I can't wait to try out the Arena mode tonight! Wooohooo

 

[Sgt. McAwesome]

Are we having another achievement party like we did with the Medic and Pyro?

 

[NeOfito]

O.O Nice!

Honestly, 1 hour is way too long for the arena maps. I'd say 20-30 mins is ok. Just like our events.

People were starting to leave in rage because the map 'badlands' would not change.
Please consider this, council.

Yes this is true i was playing on this server earlier and the only map seemed to be Badlands. Everytime we got close to the map changing the server crashed or went down. Every time people joined in again the map would be Badlands and the timer would start back from 60 mins. Please consider changing the time limit we would all be very grateful.

What we need is an Arena server. We should have a poll where everyone votes on which is their favourite Arena maps out of the 5 available, and the winner could be the eGO's 24/7 arena map. Someone on out Steel server was asking whether we were going to add an arena map server so I'd post it here.

We have an arena server. See Master of Puppet's first post.
