Apr 10, 2009 Full Version 5 commentsThe full version of the Ragnarok Arena Remastered Beta 2 mod. For more information, check out the ModDB profile or visit the official website.
It's 1998. You've been playing sidescrolling platform games since what seems like the incarnation of computer gaming. Sure you've played Evil this, Earthquake that, but most games up until this point have lovingly involved a 2d plane. Then, games like Metal Gear Solid and Half Life come out. The face of gaming changes forever. You are happy.
It's 2008. You've been playing FPS games since what seems like the incarnation of PC gaming. Your three hundred dollar graphics card renders in multiple shades of brown. Your monitor can display 32 million colors of retina-burning blooming brown. You've been to underground temples, sewers and caves (brown), ww2 trenches and ruined cities (brown) and post apocalyptic wastelands (brown). It's time for a change.
A sidescrolling, platforming multiplayer deathmatch - A randomly dispersed armory of more than twenty classic and original weapons from across the history of fragging and levels that capture the true essence of a sidescroller: Insane and without logic.
Utilizing the latest Valve Source engine, Ragnarok Arena Remastered aims to bring you the latest and greatest in sidescrolling deathmatch gameplay. Featuring larger maps, vibrant graphics and crowd pleasing technologies that have been around since 2004, RAR aims to bring Ragnarok Arena kicking and screaming into the twenty first century. And best of all, if you own any Source game that supports the Source SDK Base; well, you can play RAR. No Orange Box required! And no longer is it a simple remastering, this is the sequel to sidescrolling insanity.
Forget your third dimension - Welcome to the Ragnarok Arena. Part II.
Arena Harder.

I Tell you what, I'm a bit of an impatient nerd. If things had gone my way, you all would have the latest version of Ragnarok Arena Remastered. Unfortunately, the version I uploaded had a small bug (Every time you shot someone, the server crashed) that would have probably been overlooked by the general public, but the team just demanded that I fix it.
But, what exactly is Ragnarok Arena?

This has all happened before and will happen again, and again.
Fortunately, I listened to the voice of reason and the new beta is being released in the time frame of now. What'd we add? Well, I can summarize the list with a few simple words: A few things.
Now, I know what you're saying to yourself RIGHT NOW. "Damn it, the original release was okay, but it had no servers." Fortunately, we have that covered with at least three dedicated, stable servers running right now with a new dedicated server archive released alongside the mod.
Now, a special treat for those of you who enjoy social contact while playing your game. I'll be holding a Skype conference with the team and anyone who wishes to drop by while playing the mod throughout all afternoon on Friday, April 10th. Look for us around 4PM Central Standard Time and extending off late into the night.
To get in on such prestigious wastes of bandwith, simply send the Skype username "RagnarokArenaSuperFriendsClub" a friend invite. Don't have Skype? You can find it here. It's free to use and all sorts of fun stuff. And remember, if you're not there.... you're probably someone who has something better to do with a Friday evening.

I played by myself for a little bit since there wern't any servers around. A suggestion i would have would be to allow the character to look the other way by using the mouse instead of the A or D key. I feel that that would add alot more dynamics in gameplay. Also rocket jumping.
I got it and played by myself for a little bit before uninstalling. It's like so 1 server, no players right now. Brilliant gameplay, but no one cares. :(
yea i would tottally play but no one is on and no servers >.>
Seems quite brown and 3D to me!
It's an unintended effect of the nextgens. :(
Looks really nice and just a little question: have you ever thought of a little singleplayer campain?
Sounds like a good idea to me! I'll forward that onto Ackart ;)
Hilarious intro up there, and loving the C&C death screams (and the whole idea of course). Reminds me of Soldat, will definitely give this a try.
Well I would if there were any servers =\
There's at least one server up now. :V
