New updates...keep on coming!
There will be another new update soon. It is a bit more extensive than the previous, and includes multiple map updates as well as weapon and player skin updates and additions.
There is another development that will excite longtime fans of the game, and that is a remake of the classic map "The Saucer". This map has been remade twice before, and will combine some elements of all three versions, as well as extend itself in new ways. This map is using some different methods, that point to the future of Alien Arena and will also feature some modular pieces for map makers to use for their own creations.
Speaking of maps, another map pack will be coming shortly as well!
Map Pack 1 released!
The first of many community map packs has been released as DLC on Steam! Next time you run the game it will install the new maps, so check them out, and blow some stuff up...
The engine has been updated with changes to the lighting parameters to give the game a bit more "pop" visually, and increase the 3d effect of normalmapping, as well as new pain effects. Lighting overall is a little more dramatic. Bots have some added code to give them more realistic weapon switching, so that you are not instantly probed with the Violator if you run into one around the corner - you now have a fighting chance.
Several of the weapons have had their skins dealt some minor graphic updates, and we have added a brand new Martian skin, "Deathray". Many of the Martian skins were given some updates as well.
Keep an eye out for a series of map packs that will be downloadable for free! This will include a number of historically popular CTF maps which has been a major request.
The next Alien Arena update will feature a number of new official maps, more info later on that.
New updates coming soon!
There will be a new update coming shortly, with some new features, new skins, and some graphic updates. We are beginning a new, renewed development phase that will keep the game moving forward.
In the near future there will be a new, FREE, map pack that you can download with a number of 3rd party and older official fan favorites that have been updated for the new version of the game.
Also keep your eye out for some new official maps, all brand-new, with some pretty wild themes later in the Summer!

Another big update coming!
An update will be coming in the next month that focuses very heavily on new content, and some more polish.
The major focus is on new maps, particularly CTF and Tactical. There will be 3 new CTF maps, including remakes of Terminal and Stronghold, as well as a brand new design. Stronghold and the new map will also have Tactical versions.
We have been made aware of some occasional "hitches" occuring when a player first begins playing, and are tracking down the source of the problem. This will be corrected in this update as well. There are a few other items being looked at that will add to the gameplay experience.
