OpenArena

OpenArena is a free, open-source first-person shooter (FPS) released in 2005, based on the Quake III Arena engine (ioquake3). It was created as a fully free alternative to Quake III, replacing all proprietary assets with open-licensed content.

OpenArena is a fast-paced, arena-style deathmatch shooter — no story, no campaigns, pure fragfest. It's all about skill, speed, and reflexes. Think rocket jumps, rail shots, and chaotic multiplayer mayhem.

  • Capture the Flag — steal the enemy flag, protect your own
