Tried it and its great :)

lets give it a try :-)

Yay! Warsow!

hurray

There is also a Warsow LAN this weekend in Paris, France. You can find coverage off it at http://lovesow.net/dash4cash/

YEY!!

Huh? Already done with 0.5?

^^, finally :D

bomb gametype is a lot of fun :)

de_dust included?

kinda

actually one of the maps (wbomb1 aka concretestrike) is based on dust2 layout (however, it looks totally different and it's not that obvious ;)

i missed it!

very nice

awesome

Feels nice so far.

Really like new rockets and weak EB.

Until weak/strong ammo is gone, I won't even bother to see if the rest is shaping up.

oh, thanks for letting me know.. i was dying wondering

We will miss you...















not

Maybe you can make a petition to get me to try it...






not.

Play more QW!

But its such a unique concept, it has to stay with the game or it will be just another one of them average shooters out there.

Just because it's unique does not mean it's worth keeping.

talking about yourself again, eh?

My mommy says I'm unique

Don't worry MESSIAH, we'll be sure to change the whole game just for you.

At least someone would play it.

Good, don't think wSw community needs trolls.

It would need to have a community first.

This comment was quite easy to predict. :)

Thanks for pointing that out after the fact. You really showed me.

I will bother trying but still kinda agree - a horrible idea IMO.

I agree with you. Replying for contrast.

Right!

do many people in na duel in this? looking for a new game

there used to be a nice handful of duelers, but I haven't been active for awhile so I don't know atm.. I plan on playing again though

there's probably 8-9 active duelers, mostly playing in tasty-spleen or tasty east
not the kind of activity we had back in .12/.21 though =/

We all miss you. #wsw.na if you want to find a duel, it shouldn't be remotely hard to find someone that wants to play. Catharsis was actually on the other day, so it seems as if .5 is bringing some of the older duelers back.

I'm thinking of switching over my quake 3 server to this.

There's definitely enough to occupy your time. With the new netcode I honestly don't mind playing european duels, either, so if you're willing to do the same, you'll have plenty of competition.

this game is bad for duels much less anything else. just play quake live or cpm instead

interesting, the frag counter doesn't actually keep track of frags, but it mirrors your health. It seemed weird when I had 119 frags, then dropped to 90 something. Especially in 5 minutes with 2 bots.

ummm, it definately shouldnt behave like that. If your using a custom hud, that might be why, as it will probably need to be updated.

not using custom hud, but I did install over 0.42 if that makes a difference.

Makes all the difference. Uninstall 0.42, then install 0.5 :).

I'm having the same problem, but I spent some time setting up a cfg with binds and settings and such, but I can't seem to find my config.

and I really don't want to go though the hassle of setting my stuff up again :/

Your config is at %APPDATA%/Warsow 0.5/basewsw . You can also use the shortcut available at Start Menu -> Program Files -> Warsow 0.5 -> Avanced->Open user data folder

Bomb & defuse :D
I wonder how it plays with fast movements :)

bomb = win
it should be the most promted thing about 0.5

So lots of CS and COD kids start playing it? Great concept.

if it gets more of them playing with deathmatch style weapons, i cant possibly see the harm in that...

yeah, getting them to play their game in a deathmatch environment is a good idea.
eventually some will switch to tdm/duel/ctf.

aside from the fact that the bomb mode is actually great fun

How has there not been one 17 players joke? I'll do it then.

"GREAT NEWS fOR ALL 17 WARSOW PLAYERS (of which I am one)"

will test my new monitor out on this tonight instead of cpm then i guess, one time only

Never liked the Warsow movement and the game over all but 0.5 will do when I don't have anything else to do... It's way off being as great as Quake Live though imo:)

the wsw community is really funny, everytime they release a new version of the game they're super excited promoting and playing the game, and then after 2 weeks the game is dead as usual.

jumping on a wall backwards and hit the dashbutton was priceless.

