This week’s patch introduces a new game mode called Arena. There were requests in Discord chat for a easier way to play 1v1 and other small number games. This inspired me to dust off the cobwebs from a old game mode from early Alpha testing (Pre-Steam) days.
Arena is a round based gamemode where each player gets one death per round. First team to win 7 rounds wins the map. Rounds are 3 minutes long with 10 second delay between rounds.
Join us for a playtest tonight at 9 PM EST and please let us know how you like it!
