Author's Readme/Notes:

I didn't know ctf_rugby existed while i was making this map. Sorry, the mapper "YAM" of rugby did a much better job on his map then I did. My map is not Great or good for that matter unless you use LOW GRAVITY. It kept our server full for hours once we made it a low gravity map with 2 second respawn times.


Yam, your map owns mine: guys check his map out at

Pros: Looks like a stadium, and uses the locker room concept to it's advantage. Seems simple enough to build upon and improve.

Cons: Sadly, this map seems a bit lazy to me when compared to the effort most other mappers put into their releases. All it encourages are "suicide missions" when it could easily have been one of the coolest environments we've ever seen for a CP map (see 'Improvements'). It's too vanilla, and offers very little in terms of fulfilling gameplay and team dynamics.

Improvements: Ever think of going outside the stadium? Into the maintenance corridors? On top, by the lighting control room? Up in the box seats? I think you should. All these places are well-suited for control points, too - hell, even a CTF variation!

Notes: I wish the author luck with his new map, VC_Alpha, which seems to be a bit more planned out and less chaotic. Arenaball could have *clearly* been a unique and exciting control point map had the work been put into it as it has on many of the other customs I've reviewed. Instead, it's a spamtastic deathmatch - and just for that fact alone... some bananas may love it. However, any map that simply allows munitions to fly around with no regard to strategy or balance defeats the purpose of making a TF2 map in the first place.

Hey,
my friend wanted to put up a 24/7 for this map
but it doesn't have stale mate/sudden death
and when i down loaded ur map the vmf file came with so i tryed to do it myself and i couldnt figure it out,
and i couldnt seem to find a anti stalemate prefab so im guessing you did it from scratch,...
could you remake a cp_arenaball_SD
for us?

Geforce 7600gs, 1gig ddr1 2700, P4 HT 3.0 are my specs, Its a little rough for me when theres 16 plus players and low gravity. Guess it depends on your machine and the event thats going on during the map. Lol theres not enough detail in the map to map it low fps at least from what I thought. Thanks for the response Bearz.
