<b>Story:</b>
The pressure of the war has driven President Hurg insane. He's ordered the construction of an arena to pit frontiersman against waves of kharaa, honing their skills in an endless series of combat. Only the strongest marine will survive the onslaught. Do you have what it takes to enter the Deadly Arena?

<b>Notes:</b>
This is my first map for NS2, so be gentle. Its pretty bare, but I tried to focus on a layout and gameplay different from much of the existing map selection, so its bright, is symmetrical, and has many pathways into each major room. If it gets any serious play, I'll work on it further, however, its perfectly playable in its current state.

    Looks a bit like team fortress - the oldschool one :)

    It will be interesting to see how the middle bit could play out with double res and double techpoints.

    You should consider texturing and lighting the map more though. It should be a fairly quick process since you'd only have to do 1/4 of the map and then just copy/rotate 3 times :)

    Looks promising Scardybob.

    Keep up the good work. Hope to see it on a server for some play testing soon.

    Layout looks balanced for sure. I bet this will play quite well. Is the geometry going to be kept simple or is that for now while testing layout?

    I'd like to keep it basic to keep a barebone arena-type feel. However, I may add in a bit more detail and/or geometry where needed to fix specific gameplay issues.
