I play Warsow online and enjoy it immensely. I was wondering if any forumites besides SprintToTheFinish (who acknowledged it in an earlier topic) even knew what it was.
Warsow is an open source first-person shooter for PC, Mac and Linux based on the open-sourced Quake II engine. For more on the technical side see the Wikipedia page.
It's a free game that is criminally underrated, not to mention almost completely unadvertised. Some people find it too hectic but if you get into it it can be a great game, especially as the slogan on the website ('Respect and Sportsmanship') seems to be held to very well by the community as a whole.
If you've got a good connection, I encourage you to try the client. It's a relatively small download (~260MB) and the game will run on even quite old machines. Graphics scale very well. Also, I play regularly on mobile broadband with few lag issues, so it obviously doesn't need a terrible amount of bandwidth.
If any of ye do play, it'd be fun to have a bit of a game sometime. I'm PROGRAM_IX on there as well, but there are no registered Gamertags or anything - you just pick a name.
Edit: What a fool I am. I never added a video of gameplay. Here's one from an expert: YouTube

Warsow: Am I alone?
Often outnumbered, never outpunned.
Note: in Ireland 'ye' is used as the plural of 'you'. It rather neatly avoids confusion online.

Re: Warsow: Am I alone?
I've played Warsow a few times and its okay.
It's just another Quake ripoff to me.
When it comes to games like that I prefer Nexuiz over Warsow.
or even better, the real thing

Re: Warsow: Am I alone?
I played it once or twice. I've never been a huge fan of pure twitch-based deathmatch, so it didn't really appeal to me.

Re: Warsow: Am I alone?
Fair enough. I play QUAKE LIVE too. Nexuiz eh? Think I've played that one, but I must check. Anyway, I was just wondering what the forum thought.

Nexuiz is good. It's at least on par with, if not better than Warsow, and not every other person has an aimbot.
