File Instructions:: Do you like fast paced deathmatch? How about rich, colorful, arcadelike atmospheres? How about...retro Sci Fi? Then you're going to love what Alien Arena 2007 has in store for you! This game combines some of the very best aspects of such games as Quake III and Unreal Tournament and wraps them up with a retro alien theme, while adding tons of original ideas to make the game quite unique.

Alien Arena 2008 is the latest version of a freeware online deathmatch game that was first introduced to the public in October, 2004. Since that time, the game has been downloaded nearly 1 million times, and currently stands at revision 7.0 (March 1, 2008 release). In October 2007, Linux.com reviewed Alien Arena, annointing it as the very best of the free online games available at the time. Alien Arena has been reviewed and featured on cover DVD's by dozens of gaming publications, including heavy hitters such as PC Power Play and PC Gamer, as well as being featured on gaming media outlets such as GIGA Tv.

The goal of Alien Arena was to create the perfect marriage between Quake and Unreal Tournament, between retro sci-fi and futuristic tech, and between casual gamer and advanced expert, and wrap it up in a package with quality that could rival that of commercial games. The game has a weapon set that is unique and fun, and deviates a bit away from the standard Q3 or UT2k4 weapons. Gameplay can be altered easily in the menu by choosing between the various game types, such as Deathmatch, Team Core Assault, All Out Assault, Capture the Flag, Duel, and Cattle Prod. Users can also apply a number of different mutators to the game rules as well, creating some pretty interesting scenarios. Players can join others on servers using the in-game browser, or use the Galaxy client, which also serves as a way to communicate with the large, and friendly Alien Arena community.

Using the CRX engine, which is based on the Id GPL source code, Alien Arena includes modern effects such as real time lighting and shadows, lensflares, light blooms, reflective water, textured particles, stainmaps, 32 bit color, shaders, fog, weather effects, and much more. The engine has been optimized with each release, and will run very nicely even on older hardware. Netcode is tried and true, and runs smooth even on high ping servers, and has been made very secure to malicious attacks. Development of the engine continues at a torrid pace, and with each release moves closer in quality to that of commercial gaming.

Alien Arena is a fast paced, furious frag fest with arenas ranging from the small, to the massive. With a large built-in player base, it's never hard to find a good match going on, at any hour of the day. 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.

Alien Arena features team based gameplay as well, such as Team Core Assualtl, a mode in which players must work together to disable their enemy team's central metal spider. Don't forget about the Team Deathmatch, Cattle Prod, Capture the Flag, Deathball, and All Out Assault mode(in which players can enter vehicles) either. For the 1v1 players, Alien Arena now features a duel mode!

SINGLE PLAYER CODERED GAMES

For those who like the single player experience, COR offers two single player games, CodeRED: Battle For Earth and CodeRED: The Martian Chronicles. *Note - these games are very old, and use a much older version of the CRX engine, and are no longer in development.

In BFE, you play a URF soldier, Commander Joseph Hicks, who has learned that his commanding officer, General Braddock, has betrayed the URF and is working with alien invaders to take over planet Earth. Entering a devasted post-apocolyptic world, you do your best to fend of the invasion of the maniacle Martians and their contraptions of death. In time, you come to realize that the URF has secrets of it's own, and that you are all alone...

The Martian Chronicles picks up some years later. Now a decorated officer for your efforts on Earth, you have been sent to Mars to investigate the disappearance of combat troops. It appears a new leader has assumed control, codenamed "Big Brain", and is massing a new army. Your mission is to find him, and put a stop to his plans. Along the way, you'll see incredible Martian facilities and landscapes, and horrors that you could have never imagined.
