Our third major update is out!
The engine has been updated with changes to the lighting parameters to give the game a bit more "pop" visually, and increase the 3d effect of normalmapping, as well as new pain effects. Lighting overall is a little more dramatic. Bots have some added code to give them more realistic weapon switching, so that you are not instantly probed with the Violator if you run into one around the corner - you now have a fighting chance.
Several of the weapons have had their skins dealt some minor graphic updates, and we have added a brand new Martian skin, "Deathray". Many of the Martian skins were given some updates as well.
Keep an eye out for a series of map packs that will be downloadable for free! This will include a number of historically popular CTF maps which has been a major request.
The next Alien Arena update will feature a number of new official maps, more info later on that.
