Version 0.5 (open beta) of Rocket Arena 4 has just been made available to the public! You can find mirrors here, post bugs here and check out the main page here! The BETA is not compatible with id Software's Q4 1.1BETA patch, so if you want to test the mod you will have to revert back (see: reinstall) to the previous required Q4 update.

About Rocket Arena
Rocket Arena is very similar to standard deathmatch, in that players battle it out against each other for survival. The major differences are that the players all start with identical resources (including weapons, ammunition, health, and armor) and that all resources are removed from the map (preventing players from improving their condition). These two conditions focus the gameplay towards fighting and away from more traditional deathmatch techniques that involve resource domination.

Each Rocket Arena game contains one or more rounds. Each round begins by spawning players randomly throughout the map, or arena. Once a player is fragged, he or she is removed from play, and allowed to spectate. When one team has no more players in the arena, the other team wins the round and the next round begins. The team that wins the most rounds, wins the game. Games are played continuously.
