Right now I'm still pretty OK with the 8v8v8 I have set up right now. I just need to make sure people understand that it's technically three teams fighting each other, winner stays in, spectators fight next. It's not like you're "OMG I NEVER GET TO PLAY". One round of observing, and you're in. Two minutes. Use it to strategize. Quit whining.

Also, if everyone was fighting every round, wouldn't the teams basically never change until you hit a forced scramble?

This didn't get enough attention, when did finol and robin play on our servers?
Oh god yes we must do this some time.
There some kind of crazy pill going around here that stops people from seeing this?
when in gods name did this happen and can we do this again
bump'd because ignored.
CAN'T STOP THE SIGNAL, MAL.
I have no clue how they did but I was watching a match between people who work Valve and people who work at Terminal Reality on sourceTV. The match got postponed because of lag. So instead of leaving the server, Valve entered godmode and preceded to kick the crap outta TR. Also, unless they have 2 Robins, that was likely Robin walker.
Also lots of custom maps have road maps in or around the spawn. Look at Science which everyone here is completely in love with and its GIANT WALL MAP. Nobody seems to have a problem with that.
EDIT: And the science map is a lot more detailed. The one in Steel is basically letters in circles with arrows saying, basically saying "you can get to D from A" or that after you cap B you can get to E from A or B. Since the map changes to make things easier for blu, it's helpful to keep an updated path.

Yes, which is stupid.
8v8 is like, perfect.
But there are people out there who hate good things and will try and destroy this.
I'm all for it. 12v12 should work fine, and nobody likes waiting(might get stupid on granary and well though). Just make sure that there's a low win limit to scramble the teams.
It's simple really. I play TF2 because it is an action packed game. Even when i die I am back into the mayhem in a maximum of 20 seconds. Arena mode is the exact opposite of this. One surprise back stab, one headshot, and I'm out for the round. If my team loses I'm out for two rounds.
The gameplay is everything I disliked about Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat and Gears of War, so I will do everything to avoid it.

But fuck I want to play on the new maps.
Wow, I was about to type out this same post but didn't because I myself haven't played Arena mode yet. I haven't played it yet because I knew it would be how you described, Sudden Death all the time with tons of waiting.
This is why I don't play CS, and do play games like TF2 and Battlefield. Waiting for more than 20 seconds is pretty archaic.
Can't one of three servers just have arena maps in a completely retarded fashion? 12 vs. 12 with respawning if possible. It would just be a killfest until the midpoint opened , and then it would just be an intense battle for mid, but I think it could be kind of fun.
So I have a mission for someone should they choose to accept it. I need all the voice effects for the different classes. I remember seeing a ZIP file a few threads ago for this, but they are now old songs with no mention of leetle carts. Why you may ask? Well I'm bored at work and want to make themes for my Blackberry of each class.
You should really play it before damning it though. I hate CS with passion solely because of the time I spend spectating, but I love Arena.
I did play it. I wouldn't make judgments on it unless I did. I won some rounds and I lost some rounds.
Even when winning it didn't feel like an accomplishment. I killed two guys, capped a point and won. Woo.

I should have quoted the post but it was directed at meatflower.
How can I force Steam to download and install games onto a different hard drive? Apparently I don't have enough space for TF2 on C but I know I definitely do on F. Do I have to uninstall Steam and reinstall it on F?
Take the .gcf files (I think they're in the Steam/SteamApps directory), copy them over to your F drive. Uninstall steam on C:, reinstall on F:, re-copy those .gcf files back into the new F:/Steam directory and you should be mostly good to go.

I took half the opposition out yesterday as a lone heavy. I was unto a king. Its moments like that that make me love arena. Also, I like spectating.
i'm still lookin for 3 mo people, preferably two soldiers + one random class, so if anybody is going to PAX that wants to play in the TF2 tournament, hit me up yo

oh what can i do
I understand the hate for arena, but if anyone is interested in honing their skills, learning to see openings, and learning when to retreat, it's probably a damn good way to learn.

Actually on average you spawn quicker in DoD than you do in TF2, unless you're BLU on an attack map.

I've never seen it scale past eight for any more than 16 people on the server.
I was playing 12v12 arena last night.
Including 32-man servers? That'd be silly.
Awesome.

I HATE science.. It's crap

EDIT: Holy shit, science fucking sucked too. Dont kid yourselves nerds. The only good custom is Heights and EVEN THEN it's pushing it.

It's fucking tits if arena isn't for you. It's simple. Don't play it.
Please don't ruin it for those of us who do like it, though.

1. Who would play it?
2. Would any server host it? I don't feel like doing things unless I'm pretty sure it can get on a server. (I'm lazy.)
HEY BROKEN I WOULD PLAY IT!
Maybe like, in between the 90 minutes of dustbowl. 45 minutes of dustbowl HALFTIME ARENA LUMBERYARD! And then back to dustbowl for another 45 minutes.
I think it's the easiest way IMO TBQH FYI
I never finish anyth
