<CLG> Clan Disband into Memories

[b00msh0t]

Arena should be in the league and it's popular. Only 1 life that makes the game play much more interesting on how the team works together.

There was a BnS arena tournament. Here: http://www.buildandshoot.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=9756

Well, it wasn't really implemented. I mean it could be much longer so the ctf league season can take a break.

Arena takes a lot of skills as TDM does too. The thing is, B00M is right about the 1 life, there is no respawn unless you either win the round, or lose it. Having to use 100hp wisely or else the wrong move can get you killed. I've played with Komrade, Ohh, FF, Nkz, and other clans and they know it's challenging since you can't do everything on your own. Especially when you're up against good players and even so up against bad or decent players when having more than 1 gun aimed at you, be prepared to die. People tell me they dislike Arena, yes many do. The thing is, every gun is able to use in Arena maps. But the rifle is what people like to use in TDM and other game modes besides Arena. Rifle have their advantage if the players use the rifle right and know what to do, even so in Arena. Skilled riflemen who understands such as Niaska and GamingFTW. 2 of the best riflemen I've played with and they put up a good fight. Especially GamingFTW who many people accuse him of hacks when he gets so many rifle headshot kills. It's insane and trying to do that is very hard. Topo should know it as well since I've seen Topo get headshots all the time and Topo is a skilled rifleman that we all know. Arena is a different story. A lot of thinking you need to do to actually survive at the end and a lot of accurate aiming you need and calculating, basically taking Arena to a whole knew level. You can't just say lets go right side and not knowing 10 or more enemies are coming that right side and you only have 4 or 5 going right. You will die and the enemies will make it to your spawn, take it and start flanking and now the remaining teammates have to fight both sides. Have to count how many goes where, which side is easy or harder to take, how many of your teammates will survive, and have to predict a lot of things. If it doesn't work, learn from your mistakes like I've always done in Arena. That is why when I play Arena, people would listen on what I say because I know what I am talking about. More than half the team would listen and trying to get the whole team to cooperate is hard until you get their trust by us about to lose the match and they start listening and then ended up winning the match. I've led the whole team to victory countless times. You don't have to cooperate and just do what you want but if you do take charge and people trust you, just remember your teammates life is on your hands and because of what you say, what you do, and not do will determine the outcome of the round and match.

Yes, I know it's a game but FPS games can teach you a lot. That's a lot to read huh.^

Edit: Arena League sounds good! I want to see how many people are good in it lol.

I would actually love to play a League Arena, don't think i would be good because their are a lot of people who are better than me at Arena but it would be really fun to actually have an league arena.

ProBoy, your name says it all. No worries, you're a good player.

Interesting read, LinStar. I enjoy the aspects of Arena you went over, I just feel that arena maps are generally too small and closed.

That is why every gun is able to use in Arena maps. TDM, CTF, and so on maps are meant for mainly rifle. You can SMG, but you're facing a rifle with distance. You don't see too often, well rarely a person run in with an SMG in PinPoint and getting all headshots most of the time. For shotguns, don't use it since it won't do the trick in TDM and so on. In Arena, people use shotguns and they are considered the deadliest and hated compared to other guns. SMG may be used as well and rifle have their distance if they please to do so. It's basically even in Arena, depending who using the gun.

That's why I enjoy CS maps. They're very balanced, and all weapons work well.

I think the same, in Arena you learn to use all guns and more strategies, since it's just 1 life per round, mean while on PP or other maps you keep respawning.

Arena is a pretty good game mode and adds variety to aos. But generally aos isn't exactly about close quarters shooting and cod esque gameplay. So the thought of arena being officially integrated as a league game mode is very unlikely as majority would be against it as shown in discussions and your formentioned skills required are possible to have. Most players don't think twice in arena about running around and shooting an smg at enemies. Same as in CoD the only skill available is trickshotting. Arena is generally different than aos as it is more tightly based combat, small maps, and CoD esque elements which work fine in some places. Clan matches IMO shouldn't be happening in arena matches and work better in Tdm and ctf as they have worked for a while now. I recommend talking about this with dan and the league organizers if you want official implementation.

Actually, people do play Arena matches. I watch streams of MLG playing Arena. As in COD I've seen and Titan Fall when time is up and enemies have to reach the other side while the other team try and stop them. Clan matches can be in Arena, it's not just TDM and CTF. And why not Arena? Just want to go TDM and CTF to shoot your rifle pew pew with the distance and die and respawn a few seconds later? Not saying TDM or CTF doesn't take skills. Saying Arena will be hard for rifle people when they are basically even with SMG. SMG miss, they die and if Rifle miss, they die. Same with Shotty and people will agree with this because we've play Arena many times and experience this a lot. No matter how good you are in Arena, you will die. Lol should try it and play against us in Arena. CLG will put up a good fight.

good luck finding a game then. AoS isn't like other games, the gameplay is more for CTF or TDM, arena just doesn't require the amount of teamwork like other modes so which makes it boring.

Unfortunately there is a lack of teamwork in arena modes, but I don't blame that on the game mode. The winning team is generally one of these three:

- The team that has map advantage
- The team that has LinStar
- The team that works together

If I were to call for strategy on a public arena server, my team would ignore my advice and rush in blindly. This has become an acceptable playstyle, and if you don't play this way you'll be criticised as a 'camper'. If, however, clans were to play versus each other I think it could open up doors for a more strategic and balanced game.

Lin I don't think mlg plays on ace of spades. Also aos wasn't designed for cod gameplay so it might work in titanfall and cod but not on here. Again try convincing dan and the real but hugely unlikely. Another thing is most players don't play arena that co ordinated. Usually you have better chances surviving with a smg or shotgun than a rifle in arena due to close quarters and need of fast trigger fingers and anyone would die in any game mode. We are simply not interested in arena tourneys and you can get a better version of this arena tourney style in other games that are also free.

can always do your own

Speak for yourself, Jon. Arena can be a fun game-mode if you want to kill time and if you plan it correctly because imo the last arena tournament was a huge success. But, I can't say I disagree with you Jon because you make a fair point that this game just wasn't made to be so fast paced. If you want that you can go play Jagex version but even then, i wouldn't call it a game worth playing.
