warsow

A fast-paced first-person-shooter game

Warsow is a free standalone first person shooter game based on the Qfusion 3D engine (a modification of the Quake 2 GPL engine), and aimed on the competitive scene, or the e-sports community. The base gameplay is focused around the art of movement; speed and tricks play a big part in the gameplay. Besides this, mapcontrol, aim, teamplay and fragging skills play their role too. Another twist in gameplay is the weapon system. Warsow has two firing modes for each weapon; by picking up a weapon, you will be equipped with the standard (weak) ammo for the weapon, but when you pick up an ammo pack, you will equip your weapon with special (strong) ammo. Weapons may have different damage or slightly different behaviour depending on which ammo you use. To keep the focus on competitive gaming, visibility is important in Warsow. Cel-shaded, cartoon-like styles on the maps, textures, and models combine for good visibility, suitable for competitive gameplay.
