NEXUIZ: Free Quake/Unreal-type game

Here it is. It's a sweet game, if you ask me.

Here's where to get it for the PC:

Here's where to get it for the Mac:

It's no substitute for Halo, but it's actually pretty well done (graphically). The physics are a bit off and the gameplay is a bit fast, but it's quite fun.

This game supports both AI bots and online play. If you want to play me online sometime, my game rooms will always be "theycallmechad," and my game tag will always be "theycallmechad." See you there!

Actually looks pretty nice, is the netcode stable?

I'm not sure what "netcode" is, but I'll assume that since it uses the term"net" that you refer to its online play. It plays fine online, and I have no special connection.

You ought to give it a try. Even if you don't play onine, the bots are pretty good.

I've tried it, but the way the camera swivels when you sidestep makes me dizzy, so yeah. Plus the weapons seem messed up to me

Just lingo for how the clients talk to each other on the internet. I'm downloading it now, is there usually alot of rooms and people playing? Because that's usually what makes the games worth playing. (For me anyways.)

I just checked, and there are currently 64 games being hosted.

Looks pretty sweet, at least worth a try.

the scenary looks great but the player models look a bit weird when moving to me.

Have you drawn that conclusion from playing or from the pictures?

Also: It's FREE. I'm not looking for criticism on the game (especially when I didn't make it); rather, I'm just trying to share a sweet, free game to the community.

I had to turn off some of the bloom and stuff, my 6800XT (On Vista mind you) had trouble running it at a smooth frame rate.

However, this game is actually incredibly fun if you like the fast-paced shooters where you just pick up random guns and shoot, with minimal tactical planning needed.

This made me remember all the good times I had back when Q3F was new.

Rubber ducky!
