New Open Source FPS Blood Frontier Shows Promise

Posted by Soulskill on from the but-can-i-bunny-hop dept.

Softhaus writes "The guys at Blood Frontier have been busy for the last two years working on a new FPS called (surprise) Blood Frontier . This game is an enhanced Cube 2 engine with original artwork and new gameplay (including a kid-mode, which optionally turns off the blood — a nice option for a change). Add the new paintball mode and you have a real 'game community' here. The code is all there (complete for you to play with), the team listens to feedback from the community, and the game is great! It's nice to see these talented guys showing a true free software attitude. They've mentioned that the first actual release is scheduled for next Friday. Does anyone know of other great open source games that are truly 'open?'"

    Slashvertisements for everyone (including a kids mode which turns off the blood and a painball mode where you can astroturf with your friends).

    It's like Penis! meets Vagina.

    It's like Yo Momma! meets a Crack Dealer.

    I don't know why this guy got modded Troll.

    Because that's how fallen people (i.e. bullies) get their jollies. Sometimes one might think that no Slashdot moderator has ever seen an actual troll because they seem to have a very hard time telling the difference between a troll and a very unpopular opinion. What's funny is that if they mod me down for saying so and thus prove my point, they would do so hoping that it shuts me up and intimidates me into not pointing this out (they see that I am not a bully so they assume I must be a coward because those two things are all they know; in fact I am neither). It's funny because if they work to make my point for me, it would really be utterly hilarious but I may have a higher than average appreciation of irony.
