OpenFrag - An Open Source FPS
OpenFrag was founded in May 2003 and aims to create an open source first person shooter with commercial grade quality. All participants are volunteers and use some of their spare time to help in the development process. The project was recently featured last month at the Finnish game exhibition XPlay 2006. Some of the project's textures have also been featured in the news at BlenderNation, it looks as if there is a promising future for these developers.
Of course it's ugly. It just started. Polish comes after functionality is in.
as with all open software, you have the chance to change this :) put on your artist hat and get your brushes in gear. If you are not of an artistic bent, then perhaps you could make some suggestions and constructive criticism of the project.

Ugly or not it'll probably be much more fun than some other major titles. Major software houses don't usually have a fucos on making a fun game, it's all about timelines and profit. I think people taking their own time to make something they want to play would at least be worth a look at.

Maybe I was playing a different Quake II, but I'm pretty sure that it had both a single player campaign AND multiplayer in it. If for some reason you meant Quake III - it had several single player games built on its engine, ie Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast.
I'd have thought that an English version first would enable more developers to participate... ... I thank yooooow

...unless they spent 3 years just talking about it. Hey, this is an open source project, right..? Hm...
