I'll be playing Arena April. Now all they have to do is fix or remove all the bad maps.

One step at a time.

I hope so. If this doesn't get any players attracted then Arena will be pushed aside forever.

Wtf?! No Invasion update? On topic: It took them long enough. Now all they have to do is remove Sword Base.

Uncaged will now need to be removed since full setups are unbreakable at high Onyx level once a team controls rockets/sniper in and around the Cage itself whilst the other team is stuck at tower/snipe spawn.

With jetpack's removal you're going to see a lot of negative gameplay changes unless a major map overhaul is also made. Blue team is now unable to contest rockets on Reflection or shotgun/GL on Sword Base, making these even more of a "free win" than before.

Your opinion is invalid.

This.

Too bad this fix came like three seasons later than i could have.

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

About time. I don't even play Arena, but I'll try a few games just to boost the numbers a little. Jetpack could stand to be removed from quite a few playlists. I'm glad Arena's getting some love. Hopefully that pans out, and Arena might actually become interesting for me. (I find spawn screens boring)

I misread. I thought it said removed from Reach in general. Oh well.

Yeah, the difference between symmetrical and asymmetrical is going to be a factor again. To be fair though, it's not hard to make the argument that Uncaged is terrible with and without jetpack. And even with jetpack, isn't Sword Base essentially broken and unplayable unless your opponents are retarded?
(I don't mind those maps, but I also don't play skilled players on them lol)

The map shouldn't be there in the first place, but without jetpack a full-setup becomes impossible to break. I think Cosssta mentioned in one of his videos that he'd see games with an end score of 6-1 simply because a team trapped at tower/snipe without power weapons has no way of contesting map control.

9 months later.... also... "we will be watching arena's population to determine if this is a permanent change".



If 343's MM team has any clue wtf they're doing, this will be permanent.

  • 03.28.2012 7:28 PM PDT

It took 9 months cause they get their ideas from newborns and they had to wait for the new batch of newborn babies to come out before they could get new ideas.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

So now they finally decide to do something to Arena.

I'll probably play Arena a little more, but the other changes sound good too.

I'm calling out 343 putting back jetpack with some bs "population was not affected" crap.

Or they'll have an Arena WITH jet pack and an Arena WITHOUT jet pack.
