Xonotic also features several remade and brand new maps.

About Xonotic:

Xonotic  is a free (GPL), fast-paced first-person shooter that works on Microsoft Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. Xonotic is a direct successor of the Nexuiz Project. The game is a fork of Nexuiz (2.5.2) :

“The last release of Nexuiz (2.5.2) was on the first of October 2009, and when we decided to fork early March 2010 we continued where we had left off with Nexuiz. Large parts of the code, graphics and music have been redone  and have improved immensely. “
