Harsh.
I certainly don't agree that the only thing worth playing is user created. The base game is simply fine, and it brings me back to playing Quake III so long ago, back before I lost my CD Key. It may be old, but it's not bad for it. At least it's better than Nexuiz or Alien Arena. I do agree that the game does get old after a while, and isn't for a long play period. Half an hour period between other worthy multiplayer fraggers, or a good warm up? Heck yes! -------------------- I have been informed that today is, in fact, opposite day, and what you've written there is absolutely true so you should probably just go.

I didn't think the base gameplay was very enjoyable, there's little to no personality in the basic game, even with the update that came out recently, Quake III on the other hand did have some personality that made it more enjoyable. The game feels bland without the user created content, that was my point. -------------------- |

This remake doesn't have that addition, and it does make the game less professional. I still like the gameplay, though, in moderation.  And I can't stand Nexuiz. Horrible interface, boring maps, soulless models, and a really bad engine to top it all off. -------------------- I have been informed that today is, in fact, opposite day, and what you've written there is absolutely true so you should probably just go.

The engine I don't know... |

Also Openarena is still updating, its promising in some ways but can totally see some of the points about the gameplay and whatnot. I still believe though that Alien Arena is still one of the tops in the FPS freeware genre, its also overgone a big update and some nice graphical changes and new additions, but thats just my take.

Alien arena is awesome. If there's a thing I love is the martian theme. |

If you want to play something that doesn't necessarily always have the same guidelines and rules with each server I consider OpenArena the best, it certainly has the finest community.
