rocknroll237 {l Wrote}:Which do you guys think is better: Xonotic or Red Eclipse?
Personally, I think that both games have their own unique and interesting features and are hard to compare. That said, I still prefer Xonotic's graphics and technical side, but I think that Red Eclipse has superior multiplayer and much more enjoyable level editing.

qreeves {l Wrote}:More often than not, I will make up place holders (and programmer art isn't pretty). A great example of this are the "piano" hit effects everyone complains about; I made them almost 7 years ago (it is a glockenspiel and bass drum with echo and bass enhancement applied) and nobody has ever made anything to replace it. Don't like something? You can probably do better than me, so give it a shot and let us all decide if its better than what we have

You should post that as a sticky. Encourage people to contribute.

The main issue I have with RE is that it is so slow paced, it feels like players are crawling through quicksand haha! I haven't played RE in quite a while now cause it just frustrates me going round maps so slowly, there is no real means of using movement skills to gain/out skill (movement-wise) to speed to catch up with someone far away.

Ulukai {l Wrote}:Xonotic ... the jumping around like an idiot all the time is unnecessary imo.
fawstoar {l Wrote}:I like both RE and Sauerbraten because of the aforementioned enhanced speed and agility that is relatively unique to each. I play them because they still manage to have the best of those two qualities: the breakneck speed of Sauer and the beautiful parkour mechanics of Red Eclipse.
PSYKORGASM {l Wrote}:Like I said, both pro's and con's, all comes down to personal preference. The only game I've played for consistently for about 5 years is Warsow, ICA, CA & Race is where my heart is :P
Flick shooting whilst blasting round at 2000 quake speed units is what I love! Life in the fast lane
qreeves {l Wrote}:And to think, it used to be slower. It is slightly on purpose though, as I am not a fan of Sauerbraten's breakneck speeds.

fluxord {l Wrote}:As for RE, I like its speed but making the impulse boost moves faster/stronger could help for a faster pace, or a "Speed boost" skill (a skill system ) maybe...

Don't confuse "Agility" with "Speed" either, there's a reason I chose the former word when describing RE
fluxord {l Wrote}:IMO, Bunny-hoping & weapon-shooting-impulse to gain speed is fully retarded.
I strongly dislike any of those pseudo-racing-FPSs where jumping-around-like-an-idiot-to-speed-up is the norm.
If you want speed, why do you play FPSs? You better should play racing games :

PSYKORGASM {l Wrote}:Well, I am not sure if you are trolling, stupid or just defensive cause RE is *slow* paced, so I apologise if you are upset :P
PSYKORGASM {l Wrote}:There is no need to insult games because you dont like them
PSYKORGASM {l Wrote}:Well RE is certainly has agile..ness.
Although I hardly ever saw anyone making use of it and everyone seemed to hate the jump/parkour map, which I quite like.
Most the maps apart from like 2 wall running is.. useless, not in a bad way but as in its not needed at all and people just dont seem to bother using it. I think more maps need to be made that requires use of wall running and the other quite nice features. If we could map in #radiant I'd give it a go but the mapping for cube2 is just kinda odd to me.
PSYKORGASM {l Wrote}: I could quite easily say RE is a 'pseudo-UT-FPS made for poor people who cant run the real thing
fluxord {l Wrote}:No, I'm not trolling nor stupid. My opinion is based on what I percieve when playing the games. I'm NOT insulting them.
The problem (that I've) with the other pseudo-racing-FPSs, it's just that they focus more on the jumping-speeding-up part than in the actual fragging.
Granted, they're all stunning looking awesome games and I know RE is slower and doesn't look as good as them.
But I don't care about it. It's OK for me. Hell, I even enjoy slower games such as COD, BF and CS.
fluxord {l Wrote}:Now, Who is trolling Who here?
fluxord {l Wrote}:No need to insult poor people here.
I can run the real thing (latest commercial FPSs), and I think most people around here can also run them.
PSYKORGASM {l Wrote}:Apart from the parkour map I never saw anyone use wall running, the maps dont encourage it. That's not trolling it's an observation.
The only 2 where it was/is useful is the tiny one like "Facing Worlds" if you know what I mean, and the one with the red death laser things going across, I cant remember the map names but I'm sure you're familiar with them.
PSYKORGASM {l Wrote}:The fact there is no way to out-move someone using a skill to catch up/get away I don't like so much.
PSYKORGASM {l Wrote}:calling something a "pseudo-racing-FPS" because it's gameplay doesn't match your preferences is insulting.
