1-3 Suggested Players Called The Arena, it's based in the two square areas that you have to get to via teleporter. You spawn and respawn up there, each team on the opposite side of one another separated by barriers and both boxes are connected to eachother by teleporters that link half of each box to form sides. Weapons and Equipment: The Spartan Laser is the weapon of choice, the barrier provide adequate cover and enough space to shoot over. Regenerators spawn, but not too often, each side also has a Gravity Hammer to use if the opposing players wander close to the barriers, or simply to displace the other team. Deployable Covers are also on, they provide an interesting element to the game, you can use them to push the barriers aside, although that takes skill to do. Flares provide the real defense, though they only spawn every 45 seconds. Grenades are also available, but only 3 per side (2 spike, 1 frag) and they don't spawn as often. I've tinkered with the idea of a grav lift spawning under the barriers after three minutes, I'm not really sure. My real problem is the spawn placement. It works for the first round, but if there's another round after, the players keep spawning below on the normal part of the map, even though there are 16 spawning points up top and none on the bottom.
Hmm... I always thought it started at Slayer defaultly. Learn something every day (hell if you go back and play the first Halo, I swear Grunts say new stuff!).