Warsow hit beeps sound so bad, like to pans hitting together :)

I really want to like Warsow, as it has a lot of things I'm looking for in gaming.... :[ BUT

- horrible dork announcer voice!! :[ how about sticking with the style of the game and use some vocoded robot voice? Or is that too cliche??
- rockets are puffs of clouds?? It's not satisfying to shoot them :[ Rockets were bad in the previous version (strange balls), now they're even worse... A weapon has to be fun to shoot :[
- shotgun sounds are horrible, it sounds like a stapler, paired with the horrible tin hit sound it just sounds like I'm in an office. no power, no satisfaction
- strange, useless 'pew pew' starting weapon

I understand these concerns are beneath the 'true competitive player', but I feel things like these are important to do right, before you concern yourself with the 'high-level' gameplay features the ESR hardcore crowd may be interested in. I'm not going to train dueling if I'm constantly annoyed by the announcer voice and I don't feel any power when firing weapons. Sorry guys :[

The horrible dork announcer voice is djWHEAT! Love it or hate it :p. And about the rockets: In some scenes of the trailer 'cartoonrockets' were used, those aren't the default rockets (normally they look a bit more classic, with pixelly smoketrails and red glowy rockets).

horrible dork announcer voice!! :[

I'm sure many Quake fans have a e-boner for WHEAT, but I don't think he has a good announcer voice (though he is a good commentator).

Slasher might do the trick :D

I think so, too. Or maybe Trillian.

then everybody would be busy masturbating for the fist few mins :<

;DDDDD

I want to hear him do it, but only a really brutal metal voice.

NO, please. The worst announcer voice out there.

cg_cartoonrockets 0

Great stuff, although I won't be able to pick it up again.

i might play some bomb thingy later tonight!

yay Bomb & Defuse

downloading

I really like to play Warsow but it still has the same ugly models and sounds. It feels like game for kids. Please add possibility to turn on another "look and feel" for Warsow and world will love that game because it already has a great gameplay and features. Try to get more from games like QuakeWorld or Painkiller instead of Earthworm Jim.

However good job guys, espacially that you do it for nothing!

(it might be a reason why violence level is decreasing :P)

"– Weblogging, instant messaging, video sharing, online gaming, etc."

Was this written in 1999 or what?

Totally! I don't like to play it so much but make it like qw and pk or make a new free fps game and combine pk and qw gameplay/physics would be cool to see.

One thing I can't stand in Warsow is the pig character even though I don't have to see him I just can't stand that he is a part of the game lol:P
The sound and hit sound are pretty stupid to:/

Indeed pig character sucks, but I've been using it because it is most similar to TankJr. Now I will consider switching to this new character but it seems to be smaller.

Can someone convert Quake player models into Warsow? :D

The pig model: it's almost as if the game doesn't want to be taken seriously.

It's a game it's not meant to be taken seriously.

Some do some don't

And some games are...

I doubt that. They want people to play their game.

It's the 'Fun' part that may attract the majority of the player base.
If the fact there is a pig in a game makes you think a game is not worth playing, you should say something like "i don't like games for kiddies" :/

We don't even speak the same language.

how the fuck can you hate on the pig model?
that's one of the highlights of the game

why so serious? gtfo anyway

If you wanna play with pigs there are always other options.

Ooh i can feel that burn from here!

bomb

and defuse!

Radio: Fire in the hole!

WARSOW, FUCK YEAHHH

\o/

awesome

Nice work devs. The best free game in the place (QL is fun ,but is not that for the moment....).

tried it, meh its still warsow

And you expect it to turn into... What?

dunno i enjoyed it a lot more back when it first came out

what about the meh, its still q3 regarding ql?

well ql is kinda meh too, but for me its a lot more enjoyable than warsow

no 17 player joke? c'mon ... lame :<

try reading this thread :)

fair enough

even if this had a bit of community i'd never play it because it's still just .5 and you know they are going to change everything back and forth. i can't stand that in a competitive fps.

let's play QW 25 more years ;D

Auto-jumps and auto-walljumps ? Buhahhaha lol

Pls add also some lame QW scripts and other things that make this game more easy. And remove ability to gain speed, like C-S ! That will be great ! A great game...

theres no auto wj.

Ye my mistake, but still auto-jumping is so LAME ! Even C-S don't have it lol

i used to bind jump to mwheelup in cs for that :D

Most of the quake games/warsow don't require you to be prcecise with when you press jump anyway so theres barely any skill involved in mashing the space bar every 0.5 secs.

You don't know nothing about Quake/Cpm movement and you are wrong.

The only thing you have to make sure is you have jump pressed down before you hit the ground. It's not like timing the jumps make any difference (talking about basic bunnyhopping/strafejumping). So I have to agree, there's not much skill involved, and it's certainly not an area you can differentiate yourself with.

