Team Fortress Arena
The middle capture point fighting area for Waste (PL) has been extensively reworked and customized for TF2 Arena play. Teams are given multiple entrances to the central area, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.


Objective:
Your team must either eliminate all players on the opposing team or capture the control point that will be activated during the round.

Other Notes:
There is no respawning in Arena mode.

thx

Waste is one of the best looking maps I've seen almost ever. I gotta say well done.

 

[Icarus]

Thanks for the gameday extension.

Bump for feedback. Test 8 was a release candidate.

Fun arena map for just about any class, the only problem being survivability- all matches seemed to end extremely quickly. I think you either need to move up the deep water the corner turns of the sewer area, or add in some small healthpacks somewhere. Getting lit on fire by a pyro often meant death if you didn't have a medic on your team. Other than it's a great map, especially for scout :thumbup1:

 

[Icarus]

For an arena map, I thought the round lengths were just right. matches ended shortly after the central control point was enabled. Anyone else's thoughts on survivability?

Gameday was a bit sparse in population when Waste rotated in. IIRC the most we had was 6v6

Seems like everyone complains if there isn't health, water or both.

Water is good for fire but nothing else.

Health is good for everyone.

Still, being on fire trying to survive doesn't garantee either will help.

I think at least one small health in every arena map is a good thing, at least everytime I test someone says I need it (except for you Ic )

I've been talked into adding some in Hoover. Most likely in the lower section instead of ammo, but I have mixed feelings, I wanted that ammo for spies... Don't want health too close to point, not sure how it'll end up.

 

[Icarus]

/me hates health on arenas that take no risk to use

If I ever place health on an arena map, it should be in an extremely high-risk area like in Lumberyard or Watchtower. I have none of these areas in my map, especially since it implements rotational symmetry instead of reflectional symmetry.

I am proud to announce the completion of Waste (Arena)!

any changes in final version?

 

[Icarus]

a few... I thought if would be more fun to leave players to find out themselves for the final

 

[Zanpa]

You don't want to use "arena_waste" in case it became official ?

 

[Icarus]

_final doesn't show up on loading screens, so why not?

We love the CP and PL versions on our server and I'm sure we'll like this one too.
