I don't get it.

Arena is popular because it is fun,just as AoS is fun...

I'm getting sick of retards replying with just this.

There's nothing fun about rushing into a big plaza area and dying from an SMG spammer in 10 seconds, ESPECIALLY in a game like Ace of Spades, where building is an essential element. It's like playing fucking Hunger Games in Minecraft where you can't craft at all.

It really is sad though, that arena and gimmick maps get the most attention. I watched a .21 video, and I teared up a bit... what ever happened to that teamwork, and actually being able to build something? What happened to there actually being a frontline of action? What happened to crazy maneuvers winning games? What happened to all of that? No matter how hard anyone tries, unless you round up 32 people yourself, the teamwork and building will be gone, even on classicgen, because honestly, all people do on there is run around and SMG spam.

It's sad, really. When I first joined, the first map I ever played was on Assault2 (I think it was Assault2, at least) on CTF, with two of my friends. It took us a bit of digging and flanking, but I eventually got behind the enemy team (which half of them were using the rifle, not the SMG) and hardscoped all of them down from behind.

Nowadays, the most strategy I ever get from a game of babel/CTF is doing this, but HOPING an aimbot with an SMG doesn't come up in my face and SMG spam me to death.

Fun is subjective. If he finds it fun, you have no right telling him otherwise.

People like the simpler version easier. Personally, I don't enjoy it, it removes a lot out that sets AoS apart from every other FPS game out there. In all actuality, the arena gamemode isn't really bad, it's based off of some of the more popular FPS games. It's just not unique.

Also if you're not being facetious and actually cried over footage of a video game, you need some help.

I'm waiting to hear what REALLY makes this crap "fun" in a game like AOS.

so you like battlefield but not the arena on aos?
hurr bigger maps n shit
still the same thing. rushing into a big plaza area and dying
except you're the smg spammer. and you're getting killed by recon pussies.

[USABxBOOYO]

I don't understand why Arena exists either and I sort of wish it never did. All it does is remove the features that make AoS unique (building and destroying in a sandbox battlefield).

Personally I don't find it fun, but obviously a lot of people do, and neither you or I or anyone for that matter have any right telling them they're wrong for enjoying it.

[Heracles4]

Arena is a good gamemode, and it does involve strategy, it is just that there are a huge amount of lazy/bad players that crowd the server and do things like spam SMG at everything in sight or spade the walls..

Probably because Battlefield doesn't have building as an essential element, and therefore arena modes don't render the game broken...
Plus the shooting part is nearly impossible in AOS if you're not using an SMG nowadays. I can headshoot someone with a rifle and I still die in a fento-second.
and implying snipers or huge maps don't exist in AOS

And about Recon pussies...I see their scope glint/bullet tracers and they're fucked

oh and have you tried playing anything other than engineer? which is basically like the SMG of aos. extremely annoying, and everyone uses it

Believe it or not, I've started playing the other classes recently. I only switch back to Engineer when some faggot decides to roll over us with a tank/heli.

[CommieBuffalo]

I don't know how this deviated to a Battlefield discussion, but:
Support master race.
PKP master weapon.

ok fair enough

[ReubenMcHawk]

Not sure what your definition of "broken" is, the arena gamemode functions perfectly fine.
