Nexuiz is a free to play arena based first person shooter which has been in development since 2002. The purpose of Nexuiz is to create a high quality shooter that can be freely played across multiple platforms (Currently PC, Mac and Linux). The game uses DarkPlaces, a modified Quake engine. Nexuiz features 9 different weapons, each of which that has an alternate firing mode, 24 officially maps aswell as hundreds of community created maps. It also features a wide range of effects including HDR, bloom, realtime, world and dynamic lighting.
In Nexuiz, players battle it out amoungst each other to obtain the highest kill count. However, unlike similiar games, Nexuiz doesn't have a health cap. Instead, health will degenerate back to 100 if no health is collected within a small time peroid. The higher the amount of health, the faster the degeneration. Players start with 150 health, and health will slowly regenerate back to 100 if the player is not hit in a short peroid of time. Armor also works in the same way, altough it doesen't regenerate.
Movement in Nexuiz is controlled by momemtum. Since the ground has friction, the more you are in the air, the faster you will move. If you continually jump in sequance, you will move extremely fast. Because of this, strafe jumping will actually cause you to move slower as you gain more friction and air resistance. However, strafing is still a reliable way to quickly move across the ground whilst dodging projectiles. Nexuiz also gives plenty of opportunity for "Rocket Jumping" as every player comes equiped with a weapon that shoots a laser projectile which does little damage but is extremely effective for jumping very high or pushing people into pits or off the map.
Within the game, there are 9 weapons, most of which have an alternate firing mode. Each player will start with a shotgun which is very inacurate but can deal alot of damage at close range. There is also a grenade launcher which has a very fast and long arc making it a great alternative to the rocket launcher for long distance aswell as a weapon called the Electro which shoots a fast moving projectile which deals high damage with a small splash. The alternate firing mode on the electro will shoot out containers which will explode after a set time, or can be triggered by shooting them with the primary fire resulting in very high damage. The rocket launcher has a slow movving projectile with a very large splash radius that can be exploded with the press of the right mouse button. This means players can strageticly explode rockets without having to shoot a solid surface.
