Do you like old school deathmatch with modern features but none of the frills that have ruined the raw purity of the genre? How about rich, colorful, arcadelike atmospheres? How about...retro Sci Fi? Then you're going to love what Alien Arena has in store for you! This game combines some of the very best aspects of classic deathmatch, and wraps them up with a retro alien theme, while adding tons of original ideas to make the game quite unique. Alien Arena is a furious frag fest with arenas ranging from the small, to the massive. With game modes such as Capture The Flag and Tactical, there are terrific team-based experiences to be had as well as 1v1 duels, free-for-all, and dozens of mutators to alter the game play to your liking. The community is friendly, as well as prolific. Dozens of maps, models, and various accessories have been created by community members to add on to the game experience.
An example of the difference between the new IQM format, and the old MD2 format. A picture says 1000 words.
Well it is s little bit better I guess...
You have to see it in-game to truly appreciate it. The MD2, even in this pic, you can see the horrendous vertex deformation, particularly in the facial area. In motion, the IQM model is much smoother, can bend at the waist for player pitch, and has no vertex swimming like the MD2 has.
Don't really see any difference :/
You have to be kidding. Shrug.
I can see the IQM model is sharper, but that's just it.
Look closer. The model on the right, in the area of the eyes, mouth, etc, are badly mishapen and deformed.
