FWP is a multiplayer FPS game that is designed for hobbyists. It is a fast-paced, intense shooter game that allows players to fight and win against others in multiplayer mode.
FWP's gameplay is faster than that of Mechwarrior but doesn't resort to the "jump-around-like-crazy-and-fire-at-everything-that-moves" behavior of Quake 3. This pure multiplayer game does not have a real singleplayer mode and is primarily designed for use in LANs.
The game features great graphics, physics, sound, and gameplay (for a hobbyist game). It is playable over TCP/IP and has three types of vehicles (mechs, hovercrafts, and helicopter-like aircraft) with unique characteristics. There are also a variety of weapon types such as classical projectile weapons, beam weapons, and ballistic weapons.
FWP has distinct map types ranging from close combat indoor maps to large landscapes. Additionally, players can extend the game with a set of vehicles, weapons, and maps. Finally, the game has four game modes including deathmatch, team deathmatch, sole survivor, and team survivor.
To play FWP, you will need OGRE >= 1.0.0 (with plugins OctreeSceneManager, ParticleFX, CgProgramManager, and RenderSystemGL), CEGUI >= 0.2.0 (with GUIRenderer for OGRE), ODE >= 0.5 (no trimesh support needed), SDL >= 1.2.5, SDL_net >= 1.2.5, and SDL_mixer >= 1.2.5.
The newest release of the game includes an upgrade to OGRE 1.2 and CEGUI 0.4.0, the addition of one new vehicle and two new weapons, and an improvement to the HUD. Overall, it's a great game and a lot of fun to play with friends or online.
