COR Entertainment, LLC has released Alien Arena 2007 6.10, a blockbuster, monumental version of this free, open source engined game!

Linux.com has reviewed version 6.10 (http://www.linux.com/feature/119775) stating that it "Blows away it's FPS competition" and with good reason!

Version 6.10 features seven, brand new, sizzling maps, new duel mode for 1v1 action, netcode and security improvements, signifigant renderer optimizations and enhancements, and an all new scaled GUI. However, the big story with version 6.10 besides the stunning new content, are the major changes in gameplay. New features such as spawn protection, faster weapon respawns, a new health and ammo system, have been augmented by a brand new weapon - the frightening Violator! The weapons themselves are now more balanced and responsive, with features that now allow for additional trick jumping techniques. On the client side, input is now perfectly smooth, and the scaled HUD and fonts make for a more polished looking product, and best of all, the implementation of http dowloading of custom content via CURL means no more long waits to join servers while downloading new levels!