Because movement skill was rip off ? When you hold +moveup in quake/cpm not only you don't do next jumps but also can't gain more speed ( about 30% less acceleration) so in fact pressing jump key is important. Bot not in w$w. New w$w movement sux. Next step will be remove CJumps and other things bla bla bla

bla bla bla exactly

I never said pressing jumpkey wasn't important :D. It is indeed quite important ;).

u can turn off the autohop if it bothers u...

But it is still LAME !

not really, i find it very useful... its noob friendly and it stops the pros having to spam jump all the time

I don't want to spam fire all the time, either - is there a setting for that? Perhaps an auto-move like an MMO? Actually pressing the buttons for the actions in the game is so over-rated.

You know what, why not just let the game play itself? It's working for OSP right now.

OSP has a different target-audience, and different goals set for itself. OSP isn't looking to attracting a new audience I think.

I was talking about the only people playing OSP being bots.

ah :p

your analogies are stupid as usual. carry on

Nope, not going to deal with your trolling. Enjoy my ignore list.

"dont want to spam fire all the time"

lol, are u really that stupid??? what happens when u hold down fire?

I know - it's too much effort. It should be trivialized as much as jumping. Movement, too.

Honestly, why do we even have a map? Let's just remove movement completely and have two people stand in place and shoot at each other until one of them kills the other.

We're working towards an auto-play feature. We assume it will lead to a dramatic increase of Warsow players and activity, as noone will be forced to play themselves. It will also remove the limitations of different timezones and ping.

It's the logical next step after making players not having to mash spacebar and adjusting the movement.

ignore the troll

when you're new to this kind of game there is.

fail post is fail

don't use it then. What difference does it make really?
except maybe newbies having one less thing to focus on, in a game that already has a crazy learning-curve..

Honestly I haven't had this much playing warsow since like ~0.3.
Fucking great job dev team!

Bomb&defuse might be the most entertaining mode in fast shooters :)

This game is fucking amazing - played on US server for a while without even realizing it! Ping 170 feels really that good in Warsow 0.5. :)

Great work devs!

Yeah, 150 ping in wsw feels incredibly smooth. With 5-10 mn of adaptation you don't
even notice your ping anymore. And I'm usually playing with 60 ping.

impressed by the good looks of the game, too bad i suck at movement;p
oh and the weapon sound effects all sound a bit weak imo

first time this thing got fun!
i love the bomb mode

yeah really fun.. but they play on some gay maps for some reason
the stock maps are way better (wbomb1 and wbomb2)

in pickup wbomb1 is the most popular :)

i think that cocaine_b2 is fun as well (don't like west very much and havne't played alley yet)

don't remember that first version of bomb was released like... 6 weeks ago? most of the people don't know about it (there was a giant time gap between 0.4 and 0.5, over 1,5 year), same goes for maps... :) first version of wbomb1 looked horrible but it was getting better each time

yeah wbomb1 is awesome.. alley sucks tho. where is this pickup you speak of?

#warsow.pickup :)

I don't like cocaine :(

kankeretter

you played it only once :\

Alley is good. It's just WIP and very random in pubs. But it's good too and will end up being wbomb3 when it's improved. West (cwbomb1) is definately pub material.

important thing:
people who dislike movement (especially those who prefer cpm movement) should use cg_oldmovement 1

;-)

duel is pretty ruined by this update.

ok, i kinda haven't tested it yet but can it be worse than 0.42 duel?!

yea, much worse. i like .42 very much, though.

really? i kinda like the duel in this version. only problem i got is that there isnt much difference in armor between maxed out ya and counted down ra.

well, the importance of strategy, timing, movement and map control have all been marginalized in .5. you can literally kill someone 3 times as fast as you could in .42.

Is there a little delay when shooting rockets or is it my mouse which doesn't work well (it works ok in q3/ql) ?

its ur ping

I'll try to play it again, but i usually play on servers on which i have 30 ping. So it shouldn't be a problem there :x

the new rocket reload is too long imo.. might be that?

Yes it must be that since i just tried in local and i had the same 'problem'. :/

The rocket reload time has been increased. I doubt its your ping since, from what I understand, now the rocket animation is done client side, which mean as soon as you click you see the animation, wether or not it'll register at the right time is another question

bomb rocks ;D

HAHA

Are there many people playing Warsow? How would you compare the warsow community to QuakeLIVEs?

non-existant is the word you're looking for
