I had to reread it a couple times to understand what the hell arena mode actually is, but now that I think I've got it figured out it sounds awesome.
Re: Heavy Updates... Next Week? - Riosan - 08-18-2008
Wait, so Arena mode is exactly like Sudden Death?
Edit: Lumberyard looks gorgeous. Absolutely amazing.
Re: Heavy Updates... Next Week? - Mission Difficult - 08-18-2008
Not quite. If you get killed, you're dead, but if you survive past a certain time, a point opens for capture. If you cap it, you win. If you kill the other team, you win. So yeah, it is a lot like sudden death.
Re: Heavy Updates... Next Week? - Vongore - 08-18-2008
there is only one hole on Arena mode.
PYROS!, with no medikits or the possibility of only 1 Medic per Team, a BB pyro (or a FT Pyro which could make a decent damage) Will be insta kill... Only one fire Backstab would kill any not-heavy class, because of the fire damage

So tomorrow is the long awaited secondary... does everyone really think it's a sandvich? Any other guesses?
Re: Heavy Updates... Next Week? - Scary Womanizing Pig Mask - 08-18-2008
Lumberyard looks awesome, I wish they made a non arena mode map in that type of location.
Arena mode looks to be a pyro spam fest like Vongore said, but Valve knows what they're doing, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Who said you can only have 1 medic?
Also, despite the lack of health packs, I think pyros might be a lot less useful than people think. A lot of what makes a pyro great is having good ambush skills. With smaller maps, there's just not going to be as many chances for that, especially when people are more cautious because of the fact that you only have one life to give. We'll see how it goes though. I might have 2 be just arena for a week or so to get a feel for the game mode, see which if any maps are worth incorporating into the rotation.
Re: Heavy Updates... Next Week? - Vongore - 08-18-2008
Oh well, and so, what do you think tomorrow's update will be?
The secondary? a Meet the:... video?
Or a release date for next week :B
Re: Heavy Updates... Next Week? - Fail Medic - 08-18-2008
I'm looking forward to Arena. As long as the overall round timer isn't too long, and people play smarter since it's one-life-only, it should be enjoyably tense. The indicator of whether it succeeded or not is the number of servers that may put "NO ARENA" in their names.
I also appreciate the new Alpine art style as it's very easy on the eyes. Does this mean the palate of a map maker is now increased, or is it just a fancy skybox and some tundra?
Re: Heavy Updates... Next Week? - cbre88x - 08-18-2008
The arena mode sounds to me like a Suppression match in COD4 or SOCOM. I like this..because people play differently when they know they won't respawn..me likey.

Can't wait to see new maps done up with the Alpine style. Kinda meh about the game mode, but whatever.

IAWTC. I've never understood why people have such an aversion to sudden death as it is. Surely, it's really fun to switch up the playstyle.
Re: Heavy Updates... Next Week? - Luca Shoal - 08-19-2008
I don't think you get one life in the Arena thing. You'll respawn as normal...but your team loses if you're ALL dead at the same time.

Ah, okay. Still, higher risk with dying. You probably don't want to be bunched up lest a crit rocket end it all.
Re: Heavy Updates... Next Week? - ainmosni - 08-19-2008
For me so far:
Good things:
- Bathwater basin: Seems like a cool PL map.
- cp_steel becoming stock: that's just awesome
- The new alpine style: I can't wait for pl/cp/ctf in it.
Meh:
- The heavy weapons: I barely play heavy and the weapons so far don't seem like they will make me play it more.
Dunno:
- The new game mode: I'm not sure about this, this could be a lot of fun or total fail... Time will tell...
All in all, not the best update but not the worst either... Still can't wait.
Re: Heavy Updates... Next Week? - ToiletDuck - 08-19-2008
hmm, sniper's going to be a big one in arena as they probably have the easiest way to do a 1hit kill... i dig it. :-*

The round ends once one team has no players left in the arena."Â Sounds like sudden death to me.
