Xonotic

About the game

Xonotic is a first-person arena shooter, forked from Nexuiz. The game runs on the Darkplaces engine, based on Quake 1's engine. Gameplay is also based on Quake (mainly the competitive Quake III Arena), but Xonotic adds some unique touches (e.g. alternative weapon functions, like burst fire or cursor-seeking missiles, mix of Q1 and Q3 movement. The gameplay is very fast-paced, and includes and encourages strafe jumping as well as blast jumping, commonly with the aptly named Blaster weapon. The art is mostly futuristic, but unofficial maps exist in a variety of styles.

There are 16 different game modes (including the classics: deathmatch, team deathmatch and capture the flag, but including uncommon ones such as Nexball or Freeze Tag). The game also features 16 weapons with secondary fires, 18 official maps, serveral mutators that alter gameplay, and a complex HUD editor allowing for extreme customization.

Xonotic features integrated player statistics through the XonStat system, which tracks wins and losses, W/L and K/D ratios, average accuracies, and other stats.
