Ello guys,

Ive been involved in warsow development (beta tester with a lot of ideas) for a long time now. This game took me away from CPMA. Its fast-paced, free and has a unique playing style.

The newest version will be released on Friday and is well worth a check if youre looking for something new to play. We recently did a lot of testing in CTF mode - and it played unlike any CTF game ive ever played. Eveyone whos touched that game mode things its great. This coming release is really going to be a step forward for the game.

Some changelog features I can remember off the top of my head :
/callvote timeouts are in
New models for almost every weapon
sv_fps increased in order to improve the smoothness of the game
change to the rocket prestep in order to make them appear cpma style
CTF mode has its own unique ruleset
retexturing of one map, addition of another one
djWheat as the announcer
enemy model / enemy skin commands
Lasergun (.. warsows lightning gun) included.
New armour protection rules.

There are ofcourse a billion bug fixes that I wont bother you with and probably a load of other features that I cant remember.

A little about the game : free, fast FPS. Based around collecting ammo for your weapons - when you pick up a weapon you are firing weak ammo, you must collect stronger ammo packs to get the most out of each weapon. Weapons may have different damage / slightly different behaviour depending on what ammo you use (for instance: the weak electrobolt (wsws rail) is a high speed projectile, whereas the electrobolt with strong ammo is instant hit.

Hope to see youse on the servers

yeah was playin some last night, not too shabby at all. the wall jumps arnt as gimmicky as i expected, they actually make the game faster and add a bit more skill to the movement. tis good stuff.

dont really like the models and the feeling of hitting someone - needs more crunch
rl could be faster as with most weapons, i think it looks great - just my first impressions

very good, needs improved netcode, and rules clarified.

The 10 sec CTF rule is interesting, but doesnt work well in public or pickup.

The 10sec CTF rule will be contentious for a while yet. There are lovers and haters. Id say wait for some bigger maps that include all the features of wsw ctf (timer-reset / freeze pedals that arent on the flag spot) before making my mind up.

A version of anti-lag will be implemented some time in the future.

The sounds (especially directional ones..) are pretty weak too. Most of the weapon sounds need remand and it must be easier to hear what diretion your enemy is coming from.

I love this game. Funky, fresh gameplay
