Alien Arena 2008
By Irritant_new | Released Oct 17, 2008
Alien Arena 2008 is a standalone game based off of the Quake II/III source that combines a classic sci-fi atmosphere with the tournament style deathmatch of Q3A and UT2k4. With major graphical enhancements such as hi-res 24/32 bit tga textures, light blooms, real time lights and shadows, per pixel lighting, stainmaps, 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 all original artwork, with player models in the 2000 poly range, hi-res textures, and trippy, techno type music. There are currently over 45 maps, loaded with weapons(each having an alternate firing mode) and powerups.
Alien Arena has fast, smooth gameplay with a high-tech atmosphere, and players can play online against one another or against the bots, which feature multiple skill levels, and will rocket jump, strafe jump, and taunt you mercilessly.

Work continues for the next release of Alien Arena 2008, and there are already a number of nice enhancements. We have managed to further optimize the engine to give another 15 percent increase in average FPS. Results vary depending on CPU - lower end CPU's see a larger increase than high end. Video settings have now been given a separate brightness and contrast filter, and default model lighting is now per-vertex and contrast has been added to that lighting. All of this makes player visibility much better, especially in any dark areas of maps. We are currently working on a map voting system, and have a number of new maps in the works.
Unfortunately, the Mac port has been delayed. It has been promised to me that it would have been done by now, but this is totally out of my hands. From what I've been told it's done for the most part, but a few issues need to be resolved. I will update the status of it as soon as I get updated myself.
7.01 should be released sometime in May, barring unforseen circumstances. I'll update with more information on new features and changes when more work has been completed.

this is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So. Is there a mac version?
I can't see how you CAN'T like this game. It's almost as good as Quake 3, the graphics are better (yes, I have to say it, even though graphics don't matter), the gameplay is fast and frantic, and the community is awesome. Go play this now!
This game is great ive been playing for nearly two months now and its just great with an extremly nice community
this game is one of the best games on the Freeware market, if not THE best (no offense to those other guys). Alien Arena combines some real old school balls to the wall fragging action with some great graphics that just keep getting better. As a member of the community, I'd like to respond to all those asking if modelers and such are needed, anyone who wishes to contribute is more than welcome to, just come to IRC or the forums and chat with us. We're a pretty friendly bunch :)
This game just keeps getting better and better, new game modes - joust, tca ,tca-aoa. Realtime lighting recently added, new fonts for a smarter look, then there's the gameplay. Fast, frantic, mental. Love the game :D
Anyone gonna make a mac version for this?

This is an awesome game! I played the older version a few months ago on Download.com, and completely awesome. I'll download soon!
Are you guys in need of any more modelers? possibly for another game?
