Alright, I put this map together in a couple of days after reading a request for it in another map review.

This is an attempt to recreate the ancient roman/greek coliseum's. The true fighting area is a circular arena. On the outside, done more so for eyecandy, there are stadium seats as well as columns in the background.

The map starts, you have a 15 second grace period. After the 15 seconds are up the gates open up and you have 15 seconds to leave. Once the gates close you cannot reach the inventory again. I am working on a kill all script for the spawn area(consider it a "getting fed to lions"), yet is buggy at the time being and is not enabled.

Consider this map a Beta. I have spent some time on this map yet there are still some discrepencies. Some seats don't meet exactly, nor do all railings meet exactly as well. Yet these do not affect gameplay at all,(and I'm trying to get some feedback on the gameplay), they are merely an aesthetic inconvience. When I get the time I will upload the final map with all the features.

Any comments/suggestions can be mailed to: daceo@home.com

You need to leave the doors open until you can get the script right. The doors ruined a perfectly good map, cause they wouldn't open.

Sweet map, it'd be cool to get this on the arena servers.

I have revised the map in the following way and will be updated hopefully soon (whenever they replace the file, probally sometime tommorrow): -Fixed message being printed on all maps -Fixed Force Fields on one side(no sneaking out) -Adding two more rocks to help with balance, as well as decreased amount of Health kits -Fixed Client spawning being traped(fields not droping) -Implemented Anti-Camping code,AFK code(that'll teach em =P) I still need to work on the texture's lining up perfectly, but this should make this playable/balanced on pubs now.

Very nice map. Considering its serverside I think you did a very impressive job on the colosseum. I think theres a FF missing on the team1's side inless it was intentional that team1 can get out of that bunk but team2 can't. Not sure why but the FFs wouldn't go down after 15 secs either. Maybe its because you have to be playing with more then 1 player I'm not sure.

theres an ff missing near the ceiling on one side. You can get out. Also the gates dint open do I need a 2nd player for them to work?

Understood, this map is still in the beta. Unfortunately my computer is having some internet problems and constantly drops clients(NAT routed) so I don't have the ability to do a large "inhouse" beta test. I was trying to get some feedback on the size, playability, and overall balance of the map. There are a few bugs in the scripting code which I am almost done tweaking. I plan to upload the final scripted map sometime within the next few days.

hehe, looks darn cool... i can see that it will probably end up looking like an European football game ("MASSIVE FIGHTING/BRAWLING BREAKS OUT IN FOOTBALL STANDS DURING GAME!")

Hey Overwear its me GnomesWear... Anyways your map's so wubbabale. Only one thing thats a very bad fault, It takes normaly 5 minutes to light this mission and can sometimes be a pain for joining people. Good job though, if theres anyway you could maybe fix this, then this map would be also good for the Tribes2 econmy. Very nice artistic ability.. You did a great job planing and keeping it real and using your imagination all at the same time... Even with the long time it takes to load, Im still going to give you a SUPER A .... GREAT JOB OVERWEAR!!

WOW! this is the best gladiator areana type map Ive seen yet. Its obvious to the map how it shows much effort from the fact that you scaled wall or put wall pieces together and make a KICK ACE looking collosium and still make it server side. Great job for its nice lookin collosium it deservs an A
