An anonymous reader writes "The open source FPS Blood Frontier has now made their beta2 release. From the article: 'After many months of development, and massive amounts of input from the public, we are proud to present you with the new release of Blood Frontier, v0.85 (Beta 2). This new version totally redefines and improves the game in many ways, creating a whole new style that makes it almost nothing like its predecessor.'"

Judging this book by its cover, this looks like a remake of what I used to play more than a decade ago with Quake 3: Team Arena. I watched the video, looked at the website, but all of the improvements listed there boil down to either move better, or kill more stuff. Anything actually original about the gameplay that makes it Killzone 2 kind of fun?

Actually this is and will always be a major problem with open source online games. You don't even need to debug assembly and create a hack for it, you just need to edit the source code and build your own client.
Not always.
It can be solved by not sending to your client any information you shouldn't know as player or character.
It's fricking hard, but not impossible.

Yes I will admit that the learning curve is steep, but that's half the fun right there!
Uh, wrong.
