warzone project problems (2012)

Good Points

  • play guides are well maintained, making the game feel like a game again instead of a charity case
  • map and mod pages exist
  • lobby exists, and update multiplayer technologies helps game stay compatible with modern gaming practices
  • map & mod files have been made more openly editable

Bad Points

  • existing map and mod files have been made completely incompatible wih current codebase, with no (afaik) easy way of updating them without insider knowledge of game engine
  • no release date for latest version on mainpage
  • widely available versions for linux & windows are not the same, and are incompatible for multiplayer
  • no native (maintained) build instructions for Windows (!), poorly defined list of build requirements
  • project development is focused on continued game redesign of a legacy product, alienating older players, instead of maintenance and bugfixes
