Welcome to Microcontest 4: Arena+

For today, your prompt is to make a map for the long-lost Arena mode in under three hours. Any kind of arena mode variation is welcome; as long as one team all dying ends the map, it counts!

Some modes that count as Arena for this Microcontest:
  • Standard Arena
  • 2CP Arena
  • CTF Arena
  • Asymmetrical Arena
  • Arena: Respawn
  • Arena: Sacrifice
  • PLR Arena
  • MTK (Minute to Kill)
  • CrikeyStrike
  • Battle Royale
  • The falling platform minigame from Carnival of Carnage
  • Anything else where if your whole team dies you lose
To enter, reply to this thread claiming a spot. After the deadline, edit your map into your post to finalize your submission.

For full Microcontest rules and submission procedure, check out the Microcontest Megathread!

Quick Info:

Time commitment: 3-4 Hours
Difficulty: 2/5

Date: May 23rd, 2020
Planning starts: 12:00 PM EDT (16:00 UTC)
Clock starts: 1:00 PM EDT (17:00 UTC)
Clock ends: 4:00 PM EDT (20:00 UTC)

Countdown to the deadline here!


NOTES:

Name your .vmf:
<gamemode>_<yourname>_mc4_a1

Our servers do not use the Arena Queue that official Valve servers used, so full teams of 12 players will be playing on your map.

If you need special settings turned on on the server, such as Mannpower or Grappling Hooks, let me know when you submit your entry so we can test the map properly.

If you do use the bumpercarts, also let me know so we can put it at the end of the test to avoid the doubleshot bug.

You do not have to compile within the time limit, but I will only wait one hour past the deadline to collect maps at a maximum. After that your map will no longer be considered a valid entry, unless you contact me ahead of time and we work something out.
