What don't you like about warsow?

I dont like the artstlye, sounds or player models but I have no issues with the gameplay. Its pretty fun.

But it doesnt offer anything that makes me want to play it over any other game and it has very few players so theres nothing drawing me to it in particular.

Lack of players really. The art style is little meh, but I can look past that. The game has the best arena fps movement IMO, because it's smooth, fast and fun. I don't really agree with the idea that faster game means less strategy because that can be fixed with proper map size and ammo/weapon management system. Some of the bigger maps were really enjoyable to play in duel.

Also I think the dash system has been wrongly dismissed as a gimmick. It complements the overall game speed well, specially in fights where producing interesting dodge patterns. There is one general move I find particularly satisfying: it's when you strafe at one direction with huge speed and during the last jump you let go all of your movement keys, turn around and hit dash to make a 180 degree turn without losing any pace.

I'd play it more but after last couple patches I'm getting FPS drops on my ancient PC so I've dropped it.

i played warsow around the .5 era (before wdm5 was 'improved'), stopped pretty shortly after .6 (i may be confusing the version numbers a bit). the movement is really fun, the netcode didn't get in the way, the maps were great, and the north american community was generally not very toxic and pretty fun to be a part of.

three things really killed warsow for me:

1. the lack of concerted direction from the developers
2. the dying community (see #1)
3. learning about quake live

warsow was fun, but as i began to see the subtle strategic elements of quake live, i really lost any desire to play warsow. the ql community was larger (many of the warsow players were playing it, too), finding a game was easier, and i still got the visceral fps combat experience that i got from warsow, just not as frenetic. i really grew to love the gameplay of quake live, which is sort of tragic, because that game was pretty well run into the dirt.

thanks for the good answers guys!

Haven't been able to play with a stable FPS ever since the openGL upgrade came in to Warsow. Before that the FPS was smooth like a baby's butt, now it drops to around 10 everytime there's a certain amount of brushes visible in screen. I gave up trying to fix it, because the game didn't offer that much difference from CPM or PQL to make it worth the trouble imo.

I have a general dislike for games with CPM-movement. It is fun to run around in blazing speed, but I feel that movement and aim becomes too much of a factor and the importance of strategy and the intellectual part of the game fades away. I prefer the strategic game :/
