The download was under 5MB but I was blown away! Rich and beautiful crisp textures, pumping soundtrack and the most realistic player models since vampire - bloodlines.
Be prepared Aard! The next generation of free FPS shooters are coming along...

Er, what?
I'll stick to sauer anyway - it owns best out of all FPSes.

Is that really Aardappel posting or is it somebody else? What battle are you talking about? I can clearly remember eihrul saying that sauerbraten is going the way you like it, which owns :)

Thanks for saying that :) I feel much better now :)

Soulsilver: the creator of the game could take care of the page's design - it is horrible. Is the game working on Linux?

Tried to run it in wine and cedega. It didn't work.
Maybe you can get it working, but it's nothing I really want to waste my time in.

Looks kinda very crap, IMO. Brings me back to Doom and Quake 1 times.

How would it be "crisp" textures? They're not good. And by the way, the site is so inaccessible that I couldn't find screenshots :O. Is it that coding kinda...sucks... or the site just looks very bad? ;)

That's why I said at the first post that it looks almost as good as Doom I (one). =D =D ;D

You don't know what you're talking about. Doom 1 does look good, even now :P

ok, this thread was an OK joke, but I expected it to die off by now.

Doom1 can have all the pretty stuff sauer has these days...3d geometry, 3d models, 3d lighting, and texture shaders...and if you use the right engine, you even have to compile a .BSP for maps....So actually, Doom1 looks BETTER than xoperations.

BTW, for what it's worth, xoperations has been a freeware game for a while. I think they've only recently added MP support. I remember playing this game years ago as a SP game....after all this time, it still looks slightly worse than quake1 graphics.

Wow, impressive how the joke turned wrong...

Do people turn off their brains on purpose or is this coincidental?

You're implying that people have brains to turn off in the first place...interesting thought, but I doubt it's true for most ;)

Damn, you're right. I should revise my view about that...

"Result: Failed validation, 49 errors

Both. :P

Exactly :D

Where's the professionalism?:)

Looking at this forums' source code, it is perfectly valid even though it uses tables. but tables are nothing bad considering that it is all valid and easily readable :D

Aw man! Is it possible to pop in a small joke or a good dose of sarcasm here and there without starting an avalanche of serious comments? ;)
It was just a sarcastic joke! Yes, X-Operations is not a game of professional visuals and stunning effects. But I had my fun for a good hour. Why not? I have respect for people who can finish producing a game. Most of the "cool" ideas today die with a website and 2 weapon renderings...
