Alien Arena 2009 7.30

Alien Arena 2009 7.30 is designed as a very interesting and cool game that is a multiplayer online deathmatch game based on the GPL id source code. This game features incredibly smooth and fast game play with next-generation engine features such as shaders, real-time per-pixel and per-vertex lighting and shadows, lensflares, light bloom, weather, and GLSL shader effects.

The game includes over 60 levels, nine weapons (with alt-fire modes), six player characters, mutaters, six game play modes, and an in-game server browser. With modes like Team Core Assault, Cattle Prod, Duel, Deathball, Capture the Flag, and All Out Assault, Alien Arena has an endless replayability factor. The renderer has been extensively rewritten and now uses GLSL per-pixel lighting shaders on all game surfaces.
