OpenArena (OA) is a first person arena shooter [game](game.md), a [free as in freedom](free_software.md) [clone](clone.md) of the famous game Quake 3. It runs on [GNU](gnu.md)/[Linux](linux.md), [Winshit](windows.md), [BSD](bsd.md) and other systems, it is quite light on system resources but does require a [GPU](gpu.md) acceleration (no [software rendering](sw_rendering.md)). Quake 3 engine ([Id tech 3](id_tech3.md)) has retroactively been made free software: OpenArena [forked](fork.md) it and additionally replaced the proprietary Quake assets, such as 3D models, sounds and maps, with community-created Japanese/nerd/[waifu](waifu.md)-themed [free culture](free_culture.md) assets, so as to create a completely free game. OpenArena plays almost exactly the same as Quake 3, it basically just looks different and has different maps. It has an official [wiki](wiki.md) at https://openarena.fandom.com and a forum at http://www.openarena.ws/board/. OpenArena has also been used as a research tool.
As of 2023 most players you encounter in OA are [cheating](cheating.md) (many [americans](usa.md) play it), but if you don't mind that, it's a pretty comfy game.
As of version 0.8.8 there are 45 maps and 12 game modes ([deathmatch](deathmatch.md), team deatchmatch, [capture the flag](ctf.md), last man standing, ...).
A bit of [fun](fun.md): you can redirect the chat to text to speech and let it be read aloud e.g. like this:
