Gladiator Arena mod for Star Trek: Elite Force

Gladiator Arena is a Last-Man-Standing game with a fast gameplay, higly modifiable. It comes with a match mode, where the summary of the score over a given amount of rounds declares the winner. Last-Man-Standing means: Every player has only one life. The goal is to survive all the other players.

Gladiator Arena brings like the name says the Gladiator flavour to this type of game: Every player gets one weapon, by which he can defeat himself - or be hunted, because other players want that weapon to have more chances to survive! B-)

The gameplay is increased, the weapons act faster - but this don't mean you gonna be fragged easier: The firepower is connected to the amount of players active in the arena. The more are playing the less power has a shot. So always have a look on how many players are alive and how good your health is...

And - like in a real Gladiator Arena - the bodies of fragged players don't disappear... ;)

Gladiator Arena allowes not only single Gladiators to test their skills in an arena. In Team Deathmatch you and your team stand against your opponent team to be the surviving team at last! For that you have to frag all members of the opponent team.

To make the game more interesting new weapons are manufactured for the Gladiator's fight:

- Killing Forcefield
- Seeker powerup shooting homing missiles
- Borg Weapons (known from Assimilation)
- Tripwired Grenades (known from Specialities)

While the game you get computer messages about placed Detpacks and Forcefields and how many players are active in the game. So you're always up-to-date to make your best strategic moves to be victorious at last!

Gladiator Arena does not support Assimilation, Action-Hero and Specialties. CTF and 1v1 is also not supported.

Instagib is supported, no XP needed to join the server. Even the very popular rifle jump of the original Instagib is available to use.

This modification uses the Unlagged 2.01 technology by Neil Toronto which includes a serverside ping lag compensation. This means that Gladiator Servers online in the internet provide a gameplay much like playing offline with bots or in a LAN. Instead of aiming ahead to compensate pings you can aim directly on your opponent - no matter what ping you have and what ping he has. To answer all your questions about this visit: Unlagged FAQ

Gladiator Arena can handle all maps of the Single Player mode! NPC spawn points are converted to regular DM spawn points, all doors are unlocked and forcefields are off. If a spawn point did cut off a player from the rest, a emergency transporter is available to escape the dead map spot.

It is no problem to host games with players above the usual limit of 12 to 16 players on a regular deathmatch map. With Gladiator Arena you get up to 32 players at one time in a map.

Also as a little bonus with Gladiator Arena you can use many custom maps of Quake 3 (Team) Arena. Therefor the Q3 pickups in these maps are converted to EF items.

Gladiator Arena is a complete server side modification. You can run a server and players can connect without having this mod installed!
