- ChangeLog

Warsow is a free standalone first person shooter game for Windows and Linux.
It is 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.

It is developed with a focus on fast-paced gameplay and trix (trick jumps).
The game comes with several gametypes and a complete Power-up System including Weak and Strong fire mode for each weapon.

The graphics are cartoonish with celshading-like_but_not_Manga style.

Oh man, this is awsome. Warsow is really fun to play every once and a while. I see they've redone all the models, too.

looks nice.

The worst thing about warsow is the different armor systems and different ammo types. I pretty much stopped playing after my 3rd game when I found out, "you need to pick up stronger ammo because the default is weak" :icon27:

but if everyone starts the same, what's the problem?

It's not very noobie friendly, that's what

[c0ld]

Very little about the game is noobie freindly with it being a lot like CPMA and all(but strafe jumping is easier to start for those with no quake experience). But going back to the strong/weak ammo thing, after awhile it grows on you. I was doubtful at first but I think after awhile you see that it gives you more creativity in map control. Fortunately Clan Arena is quite freindly for new comers and for once I can say this warsow in CA has become quite popular in north america!! There are one or two servers that are packed most of the time. Before it was just a few 1v1's and random pickups. lol

few issues with 0.3 though..
1)when you download a map from a server it names it incorrectly and gives you an error.. easy to fix, just close warsow and find the file and remove the ".tmp" part of it's name. Still a pain in the ass, especially on the race(think defrag mode) servers and the countless costom maps that are played on them.
2)I personally think strong rockets are simply overpowering now that the EB(rail) and riotgun(shotty) have been cutdown in usefullness.
3)STill no warsowTV!!!

having a blast with it though.

I'll usually be in Slims 0.3 Clan Arena server in Denver. alias being m1ndphuq


Oh yeah for a decent serverbrowser.. http://dpmaster.deathmask.net/?game=warsow

I played Warsow 0.32 for a bit and it definitely was good fun. Haven't really gotten into how the armor or ammo system works but tbh I'm not a big fan of the CPMA-type armor system. Guess I'll have to get some more experience before I can truely accurately judge the game's gameplay.

[c0ld]

Still not a fan of the weapon balance in warsow(0.32), the weapons in general feel really underpowered. hopefully they fix that in 0.4, which appears as if it will have a handful of nifty upgrades and features, new graphics, warsowTV and other misc stuff.
