this is probably the best attempt for promoting "our" game that we ever had, thanks a lot dude! Btw, ctf and ictf are (dead) gametypes that also allow dedicating a very high % of playtime to racing through the maps in a pointful manner, while focusing on rather "techy" movement instead of rocketjumping. Can be fun too, wfctf1 for example allows for an insane amount of routes and trickjumps.

[@Frizou]

I downloaded the game barely 10 minutes after you released this video, I have never played any game with quake/source mouvement so this is the equivalent of trying to learn professional chess with your only prior experience being Connect 4, and I love it Watching people fly away at crazy speeds wondering how that is remotely fair is one of the most hilariously inspiring thing I've seen, I want to do just like them just for the hell of it! I'd love to see bigger servers because I think that's likely where it'd shine the most and am excited to see it in action, I really hope this video gets more traction

[@CPU122.]

The worst part so far about the game is how slow weapon switching is where I don't know what I have equipped until 0.5 seconds later

[@Frizou]

@@CPU122. Yeah I do dislike weapon switching, it feels weird overall and I'd really like to have an option to inverse the scroll wheel (down goes right and up goes left) instead of the default, there is a serious lack of options. I also find the mouse in menues *extremely* sensitive (about 2x) and it bothers me so much, it's not tied to the mouse sensitivity option and you can't lower it. But apart from that I do enjoy it a lot

[@CPU122.]

Yeah. Warsow never catched up in the US. It was mostly EU players. Funny thing is that Warfork is pretty much bigger in the US than EU now.

@@cyaniideTV The founder of WSW didn't want it on steam. So Warfork is a fork of the game without the founder. Warsow still exists. At least the last time I checked.

Warfork is a nice classic I like to play from time to time. Seeing as you're making a video on it, I think trying out Xonotic would be cool as well, as it's similar in gameplay style but is really fun and has mutators as well (ex: grappling hook, jetpack, etc)

[@cheshi_smile]

I love quake clones, was huge on Reflex when that was around and played QL around the same time. Ever since it died I thought that type of game was simply unviable, but after playing fighting games like Guilty Gear and falling in love with its brand of skill expression, I think high skill-ceiling games are a ton of fun and this subgenre deserves love, even if its entirely fan driven.

[@The.VampYr]

Hey, long term player here. Im very happy that you covered this fantastic game! Ive played it lots and lots over the past 10 years and i would love to spread the word of this game. I was planning on making a movement tutorial series on my channel soon. Maybe you want to Collab? :)

One of my fave games of all time. Played it for a decade when it was Warsow. It's an absolute adrenaline rush and the original soundtrack is so good it gets you pumped for every game.

I remember playing Warsow (the game Warfork was forked from, hence War"fork") and loving the movement, but the only thing anybody would play was instagib. As a rocket launcher lover, it just made me kinda sad.

[@CentsGD]

keep in mind that if you struggle with movement, there are also maps that let you focus on those mechanics so if you're not prepared to move around the map at mach 5, you can do maps that allow you to exercise these things

[@TheOneWhoHasABadName]

i hope there are also challenging custom maps for new and veteran players alike to practice movement, like the various jump maps the goal there would probably be to gain excessive amounts of speed to clear a large gap, with the challenge being doing it in a confined space, or to clear the map fast. reminds me of other platformers (like some expert/GM nyoom maps in celeste strawberry jam, but less limited since the movement tech there is technically jank)

[@BucketMans]

Rip Gregory He got fragged too hard F for Gregory😢

[@skyr3x]

Theres a browser-turned -steam-release game called krunker which has added a lot of pretty cool movement mechanics over the years. When i checked it out in 2019 it was just crouching and jumping but over time they added sliding, slide hopping, shotgun jumping etc and conpletely turned it into a movement shooter with player drifting around the map like race cars

[@antiktestere]

i've been playing krunker since 2017 or something and it's crazy how the game evolved from a browser shooter to play with frends to an actual game with rankins and skinbs and such good mechanics

[@Bruno-cb5gk]

Was a lot more fun when you could turn down the gravity and it didn't have invisible walls. 1v1 gun game while flying over nuketown was a ton of fun.

[@mostlime12195]

I used to play Krunker, I still occasionally play a couple matches (mainly because zooming around the match is so fun, I'm terrible at aiming)

[@X-101]

The TF2/CD Source movement actually comes from Quakeworld(quake 1) source was based on quake 1 cod with a bit of quake 2 code, Warsow was based on quake 3 cpma mod which included QW style movement into quake 3

The press of a single button, Is this a warfork video? Edit: yes yes it is. I love the maps that are just a giant racetrack.

[@Cyanfox3006]

I understand that im going to talk about literally cringey game - Krunker. Basically, it has very few ways but a lot simpler ones how to go go fast. 1) Slide. Basically same as dash, but instead dashing you crouch-slide, thus gaining speed, but also instantly changing direction and keeping momentum. The less time you slide, the more speed. 2) Rocket jumping. Nothing new, it just throw a rocket under your feet and fly away. 3) Recoil jump. Some weapons (shotgun for example) have pretty enormous recoil, with one little gimmick: you get enormous amount only if you shoot into the floor or wall that youre touching. Shotgun jump goes brrrrrr 4) Wall jump. They are a way to both slightly increase momentum or lose it all as you jump from away from the wall at set speed, meaning you have to slide them if you want any momentum gain. Overall, it has insanely simple learning curve with hardest part actually not hitting any walls on your way to murder poor f2p

it's amazing seeing all the OG Warsow/Warfork players in the comments lol, amazing video I learnt of this game through my 2 brothers playing it, I mostly played Instagib since I didn't have to focus on weapon choice, and went fully in ca. 2017, then after IG kinda died and the servers were empty I went for racemod, where I still play occasionally. The movement in shooters has always been an important part, but this game takes it to a whole other level, I've had years of fun just with its movement alone via racemod, there are few games that have such simple mechanics yet such a high skill ceiling. Most players drop the game after seeing the veterans play, but if you do spend the effort to practice and get better, holy shit this game is the bomb
