Alphatius 2 is a PvP Arena FPS made for Q-Zandronum. It aims to modernize the classic "boomer shooter" genre with its own twists, while staying true to its roots.

Image
  • 7 Weapons with unique alternate fire modes and 32 weapon modifiers to change functionality.
  • 5 Travel abilities for movement and evasion, 6 Action abilities for combat support (e.g., decoys, healing zones, lasers).
  • 7 Passive abilities that support different playstyles.
  • A custom loadout system that lets players choose starting weapons and abilities.
  • 20 maps: 14 deathmatch, 6 duel.
  • Unique ammo system where weapon energy recharges after a short delay.
  • 4 special pickups enhancing new mechanics.
  • Tutorial and Firing Range to help new players learn weapons and abilities.

The voxel-like weapons are an interesting choice.

That, combined with the fast movement speed makes me think of UltraKill. :razz:
Reinforcements: midgame Survival joining/respawning
Doom64: Unabsolved: Doom64 + Diablo II
ZandroSkins: a pack made by our community
AeniPuffs: 3D blood and bullet puff effects, free to use for your own mods
Squad Radio: a WASD-based radio chat menu, add your own custom sounds!
Mercenaries (on hold)
