Warsow 0.31
<div class="IPBDescription">patch is finally here!</div>Go to <a href="http://www.warsow.net" target="_blank">www.warsow.net</a> for the changelog and download
For those who don't know, Warsow is a free Q2 based fps that's basically q3 cpma.
It has all the movement tricks from cpma, like strafe jumping, bunnyhopping, ramp sliding, rocketjumping, etc, plus it has a "walljump/dash" key that lets you string together cool movements, like bunnyhopping toward a wall and jumping at an angle to another ledge, or hopping to a pickup and bouncing straight back. It also has a two tier ammo system that adds another element to map control
It has duel, dm, team dm, ctf, race and ca (like rocket arena). It's basically what Quake 4 should have been.
So come play it!

Now that I've got it...damn. I'm lovin' it. Other than an initial crash(don't change resolution ingame, I warn ye!), smoothe sailing from there on out, with really well polished graphics. I'll be playing this during my downtime for sure <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
and for those who aren't good at the game, dont' get discouraged. There are three video tutorials out right now that will teach you basic movement, bunnyhopping and strafejumping, and they're adding more as soon as they finish them.
It makes me appreciate skill based movement and all the tricks and quirks of the quake engines.
Jebus I can't get enough of this. I'm finally settling in, getting my rocket jumps timed perfectly, getting more used to wall jumping...and actually being worthwhile to my team!
and for rocketjumps, if you mean going really fast off walls, the "trick" is to shoot at the wall when you're in the air between jumps, that's about it.
Oh also, everyone should check out their tutorial videos! It's at the top of www.warsow.net. There's 3 for now and they teach you strafe jumping bunnyhopping and walljumping. They're going to add more videos on ramp sliding, rocketjumping and applications of them in game.
Also type in "cg_showpressedkeys 1" in console to see what keys the person you're spectating is pressing. cg_showpressedkeys 0 turns it off
We play warsow here at lunch every day. The server starts up at 12:30 by a cron job and we usually get about 10-12 people ( including the managing director ) playing. win.
