It's been a while since I've posted here, but I've just re-installed Nexuiz (it's been a long time!) and I can say that the main difference between Xonotic and Nexuiz is that Nexuiz seems to have much more personality.
I think it would be awesome if some modellers could re-do some of the older models from Nexuiz and put them into Xonotic, while making subtle changes so that they suit the general style of the other models like Erebus. This is the most important thing imo.
I'd also like to see more map makers focus on creating maps that look far more basic visually. One of the reasons Nexuiz has more personality is because many of the maps aren't too fancy (could be a nostalgia thing) and while I'm all for amazing visuals in Xonotic, I think it would be nice if there were SOME maps that were made to purposely look dated (and I'm not talking about maps with ultra-basic textures or maps that look like Warsow)... These maps could be supplied on certain servers or as part of a 'new but retro' map pack.
Nexuiz wasn't afraid to throw in a load of maps that differed a lot visually. Atm, the maps packaged with Xonotic all have a consistent look and while some may like this, I'd like to see more variety, not just in looks but in gameplay too...
Run Nexuiz 2.5.2 and Xonotic at the same time, switch between them and you'll see what I'm saying.
