looks shit – will hope etf2l keeps 6v6 and not this bag of wank

mh, could be interesting, if it’s not then we always have good old etf2l and the other leagues to fall back on

5v5 Arena looks okay, but when you’re used to particular gamemodes, most competitive players won’t enjoy the transformation, won’t be the same game.

It won’t really hurt if we have it.

this actually looks pretty good

– no classlimits will please 6s and HL people
– no weapon limits would please valve since they can keep on selling all their ridiculous shit
– every round creates hype moments since lot of 1v1s 1v2s etc
– diversitiy because of “picks and bans”
– fast paced game mode – no stalemates like in 5cp or endless hey lets watch him push a cart on payload

it also helps to level the playing field (at least slightly) to incorporate pub players – comp players will have to learn the gamemode just the same as the others, and won’t already have a head start

Arena Respawn seems very basic when it comes to strategy though, I mean it’s just a dm fight and as soon as you get an advantage just make sure the other team doesn’t cap the point and force them to push into you. I’d maybe like to give it a go but it would make me very sad if this took off and 6v6 died out.

I think this has some potential. People can’t “main” a class anymore, because your class can get banned.

The only thing matters is that if it’s fun. But people aren’t forced to play a particular class and medic may not even be needed, so a pub player can easily join it.
