Suggestive Themes


What does that mean? IT'S NOT FOR KIDS! Mature audiences only. Recommended in more ways than one, since there isn't enough mature audiences around in online FPS games, if you know what I mean ;)

OpenArena is an open-source content package for Quake III Arena licensed under the GPL, effectively creating a free stand-alone game. You do not need Quake III Arena to play this game.

Welcome and thank you for downloading/copying OpenArena!

First this is a completely free game and always will be free!
The game is released under the terms of the GNU GPL v2 license.

OpenArena is a Free Content project. Its goal is to create new, original media while providing a stand-alone multiplayer game in the process.

The current supported gametypes are as follows:
- Free for All
- Team Deathmatch
- Tournament
- Capture the Flag
- One Flag Capture
- Overload
- Harvester
- Elimination
- CTF Elimination
- Last Man Standing
- Double Domination
- Domination

Instant Gib and All Rockets weapons modes are supported.

Simulated players, or "bots" are also available for your personal pulverizing pleasure.

If you don't want to play the game online click on "Single Player", then choose if to start one of the tier's match against predefined bots (Single Player Deathmatch) or starting a new game clicking on the "skirmish" button.

OpenArena at LAN-Party

For an easy setup one player (preferably the one with the fastest computer) should run the server:

    * Multiplayer
    * "Create"
    * choose a game type and a map
    * open slots for other players
    * start the game by pressing the "fight"-button

Now the other players should start "Multiplayer" and find the new server under "local".
