Xonotic mentioned in Ars Technica forum. - sortale - 04-20-2014

Hi, I am trying to promote opensource game in Ars Technica forum. Ars is a publication devoted to technology that would cater to the "alpha geek".

I made a list of opensource game in one of their forum, and mentioned Xonotic. would you mind checking to see if my description of Xonotic. is correct?

here's the link: http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1240969

you are welcome to try other games on the list and participate in the discussion.

Hmm is Alien Arena open source? I kinda like it when I was evaluating Nexuiz. Open Arena and other games.

Description of xonotic is correct also, xonotic is the fastest fps around

Normal games aren't like that, but i bet it will be pretty hard to get crazier than that

Also i recommend lipsofsuna in the RPG section

Tremulous was renamed to Unvanquished, you should try it.


those video should have a disclaimer saying "real playing speed not sped up"
