Alien Arena is a standalone game based off of id Tech 2 source that combines a sci-fi atmosphere with the tournament style deathmatch of Q3A and UT2k4. Major graphical enhancements such as GLSL per-pixel lighting, ragdoll physics, light blooms, real time lights and shadows, textured particles, shaders, and reflective water, Alien Arena brings the Quake II engine into modern gaming. The game also includes mutators, adjustable effects, bot skill settings, and fully configurable deathmatch, team deathmatch, CTF, All Out Assault, Team Core Assault, Cattle Prod, and Deathball games. The game features original artwork, with a dark, sinister atmosphere combined with an off-the-wall campiness, and trippy, techno type music.

Alien Arena has fast, smooth gameplay, & players can play online against one another or against the bots.

The blood looks very bright.
Very dynamic shooter in a oldschool climate.
Oh, i remember this one. One of the first FPSes I played xP
Just downloaded and played it.It's impressive game.Really nice.
Man I remember playing this years ago when I was looking up Quake 2 mods. It's come a hell of a long way! Can't believe it's running off it Tech 2. You guys have done a hell of a job?
Can't change video settings on Xubuntu 11.10
I pick what I want, and it just goes black. Never comes back up.
What video chip, driver, etc?
What's the difference between this and the free one?
This one is free, what other one are you talking about?
According to my mind this is the best freeware FPS.
