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.
The CRX engine that powers Alien Arena is very scaleable and will run extremely well even on older hardware while still delivering smooth, slick graphics and visual effects.
The game features a dark sinister atmosphere combined with an off-the-wall campiness, and trippy, techno type music. There are currently over 15 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.

It has begun! A new era for Alien Arena has launched, the culmination of four years of development that resulted in a complete overhaul of the game.
The fast-paced, old-school shooter remains true to it's roots...no loadouts...no forced matchmaking...no in-game purchases to give advantages to other players...no differences in character abilities. It remains a true Arena FPS game. Fast...brutal...viscerally gory, yet appealing. Innovations such as the Minderaser, All Out Assault, and Tactical keep the game pushing the envelope foward and keeping things from getting stale.
The game features a traditional server browser that allows you the freedom to join whatever server you wish, with matchmaking "advice" rather than "restriction". We also allow for a variety of graphical tweaks, settings, and scaleability that make the game far more playable than the typical AAA game in this genre.
If you love fast paced, wild action, and a cool retro sci-fi theme...if you love Arena FPS games...you're going to fall in love with AA: WoM. It has everything that the fans of the genre have been clamoring for over the years, but have been ignored by the AAA titles. Grab a copy today, and get fragging!
Follow the game on Steam, and stay tuned for prize tournament announcements over the coming weeks, all leading up to Winter Dreamhack 2017, where COR Entertainment will be hosting a variety of Alien Arena tournaments!

Has Alien Arena been updated at all since 7.51? The change log only mentions the 64bit version of 7.51 being uploaded and when I looked at desura/common/alien-arena-2008/README, it says it is 7.51. Why has it gone a year and a half without an update?
It's been updated several times since then. Why not just install it from Red.planetarena.org?
Ubuntu Forever... Game MAX
What actions can you perform in the game? When I mean "actions" I mean sprint, jump, crouch, prone, etc...
You can jump, crouch, dodge, strafe, etc. It's not like a military shooter, it's more like Unreal Tournament or Quake in regards to movement. It's a hybrid between those too, and very fast-paced.
Will have another article and update soon about a new map, and some other cool stuff.
My main question is if you can go prone. Is this possible?
EDIT: Oops, I meant to reply to the the post concerning movement.
No, you cannot go prone. This game is all about fast movement and gameplay, going prone would make you a sitting duck in these arenas.
Ok, thanks for the confirmation. Well, I have one more question. Does a Disrupter kill someone with one shot anywhere in the body, or does it take a headshot? Pleeeeaaaaase tell it's a one-headshot kill!
Disruptor to the body takes at least two direct hits(unless you're in instagib mode). Disruptor to the head is one shot, one kill, regardless of mode.
