warsow is a free shooter developed by some hobby programmers using the q2 source code. currently its still in beta but you can already download and play it online. it is actually lots of fun and and the movement is pretty complex and innovative. just the graphics are a little bit lacking and if youre looking for eyecandy and special FX dont bother downloading it.
