Single & Multiplayer First Person Shooter
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.
Version 7.31 of Alien Arena has been released, featuring many optimizations, bugfixes, as well as new features and content.

Nice. Time for me to catch up and see what all the fuss is about with this game.
Me too. I was REALLY skeptical about this game. But now,I'm kinda in the mood to try new things.
Yeah, I'm in. Gotta try it with my Nvidia 3D and see how that works on the old engine :)
I searched the alien arena forums about the Linux openal audio drivers and found that I will need to update my Fedora 8 to play.
Does anyone know if there is an openal, openal-soft that will run in Fedora 8? the only ones I found were for Fedora 9, 10 & 11.
Otherwise, it runs great in Windows XP
