Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2: 2 Open Source Clones Compared
The Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2 repository is the official released source code and tools for the game at version 1.02, archived and no longer maintained, rather than a third-party remake. fakk2-rework, by contrast, is a proposed modernization effort — porting to ioquake3/vkQuake3, adding netcode, cross-platform support — that per its own README has none of these features implemented yet and is currently unplayable, with the author inviting others to pick it up.
