...Will the modern-day shooter fanboys and COD kids kindly fuck off?
Why? BECAUSE THE ARENA SHOOTER FANDOM IS ONE OF THE MOST FUCKING ANNOYING FANDOMS IN THE HISTORY OF GAMING. IN THE NAME OF GOD, ABRAHAM, MOHAMMED OR WHATEVER FUCKING DEITY YOU WORSHIP, STOP AND GO BACK WHERE ARENA IS SUPPOSED TO BE AND REALIZE THAT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO PLAY SOMETHING NON-MAINSTREAM.

Then shut up and play a different game, for Christ's sake.
AoS' main problem right now is the fact that it literally is trying to please everyone simultaneously. That's bad. It should be made more like the trench warfare styled game it originally was, and let people who don't like that leave and go play a different game. That way, it attracts the specific fan base of likeminded people and can be advertised as that.
That's why trying to imitate the more mainstream titles is a terrible idea, because why play this when you can play the mainstream titles? It's best to make this game as unique as possible from that allow this to become known as such. With that logic in mind, the best thing that can happen is to make this game a slow paced, tactical shooter like the good ol' days of the rifle-only.
MY FUCKING POINT EXACTLY.
I do not know WHY these CODders feel the need to overrun a game that MIGHT actually be decent when Arena burns in fucking hell!
Fuck COD very much and have a nice day.

Then don't play it? Nobody's forcing anyone to play Arena or CTF or any gamemode, the choice is yours.

And nobody's forcing the kids to overrun AOS with Arena.

Calm down... you can't make people play what you want them to play. If they want to play arena, let them play arena. If you don't want to play arena, don't play arena, it's that easy.

It's the idiots like you and Reuben who can't pick up what I'm throwing down.
50-60% of the servers on AOS now are Arena, which is a bad sign for a game that's based around using the environment to your advantage.
Half the kids who play Arena most likely have never played any other shooter mode in their life, and therefore want to infest their shitty ways in a game that was never intended to run this way.
If they want to whore Arena 24/7, they can fuck off to MW3 or AssaultCube Reloaded (or ANY OTHER FUCKING GAME THAT WAS INTENDED FOR ARENA PURPOSES). The true AOS community wants the game to not become Arena/TDM shooter #27597058.
If you're just going to respond to me with LET THEM PLAY MAN, then kindly fuck off.

"You're an idiot, Reuben." Darkstar said, before going on to demand that all of the players of the popular gamemode he doesn't like leave the game entirely and find another game that they may not be able to run.
I'm pretty sure Ace of Spades beta was based on The Vietnam era. I remember seeing a newsletter talking about how the name came from the fact that US soldiers would leave the ace of spades on dead enemy soldiers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_of_spades
Also, I think Ace of Spades shouldn't be a modern day shooter because most modern military shooters, in my opinion end up being a game about who has the highest rate of fire assault rifle.

...another game that was actually built for this awful gamemode.
You're ignoring my point entirely. The fact is, there is absolutely no point in adding Arena to a game that revolves around environmental combat. It ruins the purpose

Wow you think.
The system requirements for AssaultCube Reloaded are even less than those of AOS.

Dude I hate arena more than you do but it's pretty useless. The game as a whole is dying so I don't see the reason why to rage against arena. Yes you are right the arena destroys the whole purpose of the way the game is. But do rememeber you can't expect a game to stay like that forever. Most games will just end up different over time.

'Arena Shooters' is a genre of games like Unreal and Quake, fyi.
