Let me know if you guys think this should be in matchmaking :)

you're going on about how arena is "the one game mode that was abandoned" and i'm sitting here [URL="http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Territorial_Control"]with tears in my eyes[/URL]

Is there a reason why there is no match making for Arena? Surely it's not a hard thing for Valve to add, just like they have for other game modes.

Well if you think of It the only reason Arena is not that usually played is because it's not on the quickplay selection and there's like only a few Official servers for it together with Territorial Control it's not a usually played gamemode,And even if there would be a change new comers(F2Ps) are going to be "Snowplowed(Confused)" by the gamemode.Me personally I like the idea of a gamemode where it's literally you only live once and for me it's a more fun game mode than Highlander,6s,4s and Ultiduo because there is the good tension that if someone f*cked up in your team or in the enemy team the whole team goes down unlike in Highlander,6s etc players still have another chance to redeem themselves upon respawn in this if you die your dead for good.

And for me i want a matchmaking for this just a little more spices and mixes to the original Arena like Arena:Respawn,Mannpower:Arena and stuff like that i'll give it a try

Just say confused. Also, Snowplow was confusing because the main idea of the mode was both completely unique and not properly conveyed, whereas Arena is literally "there's no respawns" and TC is just CP in a big dumb map with an actual map depicting what point is open at the beginning of every sub-round. Not a plausible excuse.

Calm down, Arena isn't the Matrix, people respawn after the round ends for a new round.

So...normal TF2?

That would just be plain unfun for everybody involved.
