VG To-do:

game is totally GPL; source code GPL, media GPLCyger (talk) 10:22, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Now look, i'm not sure that the game is open source because there's no source code download on the site, but many other open source projects don't have there source code on their sites, and of course there is lots of evidence to support my claim. (for example, one of the download links lead to sourceforge.net and nearly all games based on open source technology are open source themselves. --Member 6 July 2005 18:40 (UTC)

It is open source! --Member 8 July 2005 17:55 (UTC)

The game uses the darkplaces engine. Source included in the default download. The gamefiles on the other side ARE already compiled when you download them the normal way. If you alsowant their source (maps, ai and stuff) you need to get them form the SVN reposity. Shouldn't be to hard.--82.93.3.165 11:39, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Source is included in the normal game download so there's no need for a seperate source download.

yay open source... heh

[edit] PC Gamer article

I removed the link to the article scan as it is a copyright violation. You can cite the magazine article in order to add or support info in the article.--Drat (Talk) 09:44, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Featured in Maximum PC

As for the notability requirement, Nexuiz was also featured on the cover of the Maximum PC disk http://alientrap.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=14657&sid=9a277d77a8e10b15da741b50f89dd6a2—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.203.133.6 (talk • contribs).

That's trivial.--Drat (Talk) 04:55, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Apple's Downloads staff & users like it

A few days ago it was rated # 13 on Apple's Mac OS X downloads page -- Staff picks tab. Now it's out of there, but it's # 12 on the top 20 (first visible tab).

Right now it's also the featured application on the action/adventure page.

Does that count towards notability? I'd say so, but should it actually go into the article? --Xlotlu 15:48, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Things like that cannot be proven without third party notice (because they change). Even then, fleeting positions in top X lists isn't all that notable.--Drat (Talk) 11:48, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quality of the article.

This article is like an advertisement. It definitely doesn't need a features or screenshots section.--Granpire Viking Man 00:22, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

features? ... maybe but there are too many screenshots Cyger (talk) 10:19, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Who doesn't like to look at pictures of a game before they play it??? Zninja (talk) 23:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Zninja, I really appreciate the images you contributed to the article, but i'm not certain whether the water mark that can be seen in one of the corners of the pictures is really that great. Perhaps you could cut that out? 212.181.137.139 (talk) 17:09, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
I strongly agree with Granpire Viking Man; the Features and Screenshots sections should be removed, and additionally the Press Coverage section, to make this article less of an advert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.111.166.247 (talk) 01:22, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
