Basic basics, or what I wish someone had told me half a year ago

Can't comment too much on weather it's good or bad since I've not played too many matches with it. (I kinda dislike it, but people disliked new movement which I liked so I understand there are trade-offs for all players). Personally I find it slightly irritating such big gameplay changes can come without any information about design discussion and testing feedback. Being quite inactive for some time I've come to the conclusion that a big part about difficulty of picking Xonotic up for beginners is in fact that the game changes 24/7 and much much info is outdated. Contrast that with QuakeWorld which I managed to start playing pickup TDMs in just a few hours of gameplay due to all info on the web being up-to-date.
