Introduction

Arena DS is a game level for the open source game Tremulous. The intention of this map was to remake the map DS-Arena (by TRaK) to improve its aged appearance and to give new players easier access. Built from scratch, the map features a DS-Arena-like layout. It also includes a new texture set (mas02) that improves the visuals. The side tunnels were supplemented with a connection to the front.
