Blood Frontier - Cube2 based FPS - Interesting grenade assortment


http://www.bloodfrontier.com/

Site is currently slashdotted,

Detailed description Blood Frontier is a single-player and multi-player first-person shooter game, built as a total conversion of Cube Engine 2 (Sauerbraten). The project tries to work closely with the gaming and open source communities to provide a better overall experience, with a primary goal of creating a adventure based game environment that is flexible, fun, easy to use, and pleasing to the eye; it is a project with a true "by the people for the people" nature.

Humanity has spread throughout the solar system, to Mars and beyond. A vast communications network bridges from colony to colony, human to machine, and machine to human. This seemingly benign keystone of inter-planetary society, however, appears to be the carrier of a mysterious biological plague. Any persons so-connected seem to fall ill and die, only to return as ravenous, sub-human cannibals. You, a machine intelligence, an android, remain unafflicted by this phenomenon. You have been tasked with destroying the growing hordes of the infected, and, hopefully, locating and stopping the source of this epidemic.

I first stumbled upon this game only recently when it was included in a DVD bundled with a computer magazine. It's first impression on me was nice. The maps are very good looking and it really extracts all the goodness of the Cube2 engine. But the gameplay is too fast paced. And unfortunately, it runs quite slow on my machine (laptop).

The only problem I see with it is that there's nobody on, except bots. I think it's much better than regular Cube 2.
