Like Open Arena, the game play is very fast and challenging. No need to hunt for binaries or change file permissions, so that's nice.
OPEN ARENA MOD DOWNLOAD
When you download the DMG file, it installs as a simple app package. It always bugged me how much bandwidth that wasted.). Most rendered well, but a few were very slow (You'll notice I resisted the temptation to type out a dozen w's at the end of slow. This is slightly more resource hungry than Open Arena, and there's a wider disparity in frame rates from map to map. It's much like Open Arena, though a major difference is the addition of a Campaign mode where you can progress from level to level.
