so, my taking of it is that arena mode is CS stylee last-man-standing game mode, ie you have but one life?
like cp_elimination?
Where other game modes lean towards a broad overall strategy for the team over a number of lives, Arena concentrates on the specific tactical choices the teams make in a single fight.
So most y'all wont like it??
cos elimination went down like a lead balloon anytime it was played

I hear you toco, but instaspawn is too long for most peeps, what if you have to wait it out for 2-3mins while the two surviving snipers camp out waiting for each other to walk into their sights or the last surviving scout tries to take out that last engie/sentry?

We shall have answers to all these questions in the next 48 hours

I have to agree with Del on this. i like cp_elimination and it will be interesting to see how valve do it... but i can still hear the "this is fucking shit" "rtv rtv rtv rtv rtv rtv" spamming that went on when cp_elimination map was played...

some liked the game style some hated it but because its valve made will every one love the new game style? i think so

Sheep! lmao
