At least in 2014 we also have to look forward to Unvanquished showing its colors and hopefully a long-awaited update to Xonotic. Unfortunately other details remain scarce on the update or when it will finally arrive for this seldom updated game. "Anyway, doubt we'll do any 1.0x releases or packagings anymore, all of our little manresources will go to finalizing 1.1/1.5, that'll be good milestone to think about update methods through a bit." When trying to find out about any new Warsow release this weekend for new open-source game Linux benchmarking, in this forum thread it was pointed out that they aren't looking to do any more 1.0.x point releases of the game but will be moving onto the next major release: it will be known as either v1.1 or v1.5. The open-source engine behind Warsow now has support for TrueType/OpenType fonts, new HUD commands, an OpenGL ES 2.0 compatible renderer, performance improvements, support for loading GLSL shaders from disk, and various other renderer improvements.

I prefer Xonotic as a more casual arena shooter fan.
And I like Xonotic better than Warsow anyway, Warsow is basically just a. It's also a pity that Xonotic hasn't seen an official update in quite some time while it does continue to be developed. /v/ - Video Games is a board about video games and gaming culture on 8chan.

While it was one of the better open-source FPS video games and saw routine updates - along with passing Steam Greenlight a few years back - it looks like it's now game over.
