What's unique about Rune?

[¦ËÑÇLÂV˦^Wizard]

I thought we'd make a list of what's unique about Rune, to figure out why we just keep coming back all the time (despite the fact that we secretly hate eachother)!

So respond with short stuff that I can add to the list.
I'll start.

Rune...

* has a unique concept of honourful gaming
* is the only real melee simulator out there
* has a small but really dedicated community which have shaped the multiplayer experience into greatness by itself
* lives on despite the lack of direct support from the developer (not counting masterserver hosting)
* has many maps, mutators and mods (considering the overall size of the playerbase)
* has fights which are up close and personal, instead of anonymous fraggin.
* is set in an era not many games pay attention to
* ability to perform "free" combos

Keep 'em coming, people.

* Vnb, I think this is the only that braught me back into playing it.
* Unique gamestyle/gameplay, I love this concept.
* Small community. Nice to see familiar faces everytime.
* Atmosphere/mapstructure-style
* Head to head combat.
* Ability to edit/make maps, mutators.

Yay BM got a good point there. It is defenitely a way easier to create new maps compared to any newer games. Hence playing Rune will never get boring or unenjoyable:>

VnB is unique now a days. There was another VnB in VietCong and some other games a year ago.


I havnt played many other games to compare with. But the head to head combat, as bm mentioned, is nice. So many things you can do with the different weps. Compare fighting style today and 5 years ago. Quite some development in handling the weps.

Community is nice. Better today than it's been for awhile in my opinion. Could be bit larger though.

Remember people, we're looking for unique features. There are other games out there with small close communities and amazing CWs. ^

I'll be away for the weekend, but any admin can feel free to add stuff to the top post if you like.

Free combos yey

[GrandPa]

*Easy to piss people off with funny throw-run styles.
*Makes my day a good one after a 6 hour rune session.
*Making my neighbours think i always watch porn with that valkyrie screaming (explains her curious looks towards me probably)
*Good excuse not to open my frontdoor when i hear the doorbell.
*Better excuse not to anwser my mobile.

[¦ËÑÇLÂV˦Çhrøñîç*]

*A wide collection of personalities. ("Thumb up"-community)
*Melee combat.
*Free combos.
*Revolutionising game. (or at least would be if it hadn't been made in an era of shooters)
*Entertaining. (I usually get bored and uninstall games after 1 month)
*Making maps.
*Chop heads with my precious DWS. :]
