The say nice things about Tremulous thread

[Jedarus]

It's been quite depressing for me


I see nightmares about grangers which wake me up in the middle of the night
It helped me lose my first job and
I've lost all my real life friends because I played it too much
It's given me the opportunity to see how bad can game development go

Damn, you beat me to it  

Anyway, being serious now:

• the first game I couldn't quit, and must eventually reinstall if I do manage to delete it (I did manage a period of about 1.5 years when I dropped it in late 06, but that's not the case anymore)
• I have more e-buddies than I'll ever have in real life  
• one of the first online games I was actually pretty interested in
• It's gotten me into further online games, since I developed a taste for multiplayer from Trem  
• Free, and pretty portable (download is below 100 MB)
• Innovative
• Grangers

P.S. I wub kevlarman.

• Free(of course).
• Open Source giving a lot of people a chance to be involved with the game they play from mapping/modding/making huds to whatever else you can imagine.
• A fairly large community in which I have made many many friends that I hold as dear if not more dear than some of my real life friends.
• Tremulous really pushed me into teamwork and organizing, which benefited me outside of the game as well.
• Would play on my crappy comp.
• Is one of the few games that runs off the players, servers ran by players, servers adminned by players, and almost anything else you can think of.

Apart from acts ofcourse.

ATCS is a very decent map.  The only reason many people don't like it any more is just because it's overplayed.

That is very true. ATCS is mainly overplayed because everyone knows it and it is almost impossible to get lost in it unless you are an idiot.

[Necrimonican]

I agree atcs is a well known map so tthe majority likes to play on it because its
familiar. But I think most maps on tremuloous are easy to get around on with the exception of one
but overall i think the main reason is the matches go faster.
So irecommed ATCS for any new people to the game.

Meh, I find it a bit bland, and there's no possible weird base places really....

Anyways, I <3 TREM!

The things that drew me to Tremulous were more to do with the project, it's philosophy and it's community than the game itself. To be honest I spend more time modding games than actually playing them.

I ended up on these forums because I was interested in working with a GPL game engine. I did a bit of shopping around and decided that the quake3/ioquake3 engine was the one that interested me most (at least until Doom3 is GPLd). I then started looking at games that ran on quake3 derived engines that had a good user community. The three main contenders were tremulous, openarena and urban terror, so I spent some time reading the 3 forums of each. Openarena was an interesting project with a strong GPL policy, but the project was run by a single person with too much power, instead of more democratic team of devs. Urban terror had some nice points, especially their collection of textures, but their aggresively anti-modding attitude and ultra-restrictive license ruled it out for me.

Tremulous seemed like the healthiest option. It was run by a team of devs who seemed, from what I read of their posts, to be pretty reasonable people. The forum is a friendly place, with a good amount of helpful, knowledgable people. Modding is an accepted part of the culture and the media license is pretty unrestrictive. This convinced me that Tremulous was the right game for me.

[Demolution]

I wish I could sig that.
