http://www.ausgamers.com/images/features/openarena.jpg A new version of the neato free, open source Quake 3-based FPS OpenArena has hit the streets. Some of the key points from the changelog:

- New player model : Assassin. This guy kills for greed.
- New player model : Space Marine. This guy serves his Corps. In SPACE.
- New player skin : Angelyss/Neko. Mew!!!!!! :3
- New player skin : Grism/Indigo. A homage of that other game.
- Ayumi/Neko, Angelyss/Sly have been atticed due to quality reasons.
- lots of maps and changed maps, at least 8 new significant maps to play! This includes the reworked oa_dm3 and oa_dm5.
- oa_ctf2 is more balanced, slightly retextured.
- Elimination and CTF elimination game types. No one respawns until the round is over.
- Double domination game type. Two teams must control two points on the map for 10 seconds to score.
- Last Man Standing game type. The name of the game is self explanatory.
- Instant Gib option, gives everyone only a railgun that does kills instantly.
- All Rockets option, makes everyone only have a rocket launcher.
- Unlagged tracehits option, provides a more responsive feel for railguns, machineguns and shotguns.
- Classic Grism aren't teamskins anymore. This means the 'white' skin will not show up during team games. In addition, the skins can be used for FFA again.
- Completely in SDL.
- BFG BFG BFG BFG

You can nab the latest version locally from AusGamers (there's also a zip version with both Linux and Windows executables).

I just jumped on a random server and it was a remake of dm4 from Quake, heh

I clicked on the link solely because it had boobies.

Good news, we always play this at our lans.

The rail gun f***ing sucks though and the lightning gun is a tad too rape.

Other then that, it's good :) Just needed some new maps.

This is exactly Quake III Arena with different assets. :)
