Quake 3 like game for Linux?

I stumbled across a game for Linux ages ago that looked really cool, it had online play and the concept was similar to quake 3.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I want to play it!

Unreal Tournament?

nope, it was a free game, it looked really really cool, but I can't find it any more!

hmmm, Id like to know

did it have online play?

Yep, it definantely did or i wouldn't have been interested. The graphics on the screenshots looked awesome too. I found it on a website that featured lots of free linux games about 3 months ago

it isn't obsidian is it?

Nope definately not that, had a look at its screenshots and the game I'm thinking of had far more impressive graphics.

Damn damn damn!

Are you talking about America's Army? It's formatted to play on Linux.

Try it out: http://www.americasarmy.com

1st person shooter

I play americas army, or used to. Good game. I personally like playing Unreal better, but its nice to switch back and forth between the two.

Well I couldn't find it, but Ill be watching this thread though

Good news ppl! Found it after a good 30minutes of hunting!

Its called 'Cube' and a review with amazing screenshots is here:

Haven't had the chance to try it yet because my Geforce drivers ain't working right, but I'll let you's know when I do.

I've never played Americas Army, I don't think it would be a big hit in the UK with a name like that. I've seen some screenshots and the graphics look very impressive.

l8r,

NJ man. I looked for quite a while (well, not too long) and couldnt find it. Way to go!

hmm, lot of potential there, especially when he plans on adding shaders to it.

I like the wysiwyg map maker.

I will check it out. But I am wondering just how good it could be if the file size is 8mb.

Yeh true, the review said the designer / coder wanted to keep things simple and the 8mb could suggest this. I like the idea of the map making too, sounds a bit different. If the engine is half good then its got potential for many more great 3D linux games and that ofcourse means free games (well, most likely).

Hopefully get to try it tomorrow.
