The Smokin’ Guns game started its life under the name of Western Quake³. It was originally developed by a team known as Iron Claw Interactive. They released WQ3 beta 2.0 in 2003, after which development all but ceased. In May 2005, development of Western Quake³ was taken over of by a bunch of cowboys calling themselves The Smokin’ Guns with the blessings of the former team. With the release of the stand alone version in 2008, the game was renamed to Smokin’ Guns, and the team to Smokin’ Guns Productions. Smokin’ Guns is intended to be a semi-realistic simulation of the “Old West’s” great atmosphere & was developed on Id Software’s Quake III Arena Engine. Downloads: Windows only or Windows and Linux Macintosh (not available at the moment) Note Mac Users: The game (should) run fine with CrossOver
EXCELLENT game!
Both single {with bots}and multiplayer are great and the game feels right, the guns, the soundtrack all come together to make a VERY fun game.
Some question the graphics, but they are similar to Half life or Jedi outcast so for free, they are solid and with the excellent level designs, convey a professional looking game with bags of playability.
This game is now one of THE best FPS freeware games around and should be tried by all, its really good!
