So i was looking around some stuff and discovered AssaultCube, i do remember hearing it’s open source so i thought that topic might fit here (feel free to correct me if i am wrong)

I have been wanting to try that for sometime now but was worried if the game was dead or not (i won’t mind if the playerbase is small or big, all i care about is if there’s servers still running and if there’s still people in it) and this might be a dumb question to ask since idk if there’s any AssaultCube players or if there is even anyone here that knows it’s existence but is the game alive at all? if not, are there alternatives that are more active? (AssaultCube-like or not, just any open source shooter game will do fine and i’ve already tried xonotic, good game and will play that again sometime lol)

    Holy fuck I used to play this on school computers during lunch. When I played it was pretty easy to end up in active games, but I’m not sure how that’s changed over time. I really should reinstall it for nostalgia’s sake.

        14 years ago… damn now i wonder what the community was like in it’s peak prime, whenever i visit empty servers or whatever and hell whenever i read old messages sent by players (whether it’s on forums or something), it always feels like i’m looking at an ancient relic and that’s actually something i always loved, especially when looking at old posts from a community that was once big.

      I didn’t expect so many people in the comments expressing their nostalgia cause of my post, i think i opened up a whole box of people’s memories that are now unlocked because of my post LMAO

      But yeah damn playing the game even back then sounds fun as hell lol, i always loved old as hell games since they always have this charm to it that i can’t explain… though ig it’s cause i have an interest in old stuff in general. I’ll probably install it and see if there’s anything left (i would imagine it’ll be either bots to keep the game to not feel lonely or it’ll be a small community keeping the game alive)
