# Xonotic
Xonotic was a [free as in freedom](free_software.md) fast multiplayer arena [first-person-shooter](fps_game.md) [game](game.md) similar to e.g. [Quake](quake.md). It runs on [GNU](gnu.md)/[Linux](linux.md), [Winshit](windows.md), [BSD](bsd.md) and other systems. It is one of the best libre games, i.e. games that are completely free by both code and data/content. It is available under [GPLv3](gpl.md). Its gameplay, graphics and customizability are pretty great, it may well be the best in the AFPS genre, even compared to AAA [proprietary](proprietary.md) games -- this kind of quality is very rare among libre/noncommercial games.

UPDATE: **Xonotic as a game died in summer 2023** when the retarded developers couldn't get an erection without CONSOOMING NEW CONTINT and started just blindly pushing bugs and balance breaking changes without listening to player complaints at all (and actually banning many for voicing criticism, including [drummyfish](drummyfish.md)), demonstrating [update culture](update_culture.md) at its worst. The main server became a meme overnight, all [fun](fun.md) (such as friendly push) was removed from the game to create a "safe space" for players, possibly to get the game ready for Steam sales or make it more open to noobs and advertisers. RIP. If you can [fork](fork.md) Xonotic and restore it to its previous glory, please do so.
{ LOL the main server now banned me for voicing criticism of these updates xD RIP, I guess that's it for me. It was a nice journey. ~drummyfish }
{ I've been playing Xonotic for years, it's really an excellent game. I've met a lot of nice people there as the players are usually programmers and people looking for [FOSS](foss.md). The gameplay is addictive and relaxing and you can have a great chat during the game. Of course it's kind of bloated but Xonotic is a masterpiece. ~drummyfish }

The game builds on old ideas and mechanics but adds new weapons, mechanics, ideas and modes -- apart from the traditional [deathmatch](deathmatch.md), team deathmatch, capture the flag, complete the stage (defrag, racing without shooting) and competitive mode (duel), there are a number of new [fun](fun.md) modes such as clan arena (team round-based mode without self-damage and items), freeze tag, key hunt, last man standing and even Nexball -- [football](football.md) in Xonotic!
