Important announcement
Hello, Ultimate Arena players.
We're sorry to have to bring some bad news:
We'd like to let everyone know that we are currently unable to issue frequent updates for Ultimate Arena as we intended. This unfortunate set of circumstances has come about due to the fact that we no longer have the proper resources to finance work on the game.
However, the game is certainly NOT dead and isn't going to shut down. The current build of Ultimate Arena will remain available for everyone to play and anyone will be able to start their own game server.
Should the situation change in the future, we'll be the first to let you know. As it stands, we have no other option but to put the project on hold for now.

On a personal note, I appreciate the positive feedback Ultimate Arena has received from the small but loud FPS Arena community.
We love FPS Arena as much as you do, which is the main reason we decided to make this game in the first place, instead of pursuing some other more profitable game genre.
In spite of all our efforts we reached a point where working on the game would put in jeopardy our day jobs, thus focing us into this decision. With only 2 people working on Ultimate Arena, we really don't have a choice.
Furthermore, we're sorry to see that most FPS game have taken the same turn. Wickland, Nexuiz and Painkiller H&D just to name a few.
It is apparent to us that the FPS Arena genre is no longer as popular as it once was.
The game however will get updates if we ever get the chance in the future. This is the best we can promise at this point.
We hope you understand the situation and we share your dissapointment.
