Xonotic vs ChaosEsque:Anthology, Which to chose. A debate on OpenSource
FPS's
Xonotic over ChaosEsqueAnthology:
..................................
Ayyo. Before you make a big mistake in choosing a project or sum shit
you gotta be feeling the ways of the both the people. You feel me?
M'fcking Xonotic and dis bullshit is diffrens.
Xonotic devs deeply respect women and their rights and privileges.
Dis Bullshit devs hate women's rights and have been harranging FLOSS
femininists fo like a decade. (Citation:
http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/MikeeUSA )
Xonotic Developers contribute to society by working real jobs.
Dis Bullshit is a pack of fucking NEETs who say dey ain't workin fo no
enemy.
Xonotic Programmers are attracted to real Women.
Dis BULLSHIT faggots want to take little girls as brides.
Xonotic Men respect and uphold modern ethical understandings and
beliefs.
DIS BULLSHIT NEET FUCKS worship the war god of the jews and cite
"deuteronomy" as reason why raping young female children into marraige
is "awwwite" (Example: "Deuteronomy 22, 28-29,hebrew, see na'ar, tahpas
bla bla bla bla" -- These words are all spam-filtered on soylentnews.org
for a reason)
Xonotic Paragons have a correct work:life:hobby balance and deeply love
real women.
Dis_Bullshit neet faggots do not work, do not life, they just program
the videogame and make maps for it. They hate women and like little
girls (and we all know that little girls are basically boys).
Choose wisely for you will be judged by the company you keep.
If you want to get fired from your job: fine: shack up with mikeeeusa
and the faggot neets of Dis Bullshit and their mountain of shit. You
know: if you like pedophiles and guns so much. Also the neet assholes
added disgusting things like working torture chambers into the game. Do
you honestly want to be associated with that?

CEA over Xonotic:
..................................
Some things to consider:
Chaos-Esque Anthology has little things coded in over the years like:
Bullet Deceleration in Water (along with trails) (thus you can use water
for cover like in real life)
Blood splatter on walls when bullets pass through players (noticed
Unreal 97 had this, and Xonotic didn't, so it was coded in).
and various other little niggling details that were noticed as absent
and programmed in over the years.
It also has big things like the tons of added weapons, and all the rest
that has allready been mentioned.
Xonotic itself could be prone to puritanism: one of the devs wanted to
strip out all the player models and replace them with only robots so it
is "less violent" (don't think they did it, but it was discussed).
Chaos-Esque doesn't entertain such thoughts.
Xonotic has code churn from time to time when a dev decides to refactor
everything in the "right way". Samual did this once, and later some new
guys refactored the whole thing again.
Chaos-Esque does not do this. It refines the codebase it has. The
machine doesn't care how asthetic ones quakec dialect appears to humans.
(Rewriting codebases for no reason can reintroduce long banished bugs).
You can think of Xonotic as american-christianity: subject to bouts of
shakerism and other fads,
while Chaos-Esque Anthology is more listening to the voices of
antiquity.
Chaos-Esque Anthology believes in slow, steady, methodical advancement.
Like a large gear biting into whatever it is biting into.
Xonotic is more of a ... talk about things... some bouts of
revolutionary change... some iconoclasm... and churn in developers.
Chaos-Esque Anthology has one developer. Who listens to no one, who no
one talks to.
One of these projects makes more progress than the other.
Now, on the otherhand: Xonotic has a ... (close eyes, savor the moment,
breathe in, breathe out)...
Xonotic has a Community.
You can go to Xonotic. You can approach it. You can Talk to it.
There are people you can say hey what is up, how be ist.
You can talk about new features you want, discuss enacting them, have
arguments about it.
You cannot do this with Chaos-Esque. I mean, you can talk to a wall.
On the other hand, whatever feature you want in your heart... it has a
good chance of simply appearing in Chaos-Esque.
The development model is: force of will. You will it. That desire is
tranferred to the heart of the developer. He has the desire to suddenly
implement a new feature. That feature is willed into existance.
Many people scoff at this development model saying that it lacks
_Communication_, however Chaos-Esque has 185 weapons and Xonotic has 18.
Many people go on the Xonotic forum, make a feature request... and
unbeknonst to them Chaos-Esque has had this thing for many years (they
will never know).
Note: Xonotic (and ofcourse Chaos-Esque) has a way of seperating game
types. You could do ./xonotic-executable -game vanilla, and
./xonotic-chaos-esque executable -game chaos
