Single & Multiplayer First Person Shooter
Alien Arena
By Irritant_new | Released Oct 21, 2009
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. With major graphical enhancements such as GLSL per-pixel lighting, hi-res textures, 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, and players can play online against one another or against the bots.

COR Entertainment, LLC announces the release of Alien Arena 2008, a freeware, opensourced FPS.
This game is the followup to the critically acclaimed (Linux.com) Alien Arena 2007, and features nearly all new game media, gameplay improvements, and a client that has been significantly upgraded for improved visual effects as well as major optimizations that greatly improve the fluidity and performance.
Alien Arena 2008 also offers a change to it's overall theme, moving towards a slightly darker, more serious tone, while still retaining a good bit of it's retro style, creating an interesting marriage between classic and modern sci-fi. This resulted in completely new player models, many new weapon models and textures, and seventeen new levels.
There are major improvements in weapon effects, per-pixel lighting, texture resolution, and resource usage, as well as the addition of a cross platform server browser, FUSE. Weapons have been tweaked for better balance, and movement has been enhanced with the addition of dodging abilities. Alien Arena 2008 will run on Windows and Linux, and the OSX/Mac port will be released in one week.

sweet ill dload this now

i guess i didnt read where it says "the OSX/Mac port will be released in one week."
looking forward to it :)
looks good :P
finally ;) thx
wow... it's like a whole new games from two years ago! Great job! :D
Thanks, the team put a ton of work into the last two releases, and it's just the beginning of alot of new stuff to come :)
I know I'm in the minority here, but I loved the SP versions of the game, I'd love to play another SP adventure.
What engine was used to make this game? You need to update your profile!
It was based off of Q2 and Q3, so I have put id tech 2 as the engine and updated the profile.
sounds like a qfusion rip off
Wow dude, you don't let up do ya? LOL. Let me fill you in on a little history(and for others who are interested). CRX was originally written by myself and Victor Luchits(who wrote Qfusion) in 2002. Since then both engines were developed independently, with completely different purposes. Qfusion was primarily created as an engine that could be used as a mod base, that could use Quake 3 content and game code. CRX was developed in a more specific manner, with code that linked more to various items in the CodeRED series of games, and then eventually Alien Arena, and was never intended to be used by other games. One quick glance at the code shows that they are completely different engines(the only code they share at all is the light bloom code), that do not even run the same type of game code. I hope that helps clear thing up for you :)
CRX was originally written by John Carmack.
But of course :)
victor luchitz thus qfusion
probably it was too much to call crx as qfusion
crx is worse
It wasn't called Qfusion because of what I wrote above. Reading comprehension 101 please. As far as which engine is better, I didn't realize this was some kind of contest. Maybe if people like you(among others) didn't try to make it such, and trollbait projects like you're infamously famous for, there would be greater cohesion between game communities. I suggest you get a new perspective on this and grow up a little.
this game rocks
