COR Entertainment sent us a batch of screenshots from Alien Arena 2006: Gold Edition, a new version of the game which features an enormous amount of improvements, fixes, and tweaks since the release of the original Alien Arena 2006 in November, and will be released in about 1 week's time. Players can expect 9 new maps (for a total of 32), alternate firing modes for every weapon, greater responsiveness for certain weapons, extensive use of shaders, substantial AI improvements, increased visibility and greater control over visual effects, and a new vehicle. Alien Arena 2006: Gold Edition will use version 5.0 of the CRX engine which features new items such as optional detail textures and emboss filtering, new menu and transparent HUD, shader support for models and map specific texture shaders, and a new particle engine that is not only visually improved, but more efficient and resulting in better framerates.
