Hello everyone, I’m here to shamelessly plug an in-development game which I have no affiliation with, but am extremely passionate about (and with good reason).
If you’re a fan of first-person shooters of the more traditional, faster sort (such as DOOM, QUAKE or Unreal Tournament) then this game is for you. It’s called Reflex, an indie title which has been in pre-alpha for several months now.
The project’s aim is to create a game which has the physical excitement (fast movement, powerful weapons) and strategic elements (item control, positioning) of older-style shooters, while having the features expected of a modern multiplayer title (e.g. player stats, match-making).
A lot of content has already been shown to the public, with a very warm reception by the competitive Quake community: http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&forum=57 If you look at the threads there you can see a guy named ‘newborn’, the leader of the project, replying to questions and keeping in touch with the sorts of people who will be playing the game.
A few well-known e-sport players, such as NVC, with early access to the game have streamed (with permission) gameplay of the pre-alpha build which is being worked on, so you can have some idea of what the game looks like, though it is very much
They’ve launched a Kickstarter aimed at $360,000 AUD which, if successful, will allow them to enter a full-time development cycle. If it fails they go back to working on it in their spare time, which would be shame for a game which looks so promising.

I'm not paying any money unless this is the theme tune.
