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. There are currently over 60 maps, loaded with weapons(each having an alternate firing mode) and powerups. Alien Arena has fast, smooth gameplay, & players can play online against one another or against the bots.
Please post all support issues in the forums for the game.

Hmm i should have asked this among with the music thingy. Its quite unclear for me is alien arena moddable :P ? Since im now starting to get into the modeling i started to think also is it possible to make skins and stuff like that. Atleast i know AA is closed source (90% sure)
The source code is open source, the game data is not. In other words, you are free to modify or use the engine any way you wish, for another project, etc. You can certainly make models and maps for Alien Arena and release them. The only thing you cannot do is reuse the game data for other projects, or repackage the game and re-release it.
ahh cool. gotta try something when im enough good.
looks kool, from the pictures looks like a futuristic COD
