Zero Ballistics
Zero Ballistics is a unique blend of multiplayer first person shooter and tank combat game. Easy to learn, difficult to master was our mantra during the development of the game. Set in lush alpine environments covering all seasons, playing Zero Ballistics is as thrilling as it is relaxing.
Beautiful, idyllic level settings meet armed to the teeth and highly detailed tanks. Combat is as intense as it gets with three different main and three different secondary weapons. Mastering the main weapon's ballistic trajectory, judging the distances correctly and estimating the opponent's advance all add up to a demanding but nevertheless rewarding game experience hardly found anywhere else.
Explore 81 different tank setups to be ready for any given combat situation. If you want to be sneaky, use mines and the heal skill to wreak havoc among your unsuspecting enemys. You are more the frontal assault type? Combine the ram bucket and the flamethrower to eliminate your enemies up close and personal.
Tired of modes like capture the flag, control the fortress or similar well known game modes? Try our Beaconstrike mode that combines the best of all known worlds (ok, modes). It provides fast and easy gameplay but also a huge amount of teamplay and controlled action.

My rating is low, because I expected a better game.
This game have few features not present in other FOSS games.
Also, for the video do not show game-play.
I suggest to use the video here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1hEP0VrW70
Warning : Connection problem.
While playing with bots (4 or 5 maximum) on localhost the game freezes and if i look in the console i see the following line repeating several times:
Warning : Connection problem.
And after many lines like that i see this:
History consumed. Bailing out.
Of course after this incident the game runes fine; it happens from time to time and is a bit noisy. Any idea what`s causing this ?
A bit of advertising
I have wrote an article for my romanian readers and of course to promote the game a bit.

if you are using pulseaudio installing
libasound2-pluginshelped to solve my sound problems with applications that use alsa.
a side: isnt it strange how i just assume linux users are power users?
I guess most linux users
I guess most linux users think to be power users, but only a few are.
They need to be
it depends a lot on the definition of poweruser, you are absolutely right if you use it in a genuine way. i was making a rather paraphrased difference between a user how is happy when stuff works and calls their ex if something is broken and a user who is not afraid of a terminal and knows some linux vocabulary like alsa, pulseaudio and apt ;) (understanding is a whole other matter, agreed)
