Description
Alien Arena 2008 is a free standalone deathmatch game based on source code released by id Software. Begun by COR Entertainment in 2004, the game combines a 1950s-era sci-fi atmosphere with gameplay similar to the Quake, Doom, and Unreal Tournament series. Alien Arena focuses mainly on online multiplayer action, although it does contain single player campaigns against bots.
Alien Arena has been released for Microsoft Windows, Linux and FreeBSD. Alien Arena has been free-to-play since its inception, and there are currently no plans to change it to pay-to-play.

Message after installing
Alien Arena (native version) has been installed. 1) The OSS (native FreeBSD sound) version of Alien Arena 2011 (named "alienarena") uses by default a slow sound speed, which causes a notable delay. To solve this you have to run it once like this: $ alienarena +set sndspeed <speed> Where <speed> could be 22050 and 44100 for example (the default that has the delay is 11025, and the SDL version uses 22050). The value of "sndspeed" will be saved in the configuration file for future runs. 2) Use +set in_dgamouse 0 if it is crashing when a new game is loading 3) Enjoy it :)
