BZFlag goes Platinum

Posted by Zonk on from the you-don't-see-nearly-enough-tank-games-anymore dept.

morrison writes "A little over four years after moving to SourceForge at a current rate of several hundred downloads every day, BZFlag has finally "gone platinum". With over 1,000,000 SourceForge downloads, BZFlag looks to be the third game (following Tux Racer and StepMania) to go 'sf platinum'. While this doesn't include the many tens of thousands distributed prior to the project's migration to sf.net during the SGI days, it's a momentous occasion for open source gaming regardless."

  1. A momentous occasion in the history of crap games by stilleon · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Idownloaded it. It is very bad. Bad gameplay, bad graphics. Bad bad bad.

    Why does these open source games seem so out of date. Graphics that are 10 years out of date (not even as good as Doom) based on a 20 year old game.

    I'll stick with Xbox games from private companies, because even though it is closed sourced they are at least FUN!
