Arena is AWESOME

[Maxon]

Yeah I really didn't think my post out very well.  Just ignore me :o

Still don't care for Arena, but it just means I'll be playing on the #1 and #3 server mostly

Really disappointed with the new game mode.  It's just Sudden Death played constantly and making people sit out through half of it, which really doesn't make any sense to do to me.  I know they are trying to keep it smaller, but TF2 isn't tactical or strategic.  It ruins the whole flow of the game to me.
Now I love the map Lumberyard and I know it'll be no time at all when we'll see a version of it that is designed for the other gametypes since it easily stands out from the others.  Thankfully there is a seperate Area server so I can just stick to the main one.

Smited for ignorance. Bow to me pubscrub, and become one with the dark siiide.

For the record, I'm running a lot of arena maps on #2 now, but it's only for a week or two. Once everyone has a feel for the maps, I'll have a poll on what should stay and what should go. There will be a few arena maps in the rotation, and they'll always be votable, but I don't plan on making them a majority of the rotation.

Arena_Starship replaced cp_starship on #1, this is the only change I plan on making

All the other maps are VOTABLE on #1, they are at the very back of the nominations list.

Played a tiny bit of Arena on Ravine.

It was fun, my only gripe is that it's clear that Pyro's > All on that game mode.

Especially considering there is little to no health on the maps and only one spot for water (atleast on ravine).

Not to mention Pyro's as a spy are arguably one of the more difficult classes to backstab.

Pyros can't do shit if you act as a squad.

Any time you have more than 2 people, 1 of them should be a medic, end of discussion

If you stick close to your medic instead of wandering around they can put you out if you get caught on fire

Note: pyros dont have that much helath , and they require close range to do REAL damage, if your fast enough run, if your not fast enough you usualy have the means to kill him before he gets close.

protip: Natascha is VERY good against pyros you can see.

After finally getting to play arena I must agree; VERY good times were had. Especially on Arena_starship...

Arena starship was awesome. I even asked Caff and even he thinks it works better as an arena map.
