Web Server Going Down For Rebuild Monday May 18th @ 6pm CDT
Hello all, you probably rarely hear from me, but I am the hosting provider for this website. I wanted to let everyone on here know that our primary server is going to be going down for a complete rebuild tomorrow Monday May 18th, 2015 @ 6pm CDT. This downtime is expected to last at least 4 hours. Generate track 1 and track 2. However, depending how things get shuffled around, this site may be moving to the alternate server which would reduce the downtime significantly. If this site is on the list to be transferred, I will keep you all posted.
OpenArena Community Mappack Volume 1 v3 Re-Release
Due to some certain problems, first with a pair of bugs and then with a non-Free asset, the OpenArena Community Mappack Volume 1 had to be, well, repackaged. The good thing is that this time the 100% of it is still GPLv2-compliant. Server admins who are going to use the pack should delete the old versions of this pack (and if you were using betas, those as well) and use this new version instead. Likewise, people who's going to mirror this pack must use this version and delete the older ones.
And, in the name of the OACMP team, sorry for all of the inconveniences!
For information about the pack, head this way.We are also gauging interest for the second volume, so if you like to map, we're waiting for you in the Maps subforum!

Site theme change
UPDATE: It has been reverted.
Thanks for the feedback!
I've temporarily changed the theme of the site to gather opinions about it.
It's not permanent; the site will return to its old azure self in a week.
Also, Neko's in the random header. She's still not done unfortunately, all the attempts at rigging her so far have been bad.
OpenArena Editor's Review
OpenArena is a first person shooter licensed under GPL.OpenArena is a content package of Quake III. When I think of popular first person shooters, Quake immediately pops to my mind. Quake III was specially designed to be a multiplayer game. There is also a single player mode to practice. The more you practice, the more you'll unlock maps and learn the game-play. In single player mode you compete with artificial intelligence bots. On low levels they aren’t a real threat to you. If you chose a higher level of intelligence they will shoot if they have the chance. A particularity of the single player mode is the personality of the bots. Depending of the model character they can have special abilities as ducking or jumping. They may also chat with you or between them during a deathmatch.
OpenArena, as Quake did, focuses on multiplayer LAN and Internet deathmatches. The real action starts on Internet servers. You can pick up weapons from the ground, power-ups, armor and even special abilities like invisibility. OpenArena is a fast playing game, so the user doesn't always have time for switching to the last, more powerful, gun picked up on the way. By default, the game will automatically select it for you. In my test, I joined an Internet server for a few moments. Hours passed until I quit. The game-play is quite addictive. Internet games are fast even if you have a slow connection. I wasn't able to create a local area network game to play with other Mac users, but we managed to find an empty on-line server and took the fight over there.
Design and graphics are good, but not realistic. The whole game is fantasy like. The arenas where the action really happens aren't big, which means that if more than 10 players sign in you get a slaughter. Special gun effects are quite impressive for an open source game. In-game menus are Quake III style. You also get a voice that tells you things during a game the deathmatch status.
Pluses: free, good graphics and special effects, exciting multiplayer deathmatches.
Drawbacks / flaws: if you die, re-spawn is quite random, so you might end up between other players' fire.
