“Nexuiz is one of the most popular shooter games which
emerged after the open-sourcing of the Quake 3 engine, featuring a
fast-paced game style and several game modes, like the popular DM
or CTF. Nexuiz is a free, GPL-licensed, first-person shooter
developed online by the Internet-based team Alientrap, and it comes
with ports for Linux, Windows and Mac.

“Ever since it was launched, in May 2005, Nexuiz went through a
lot of changes and evolved with every release. The 2.5 series bring
many improvements, featuring new graphics, new maps and an even
faster gameplay. The latest version is 2.5.2, a bug-fix release to
the stable 2.5 release. To test the latest Nexuiz, download the Zip
archive from the official website (direct link here), uncompress
it, and then run the binary specific to your OS (the archive
includes binaries for Linux, as well as Windows and Mac).”
