i am such a slow old boomer now but i absolutely loved the sauerbraten TOSOK (Team One Shot One Kill) venice servers. also assault cube TOSOK/OSOK (dm variant). also UrbanTerror jump maps. ut_swim will always be in my heart.
I don’t know/remember TOSOK, is that a new mode? We used to play daily circa 2007-2010, my group of friends was in a well-known European clan. Haven’t played it since, sadly.
i think im mixing things up - that term might be unique to assault cube. in sauerbraten i remember a map called venice, everyone had snipers and its one shot to kill anyone, very satisfying if youre good and very frustrating if someones better than you.
I went to look for some videos of the game and damn… I guess it’s time to reinstall.
(Never played Assault Cube, always meant to but Sauerbraten was just so good)
UT1 was basically instagib by default: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm3m1sszTEs&t=6s
So many sounds that will forever live in my head.
I think I actually beat UT99 on a laptop trackpad a couple years later. (School device)
For a few years Sauerbraten scratched that itch.
