I never heard of Nexuiz until yesterday, when I read the news about the sale of the engine and domain name on my favourite tech site.
I've played Quake 1,2 and 3 years ago and played Q2WF and Q3WFA in competition for a while. When I read about Nexuiz I wanted to check it out and I concluded that it could be kinda cool to play this, because it looks like it has the old skool Quake feel.
I don't think I will try Nexuiz, but I wanna try Xonotic as soon as it releases. So I will visit frequent to see how it progresses.
I hope the release won't take as long as the release of HL2 Episode 3
