TF2 - Arena Night

Yesterday evening after many ToJs left for the evening, we played some arena matches. It was an enjoyable time. We should do it again!

Perhaps set each map with a 15 minute time limit? I assume the map doesn't change until a team has won the match (three consecutive rounds). So it would make for 15-20 minute per map. Each round is short, about 2 minutes long. It would allow for 7-10 rounds per map.

For those who haven't played arena mode, here is more info: http://www.steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/arena.htm

When arena first came out I didn't like it however I got to playing it with SoC's Rattler a little while ago and I got where I like it ok. The only thing about arena I don't like is when there is no medic, hence me playing medic most of the time last night. Having said that I am all for playing some more arena sometime because it was good with you guys around :)

I don't know how to set the maps up that way yet. I was changing the maps manually last night so I don't know when it changes normally, didn't see the "time to next map" display like I've got it set up on our normal rotation. We managed to go through all the arena maps too. I'll try to run arena again some next Tuesday :)

It was fun. ^___^

"Flawless Victory!"
"First Blood!"
"First Blood!"
"First Blood!"

xD
 
Never played Arena before. I find it an interesting change of pace, a sudden death mode for TF2.

I enjoyed all the BBQ I made last night in Arena.
 
I thought arena was really fun with the small group we had. I'd definitely be up for trying a arena game night.

One Rule Though: Keero is not invited. I'm tired of backstabs and heavies at 5 feet :D J/K
 
I prefer the regular maps myself, but I also think Arena is a good change of pace.

Did they add the "Flawless Victory" and "First Blood" announcements in a later patch? I played Arena a fair bit when it first came out and it didn't have that. That being said, back then I played mostly with a Canadian community called "The Northern Resistance", perhaps it was just turned off on their servers.
 
It now announces First Blood and that person gets 5 seconds of guaranteed crits. Just ask Keero what getting the first kill as a heavy in a small room with everyone will do.

It also announces Flawless Victory usually followed by something along the lines of "Now do it again!"
 
Dbot and I played arena almost nonstop for a couple weeks after it came out, so if we made it a regular part of our game time that would be great!
