    Team Fortress 2 Heavy Update #5 - Arena Mode

    The fifth reading for the Team Fortress 2 Heavy update has been posted today showing the newest game mode, Arena Mode. Read more about it below:

    TF2 Arena keeps the class diversity of Team Fortress 2 while focusing goals around combat between two teams. 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.

    Arena features smaller maps that play out in shorter periods of time. The round ends once one team has no players left in the arena, or when the central capture point has unlocked and been captured. Rounds tend to be very fast and highly competitive, with an emphasis on your team’s class makeup and your plan to counter the opposing team’s class choices. Arena mode is great for smaller matches of three vs. three players, while still comfortably supporting huge knockdown twelve-on-twelve brawls.
    Additionally, Valve announced the release of five new maps: Two new maps, Lumberyard and Ravine, and remakes of three original classics, Well, Granary, and Badlands.

    So it's basically a sort of CSS gametype?

      It's not really close to a CSS game type.

      Can't say I'm a fan of this mode yet as it's written on paper.

                  I swear, every time I do good as a sniper or spy everyone else becomes one too

                    Naw, I just hate being a spy, and doing well, then having like 15 other people go spy and everyone on the other team goes pyro. Plus with the one life per round on Arena, everyone wants to go invisible.

                          Heavy is buggered on this game... he'll get headshot/backstabbed as soon as he leaves the spawn.

                            Lumberyard does look sexy.

                            This fixes the only problem Yahtzee had with Team Fortress 2. :awes

                              I'd try that but, I'm a lousy sniper.
