  They’re surprisingly fun and I wonder why more team deathmatch games don’t include them.

  I used to play Tremulous and it was super addictive to live and die by your base elements. Gives the game a whole new dimension.

    Oh my god thank you for reminding me that tremulous existed. I spent so many hours playing that

      I’ve never heard of it, did it serve as inspiration for Natural Selection?

        Apparently both Natural Selection and Tremulous were inspired by the Gloom mod for Quake 2, according to the Tremulous FAQ:

        Development on Tremulous began long before NS was in the public domain. If Tremulous is inspired by anything, it is inspired by Gloom for Quake 2. NS has a similar ancestry (please see Game Developer Magazine February 2001 issue); this is probably where the confusion arises.
