I think you could find other sci-fi or fps game making teams if its still just a hobby, and merge, and make a sci-fi realistic (hard-sci-fi) tactical fps for close quarters and open environment as well.
If many people is put on this one project, then only a small time is needed by most, if people make separate projects, those projects have features wich are very similar, and those features would be implemented multiple times, so overall its wastefull.

Thanks again for your visionary input but why are you suggesting this? Are you seriously suggesting completely changing the concept of the game?
RE: merging with other gpl fps game making teams? - Mr. Bougo - 08-30-2012
There are subtle differences between all those games. I really don't see different communities agreeing to a merge because of that.

Tell me, have you played Xonotic at all? Have you at least took some time to familiarize yourself with the views of this community? If you did you'd know that Xonotic aims to be exactly the opposite of what you are suggesting.
This is a pretty good game, fitting into your suggestion, maybe try to play it instead? http://store.steampowered.com/app/209870/

WW anyone?

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like hard-sci-fi?
RE: merging with other gpl fps game making teams? - rocknroll237 - 08-30-2012
We could do soft-sci-fi?
RE: merging with other gpl fps game making teams? - edh - 08-30-2012
Categorisers gonna categorise.

IMHO there isn't enough background story in Xonotic to tell if the setting is hard or soft sci-fi.

xonotic is defiantly not hard scifi ... because it breaks a few pretty much all of the laws of physics ...

Anyone read Dragon's Egg? That's hard sci-fi (or at least one example of it)! =)

Hard sci-fi makes it sound like there should be a character with a moustache who's come to fix the plumbing for a bored housewife and mysteriously needs to take his boiler suit off because it's too hot...
The advertising for a hard sci-fi film might have something like this:
- Young's slits penetrated
- Double slits explored
- Non-stop coupled oscillator action
- 10 Tesla magnets going in solenoids deep
- High voltage probes short-circuiting shunts
- hard Neutron fluxing action!
