I've got a version of Ubuntu installed, and I found an FPS called Alien Arena in the repositories. Is it any good, and do many people play it online?

well i can't really tell you first hand but i have found out about it for you

Alien Arena 2008 is a multiplayer online deathmatch game based on the GPL id source code. Powered by version 7.1 of the CRX engine, this game features incredibly smooth and fast game play with next-generation engine features such as shaders, real-time per-pixel and per-vertex lighting and shadows, lensflares, light bloom, weather, and reflective water. The game includes over 40 levels, nine weapons (with alt-fire modes), five player characters, mutaters, six game play modes, and an in-game server browser. With modes like Team Core Assault, Cattle Prod, Duel, Deathball, Capture the Flag, and All Out Assault, Alien Arena has an endless replayability factor. Version 7.1 includes new maps, new models, new textures, and major engine enhancements.

its pretty good graphics by the looks of things and has a rating of 4 out of 200 votes so something must be right in there!

Here is a Preview shot i found as well



Looks like it could be a fun game!

I read that it wasn't Linux only, wait a while, check the ratings and then make your decision. Though i wold suggest something more like GRAW or COD4 but im not sure if Linux supports that.

Sounds fun, seems a little like UT. (not really though)

[PickleThief]

Yeah that is the same thing that i thought but the characters look a lot worse.

This looks well good.

Linux defonatly has some good games, and they're all free, mwahahahahahaaa!!
