It's barely got any maps and I've heard nobody plays online

I loved the UT series and I've tried nexuiz offline, which I think is a great game, and i love how it's really fast paced yet with more dynamic movement with a lot more depth and a bit of interactivity to the maps (like how the character will climb the last bit if you only just don't make the jump). I really like being able to accidentally miss a jump and just direct my fall to land somewhere else, and the mutators are a pretty good idea without having a major impact on gameplay or making one side too overpowered

But the main thing I liked about the UT series, is the hundreds of maps to play and hundreds of online players, with thousands of different modifications which would make certain servers unique, and I've heard nexuiz has none of these. I suppose it's sort of a vicious cycle, but once it gets more players and maps I'm willing to buy it, and I'm sure lots of other people will, I was just wondering is there any news about a new big release, or if community created content is popular and regularly played?

The majority of the maps are really well designed, I just feel like it needs a few dozen different ones with different game modes to get the best out of the game


Sorry if some bits sound a bit weird, I've had a couple to drink lol, but I've been 50/50 since i first saw it as to weather or not I should buy it, with the downside that it's got an awfully small fan base and I'd probably never get to play online. Also a proper release for the same price, but with a physical copy, would be awesome, because the art style is actually pretty epic, and its nice having a game which has graphics that my computer can't run properly Posted Image

edit: up to 32 player maps would be totally epic too, 4v4 kinda sucks Posted Image

When the marketing push happens, we get a map maker and hopefully more players. That should be soon, but there's something outside of Illfonic's hands stopping them from releasing everything right now. No mods though, I don't remember why, something about the Cryengine

I'd love to see IllFonic provide a deathmatch gametype and allow custom servers to host 8+ players, I'm sure this would increase players.

@andystech: as far as i know, illfonic plan on adding more modes and possibly larger player numbers in the future. Nothing completely confirmed though.

this is exactly what i'd love to see in nexuiz tbh i think it's the only thing that's missing at one point they had it plugged into steam workshop but seems like that's been taken out or atleast i can't find it idk but once that hits i'm sure somebody gonna figure out how to do a DM mode...probly beofre illfonic does lol -cheers :D

I don't think they can do 8+ players without reworking a lot of the game because of how it handles some things...
I'm thinking the marketing push is coming at the end of the summer sale. Put it up for cheap when people are just looking for one more game to drain their wallet on, but aren't going to be distracted by other titles going on sale. Get a nice rush of players all at onece to kickstart the community, and hopefully, they keep eachother playing.
