	Generations Arena - Promotional Video (I)
=================================================================================

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Heads Up!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The video that is accompanied by this readme is a Generations Arena teaser. The
footage was recorded from actual gameplay of the current private beta version,
which is a Work in Progress. What you see in this video is NOT a final product;
it features some placeholders and we're working hard to make it better, leaner
and ever more befitting of the title: "Best Damn Nostalgia Mod Ever". 

We've decided to lift the veil slightly, to give you a little whiff of what
Generations Arena has grown to be, because we have made a lot of progress since
the current public beta (.99f, which can be found on our website) was released.

Generations Arena 1.0 is in sight, coming ever nearer
  -- and it's beginning to smell... like old-school carnage.

  Generations Arena:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generations Arena is an "ultimate tribute" to id Software (developer of the Quake
and Doom series) as well as id's fans. Developed and released under the Quake3
engine, Generations Arena recreates all the classic First-Person-Shooter gameplay
styles, physics, and weaponry that FPS players have come to know and love.

Players select their favorite "generation" among five choices. Each generation
"class" has its own unique character, weapons, physics, and gameplay, all styled
after such classic FPS deathmatches as Doom, Quake, and Quake2. Each class
represents a particular style of FPS gameplay, so Quake2 fans feel at home with
the Strogg Troopers, QuakeWorld fans enjoy the Slipgate class, and so on.

Once players make their selection, they battle it out online against other
players, generation versus generation. BFG balls sear the air, lightning guns fry
unlucky swimmers, nailguns and chainguns cut through opponents, and chainsaws,
fists, and axes deliver humiliations all around. Players can battle in Free For
All, Team Deathmatch, Tournament, and Capture The Flag modes of play, or use the
bot support to create computer opponents to train against.

GenArena Version includes all five Generations, over 40 weapons to choose from,
new powerups and powerup effects, techs, grapples, and much more, with support
for server administrators to select what powerups, techs, and even classes are
used in their game. All standard Quake3 multiplayer modes are available; additi-
onal modes are being considered for a later release.

Unlike its predecessor, Quake2:Generations, Generations Arena has been designed
from the ground up to provide the ultimate mod for id Software fans without
infringing on the rights of id Software themselves. WireHead Studios has worked
hard to recreate many elements of "classic deathmatch" without infringing any
copyrights. WireHead Studios hopes its fans thoroughly enjoy the first legal
release of the "Generations" legacy.
