Alien Arena
By Irritant_new | Released Aug 21, 2004
Alien Arena is a standalone that combines a sci-fi atmosphere with the tournament style deathmatch of Q3A and UT2k4. With major graphical features such as GLSL per-pixel lighting, ragdoll physics, light blooms, real time lights and soft shadows, Alien Arena brings a level of beauty and immersion not generally seen in deathmatch. 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 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, which feature multiple skill levels, and will rocket jump, strafe jump, and taunt you mercilessly.

I'm not sure if this has to do with system requirements or the game not being downloaded properly, but I have a problem with the sound. It's not playing at all, not even sound effects or music, and the settings are on high and it's simply silent.
Reply to this ASAP if you can help me! :)
Same happened to me a while ago but the sound worked again later i don't know how it got fixed.
How can we help you, without providing system information, operating system, etc?
Very good, love it!
Well done guys! Quality as usual!
waz up! great game!!
Quick question, is this still running off id Tech 2? It was when I played it years ago. I think I'll try the latest version :D
It is still based on id Tech 2, but it's completely rewritten into a modern rendering system.
We had some delays, it will be coming very soon.
ok thank you for the reply im sure it will be worth the weight.. oops wrong company :D
