hanez Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Hey all, I just bought quake 2 and doom 3 and got them to work on MDK. Problem is quake is too old for me now and doom 3 is ok 1 player but sucks multiplayer (IMHO) Then I saw in a Linux magazine a free open source game called Cube. Well I gave it a try and MAN is it good. It has a single player mode and a multiplayer mode that is just WICKED, much faster then quake 2 and much better looking. Anyways it is the easiest thing in the world to install (and even has its own gamespy like server finder) I was totally suprised to see such an awesome game done open source. Anyways give it a try You can download it at http://cube.sourceforge.net/ PS it works on windblows too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Aye, cube is awesome fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmc77 Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Gave it a shot in Jan., and couldn't find anyone to play with. Guess it's running well now and gaining populairty. Probably should give it another go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaschtroumpf Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 I agree it's fun but I wouldn't call it good looking. Unreal Tournament 2004 is good looking (but not free) If you're into FPS you might want to check out Legends, sortof a Tribes lookalike, but not much a community.

SoulSe Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 I played Cube for the first time years ago. Since then it has come a long way, but still needs some work IMO. It started as a Computer Science student's project - serious code monkey. Or so the story goes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got everyone to play cube at a friends lan, it was awesome fun - even those who normally played UT liked it. It was good for a lan because of its small size 22mb, definitely not a 5 CD install !!

Lärs Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 (edited) What makes Cube so small is the innovative engine. If you think about it, Cube saves megabytes by using "Cubes" instead of having a billion polygons making up the map. Yes, Cube's multiplayer has sparked in recent months. I usually find myself going to an empty server and end up with many people playing instagib with me hahah. One of the coolest modes, a new concept I think, is DMSP... My record is something like 30 frags in 45 seconds. Edited April 3, 2005 by Lärs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I'm going to re-emerge this game again tonight and see what's been happening. The first time I used cube their was no multiplayer mode and they were still working on AI for enemies - this project really has come a long way!

iphitus Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 There's definitely multiplayer now! I played this at a lan with some windows buddies, me on linux and it rocked :D But dont play for a long time, after half an hour of constant cubage, my hands really hurt :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
