A Deathmatch FPS, like Quake or Unreal Tournament. They seem to be picking up in popularity again and I'm glad for that. Anywho this one is amazing. If you've ever had a good time with such a game, TRY THIS ONE. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT

This game is an amalgamation of all the best things from this genre. It has bunnyhopping, circle jumping, air strafing, rocket jumping, the controls are super responsive and the whole thing is slick and handles like a dream. Additionally, the customizability is THROUGH THE ROOF. What other game have you played with an in-game HUD-editor? How about one that lets you edit your HUD in realtime in the middle of a match? huh? S'WHAT I THOUGHT. FOV is uncapped, the graphical auto-optimzation is the best I've ever seen, you can play in third person, you can change EVERYTHING. This game is everything that is right with PC gaming and somehow leaves behind all the wrong. I've yet to see a single error message and it's quite well optimized.

I honestly think that if enough people get into this game, and the weapons are tweaked more (after all, it's still in development), this game may well stand alongside Quake 3 CPMA for fast-paced, high-skilled FPS action. I may sound like a living commercial right now but that's just because I absolutely love this game.

Also it has integrated hookmod

as in not a mod

This game is fucking excellent

Though, I don't know which weapon does what since I haven't seen a popup display saying "You got the X" like in UT
Otherwise, fucking excellent.

Hey guys. I don't like this game anymore.

when I first wrote this I wasn't aware that this game basically took CPM and then lowered the skill ceiling on everything. If you like this game and want to play it, I personally think your time would be much better spent on Q3 CPMA or Warsow. I consider both to be superior in every aspect of gameplay.

but everything I said about the game having jaw-dropping levels of customizability is still true, it's still amazingly well optimized, and still has an in-engine HUD editor. And I still think all that is fantastic.

Really, though. Nearly everything they changed about CPM to make this game lowered the skill ceiling in some way. I really think this game is not worth playing. Sorry if I wasted anyone's time with this. And no disrespect meant to the creators, I just disagree completely with almost every decision you made in creating this game.
