Warsow is probably the most fast paced arena shooter to ever exist. On top of the traditional strafe jumping techniques, you got dashing and wall jumping which you can use to redirect speed and or conserving it while cramming through narrow corridors and corners or simply feeling like doing a 180° turn. Since the weapons are more the less same as Quake 3, Warsow kind of plays like CPMA/Reflex on steroids.

Pros
Pro Great gameplay
The movement is smooth with an interesting walljump mechanic added in the mix. All weapons are well made and balanced; each weapon having a purpose, not to mention shooting them feels great.
Pro One of the best gateway arena shooters for your friends
Well optimized, small file size, good bots, cute graphics, free, standard arena weapon set, good tutorial... If you are trying to get your friends to try playing hardcore arena shooters with you, like your Quake, UT, Reflex or what have you, this is a quick and free download that won't take too much convincing that will also give you a great experience.
Pro Ultra-fast gameplay
Here some numbers: Warsow is based on Quake game engine, just like Counter-Strike so numbers are comparable. In CS you are moving usually at speed 320 ups. In Warsow average duel match goes with speeds 600-900. In CA mode most of players moving at speeds around 1000ups. And in insta CA mode on some maps you can expect opponent flying at 1500-2000ups.
Pro Great looking
The cell-shaded graphics are great and, because it runs on the Quake 2 engine, it runs well on a lot of systems.
Cons
Con Development has ceased
The game is no longer being updated, the developer team disbanded and branched off to their own respective projects. This also means that the game will never be on Steam. Regardless of some parts of the game being open source, the community is simply not big enough to self-sustain the game. There should still be a flow of new maps and tournaments though.
