combat (1.8Gb). The second link takes you to the home page of the developer and the final one is a sourceforge link that has several versions of the game available. It's available for PC. Mac and Linux.
Nexuiz is a fast paced 3d deathmatch game project (similar to Unreal Tournament) created online by a team of developers called Alientrap. It is available for download for Windows, Mac, and Linux (all the same archive). There is a small Single player element to the game which is why I’ve included this in the project, though I have already posted details of a few multiplayer only games that are free recently (e.g. D-Day Normandy)
The first version was released May 31st 2005, released entirely GPL and free over the net, a first for a project of its kind. Since then it has been downloaded over 1.5 million times, and the game is still being updated and developed, currently at version 2.5 and new releases being developed.
The game play is deathmatch with the most excessive possible speeds and weapons, giving incredibly intense fast paced action. Along with deathmatch, there are multiple game modes such as team deathmatch, capture the flag, domination, and many mutators and weapon options like rocket arena and instagib. The user can fight through the single player campaign, going through over 20 levels, or play online.
Nexuiz is based on the Darkplaces engine, built on OpenGL technology. The darkplaces engine is an advanced Quake1 based engine developed mainly by Forest "LordHavoc" Hale, who has been working with the Quake1 engine for many years. A few of Darkplaces main features are Quake3bsp support, realtime lighting and shadowing, new particle effects, advanced menu system, and Md3 model support.
