Amazing Open Source Game!

After John Carmack and co published the Quake 3 source code in June 2005, the open source community started programming and working on OpenArena. An enginewise clone and it seems weaponwise clone (not the models though) of Quake 3: Arena.

Gameplay is great even though the game is only at v0.6, with bot support and quite a lot of maps and textures etc. There are also some dedicated servers to be found on the site as well.

Open Source gaming is really picking up, and a special thanks to id and Carmack for being the contributors they are.
