First Person Shooters (Games)

Submission + - Warsow 0.4 released

Submitted by sepht
sepht writes: After 8 months of development, Warsow, a free software first-person shooter PC game, has released their next major release. After a fairly subjective article proclaimed Warsow the best community-developed open source shooter game, it seems the project might have something to prove. Major additions include a HLTV-like spectator server called WarsowTV, bump-mapping, ingame tutorial demos, new maps, new gamemodes, a new twist on CTF, a MacOSX client, and more friendly movement. Downloads links are here.

Submission + - Free software FPS games compared (linux-gamers.net)

Submitted by
An anonymous reader writes: Linux-gamers.net has posted a well-encompassing, although harsh, comparison of free software shooters. While lengthy, it compares seven open source shooter games. Although the article can be a bit hard to follow at times, few have gone to compare and carefully examine the genre before. The author ranks the games in the following order (best to worst): Warsow, Tremulous, World of Padman, Nexuiz, Alien Arena, OpenArena, and Sauerbraten. In making these choices, it claims claims to use gameplay, design, innovation and presentation as criteria and includes a short history of free software shooters in the introduction.
