Back in 2005, the idea for a sidescrolling deathmatch mod was born on the Half Life Improvement Forums. Named Ragnarok Arena, it featured weapons and locations from many Half Life mods, squeezing them all into one massive multiplayer experience.

Enjoy a trip back to a time when bleeding edge graphics didn't matter, and where the idea of a third dimension was only dreamed of. Ragnarok Arena allows you to jump miles, gib your friends into little pieces with rockets and actually have a fighting chance without having the discomfort of having to move around on that stupid x axis.

In fact, Ragnarok Arena is being tested with many gaming pads with great results. Enjoy the ability to frag your friends from across the globe with a gaming controller, like the good old days (Though replacing "Friends from across the globe" to "That fat guy sitting on your couch").


Play on it. And then tell your friends to play on it. Basically, make those numbers go up.

Sorry to disapoint you if you thought that Beta 3 had already been released. Fortunately it's only a few days away. That's right, Ragnaork Arena: Beta 3 will be released this Friday, January 11th, 2008.

Just what is Ragnarok Arena though? Well, it's a sidescrolling deathmatch mod for the original Half Life that incorporates characters, environments and weapons from your favorite Half Life mods.

You can listen to Ackart spill the beans with the brand new website's first game update here.
