Xonotic is 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, 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.
{ 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!
