Set in a futuristic cartoon-like world where rocketlauncher-wielding pigs and lasergun-carrying cyberpunks roam the streets, Warsow is a completely free fast-paced first-person shooter (FPS) for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Speed and movement, that's what Warsow is all about. Like a true cyberathlete you jump, dash, dodge and walljump your way through the game. Grab those power-ups before your enemy does, plant the bomb before anyone sees you, and steal the enemy's flag before anyone knows what's going on! A handful of popular gametypes come shipped with Warsow, like Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, Clan Arena, Instagib and Duel. Warsow invites you to add to this list, by creating your own custom gametypes with the brand new gametype scripting system!

It's a really fun game. But hardly anyone plays. The only servers that have any population are Instakills. I hate insta kill matches so I don't play on them. So I just kinda boot up a game with bots. Forever alone. =(
I love this game :) we played it a lot at school, and with all the effects enabled it actually looks like a real game too :P. definatly adviseable for download.
Ive been playing warsow since0.42 and I have to say ive never played a more addictive FPS in my life. The sheer mechanics of movement and the accuracy needed to hit in instagib are like nothing you'll see in any other game. If you are new to the game and you want to see where all the action is, play any bipbeta2 map that is active and you'll see what all the hype is about. Happy gaming folks!
I like FPS, but not always online, Does this have a single player game mode? I didn't see this meantioned.
Sadly, the game has no real single player other than simple bot matches at the moment. It's not really an area that the developers consider important, since its mostly a competitive game. Races can also be played single player, since its such a heavily movement-based game.
But I, a simple community member, do intend to try implementing a different kind of bot, which would probably eventually result in boosfights, ut-style survival, and perhaps a single player story, depending on how much I/others can be bothered to do.
you can play it offline like i do. "start new server", then choose the gametype, add bots and play.
OMEGA error on website...403 forbidden
Hopefully this gets added to the Linux side of Desura.
Love this game, awesome and fun to play!
