Alien Arena 2008 Receives Graphics Improvements

When it comes to game-play there is an invisibility power-up that has been added along with a reward system, weapon inventory is shown in the heads-up display, new effects, bots using alt-fire in vehicles, and new weapon icons. Some of the added and improved in-game effects are for shockwave weapons, CTF flag capture, rotating particles, bloodstains, and bullet holes. An anti-lag feature has also been added to Alien Arena 2008. When it comes to Linux and Alien Arena 2008 there is now support for the Linux/X11 clipboard, directory support, and windowed mouse fixes. Three new maps also made their way into version 7.20 and they include dm-liberation, ctf-cryogenic, and tca-cryogenic.

Alien Arena 2008 7.20 is currently available for Windows and Linux platforms with a Mac OS X version currently in the works. The graphics rendering is definitely much better in version 7.20 of this game and they are now much on the same stage as Nexuiz.
