The Story
Untold centuries ago the Vadrigar, the mysterious Arena Masters, constructed the Arena Eternal for their own infernal amusement. Virtually nothing is known of these beings except that they savor the carnage and clamor of battle. As such, they have stocked the arena with the greatest warriors of all time. And you have just joined their ranks.
As a gladiator in the Arena Eternal, you must not only survive, but also win each and every battle against ever more powerful opponents. Don't worry overly much about getting "fragged." The Vadrigar won't be cheated of their favorite sport by a little thing like death. Those who fall are instantly restored to life and immediately thrust back into the battle, perhaps a little wiser for their misfortunes.
When the dust, blood, and gibs settle, all warriors will have earned the right to battle again, providing further entertainment for the Vadrigar. But only the warrior who has fragged the most foes will be lauded as the winner. The victorious gladiator advances to a more challenging array of arenas, until, at last, he or she faces Xaero, Lord of the Final Arena.

Weapons
Gladiators in the Eternal Arena have a wide variety of weapons available to them. At the start of every match (or after they've been fragged), all combatants are armed only with a machine gun and gauntlet. Depending on the arena they're battling in, other weapons may be available. Ammunition for each weapon can usually be found in the same arena. Collect a weapon (or its ammunition) by running through it.

Gauntlet
The gauntlet combines a whirling saw blade with a powerful electrical charge to create a deadly close-combat weapon. Unlike the other weapons, the gauntlet needs no ammunition, so it's always ready to go.

Machine Gun
Although not particularly powerful, this weapon has a high rate of fire and can be used to blanket an area with a suppressing hail of bullets.

Ammo:

Shot Gun
One of the most common weapons scattered throughout the arenas, the shotgun delivers an instantly impacting shower of heavy pellets. Reloading causes a short delay between shots.

Ammo:

Plasma Gun
This powerful energy weapon unleashes a deadly stream of plasma pulses that rapidly consume its energy supply.

Ammo:

Grenade Launcher
The time-fused grenades fired by this weapon are incredibly powerful and have a wide blast radius. NOT IN DEMO

Ammo:

Rocket Launcher
The rockets fired by this heavy weapon have a large blast radius, enabling them to harm several targets at once. Be careful when using this weapon, since it's easy to include yourself in the explosion!

Ammo:

Lightning Gun
The most unusual weapon in the arena, the lightning gun unleashes a powerful stroke of electricity at its target. Despite its short range, nothing looks cooler than the lightning gun!

Ammo:

Rail Gun
This highly accurate weapon uses a linear accelerator to throw a depleted uranium slug at an incredible rate of speed. The gun's accelerator must recharge between shots, causing a delay before it can be fired again.

Ammo:

BFG-10k
An evolution of the plasma gun, the BFG-10K is the dream weapon of every gladiator in the arena. It hurls devastatingly powerful bursts of fusing plasma to mow down enemies. NOT IN DEMO

Ammo:

Ammunition
Every gun needs ammunition (excluding the gauntlet), without it its as useless as....well a gun without ammunition!

Per Box:
Health
There's no way around it: you're going to get hurt or even fragged running around the arena. You can tell how badly wounded you are by looking at the Health score displayed to the left of your character's face. At the start of every event, all gladiators begin with health scores of 125 (which counts down to 100). During the course of play, it's possible to increase your health beyond this value, although it will gradually count down to 100 when this happens. Cross-shaped health bonuses are scattered throughout most arenas. Restore your health by running through them.

Green
Each green cross you collect will add 5 points to your health (even beyond your maximum!).
Yellow
A yellow cross adds 25 points to your health, increasing it up to, but not beyond, its maximum rating of 100.
Gold
Every gold health cross you pick up adds 50 points to your health, up to its maximum rating of 100.
Armor
There are three types of armor available in the Arena Eternal. At the start of a match, you won't have any, so you'll have to look for it. Although the normal maximum armor rating you can have is 100, some improvements allow you to increase it beyond this limit, up to a limit of 200. Whenever your armor rating is above 100, it will gradually count down until it reaches that mark, even if you aren't taking damage. Your current armor rating is displayed on the bottom right corner of the screen.

Armor Shard
These fragments improve your armor rating by 5 points, increasing it even beyond the normal maximum of 100 points.
Combat Armor
Donning a yellow combat armor vest improves your armor rating by 50 points.
Heavy Armor
A suit of red heavy armor will increase your armor rating by 100 points.
Flags & Items
Flags
Red/Blue Flag: When you're playing in a Capture the Flag event, each team is given a standard to guard. You score points by grabbing the enemy banner and carrying it back to your own base NOT IN DEMO.
Power-Ups
Power-ups are items that take effect the instant you touch them. They remain in effect for a short time, which is counted down on your screen, and then expire.

Battle Suit
This golden shell protects the wearer from lava, slime, drowning, and other hostile conditions (including splash damage from weapons). Be careful. Even a Battle Suit won't protect you from the Fog of Death or the Void! NOT IN DEMO

Flight
A Flight pack is a small anti-gravity generator allowing a gladiator to propel him- or herself through the air with minimal effort. Flight packs are only available in multiplayer games. NOT IN DEMO

Haste
This tachyon accelerator creates a bubble of compressed time, greatly increasing the gladiator's movement speed and rate of fire.

Invisibility
This unit bends light around its user, making a gladiator very difficult to see. However, muzzle flashes and power-up glows are still fully visible. NOT IN DEMO

MegaHealth
When you pick up a MegaHealth, your health is increased by 100 points (even beyond your maximum).

Quad Damage
When you scoop up a Quad Damage, your weapons are supercharged for a brief period of time.

Regeneration
When you grab the Regeneration, your health will gradually increase until it reaches 200 or the effect times out. NOT IN DEMO

Carried Items
Some items are picked up and carried with your gladiator until you choose to activate them. It's important to remember that you can only have one item at a time. Before you can pick up another, you have to use the one you already have. Once activated, the effect is instantaneous.

Medkit
This battlefield medical kit contains a wide array of healing and pain killing chemicals. When activated, its computer brain diagnoses the users injuries and instantly restores the gladiator to full health (100). NOT IN DEMO

Teleporter
A personal teleporter is a small unit with the ability to fold space around its user. When activated, it instantly transports the user to a random point in the arena.

Medals
Medals measure and instantly reward outstanding combat performance. When a player receives a verbal praise award, such as "Excellent!" the medal for that award appears above the gladiator's head. It swiftly fades away. All your medals of that type earned in this match are displayed for you. They also swiftly fade. When the match ends, all medals earned in the match are proudly displayed. Between matches you see the grand totals for all medals earned since the game began. The RESET control will wipe these values out.

Excellent: Awarded for making two frags made within two seconds.

Impressive: Awarded for two consecutive hits with the rail gun.

Frags: Awarded each time you make 100 frags.

Accuracy: Awarded when your percentage of hits-to-shots is greater than 50%.

Gauntlet: Awarded each time you make a frag with the gauntlet.

Perfect: Awarded when you are victorious in an arena without being fragged even once yourself.

Cheats
First off, start a server with cheats enabled using the devmap command in the console ("~". Example: "devmap q3test1" (where q3test1 is the file name of the map). Once in the game, go back in the console and type any of the following and hit "ENTER" to activate.
