    A Romanesque gladiatorial arena complete with a delayed-spawn warthog, a spectators box for Caeser, awnings to keep your pretty face from burning in the sun, and several hidden goodies to give you an upper hand in combat. Hot dogs are $5. Have fun and enjoy!

    I have also created a game type for this map if you are interested. Best with 4 teams of 2. Try different starting and secondary weapons for even more fun and varied game play!


    Special thanks to 'SCARFACE 0890' for reminding me that Caeser needs a box. And to 'GTA Ruler1' for providing such an easy target in testing the gametype.

    Very appropriate name for this map I think. Looks pretty cool, it looks really nice right where it's sitting too. You get my download.

    Well Its quite well done I'll give you that, definitely one of the better ones I've seen, but it isent that hard to make, or historically correct, but still nice job. I'll give it a 4/5 and try it out.

    Okay here doom, I'll give you a quick run down:

    1. Idk if you thought it would be better for game types and stuff, and just playing it, but the actual arena shouldn't have anything in it except if your modeling this after the roman Colosseum, or even the arena from oblivion in which case there should be 4 evenly spaced columns.
    2. The torch idea is great, but i would recommend geomerging them with the inside, so they hang or at least stand in the stands because in the arena, the combat circle, whatever you want to call it, there was always a ring of torches that went around the wall of the arena, while there were large columns with torches attached to all 4 sides that stood in the stands.
    3. It should be symmetrical all the way around with the 2 entry gates into the area facing each other across the Coliseum, usually people would sit behind the gates of their favorites unless they were neutral or new to the coliseum in which case they sat in the middle.
    4. There should be an armory for each side, each contestant, because usually they had to select their Armour and weapons from a long line of things, it made things interesting because you never knew what your opponent would use.

    I will say though that the tunnels, both into the stands and the arena are quite well done, good job.

    Anyway that's really all, i know you had an item and money limit so for the resources you had its very well done. So its still quite a good map, i just think if your putting it in the Aesthetic map section you should have concentrated fully on it being as realistic as possible, if its meant for slayer then it should go into either competitive or casual list.

    Anyway again, its quite well done.

    I agree with Blood, there should be an armory. But other than that, I waited for someone to make a coliseum map, and this is by far that best one I have seen. I don't like the idea of the warthog though, too closed quarters.

    4/5

    Hello. This map is a good Arena. It looks fun to play on. But a few things you should add in a V2: A armory- Theres no weapons except for the spawning ones.
    Maybe a spawn point in Ceaser's box- Like VIP spawn so he/she could watch the fight. But well it is in the acetic section so you dont have to do that. But one question do you have this in the wrong section? This isn't a switch. You should think about removing that tag.

    wow this looks great. I like how you got the rune things showing looks exactly like an colliseum.

    and guys aesthetic maps dont require weapons these maps are for looks only.
    jeeez.

    5/5 looks amazing

    PS-the grav lifts are a nice touch!!

    I think that this is pretty pimptacular! I mean, it looks great. I honestly wouldn't play any matches on it. But it looks really cool

    Dude, you could change this into a bull-fight arena, and it would be amazing.
