it's not just levels for team PVP, though. i plan on adding more unique scenarios to shake it up.

we also have a switch to clean up any entities dropped while changing levels

arena 12: The Trenches

it's a Wizard War, and you've been drafted.
cower in your tunnels, run for your life. if the cannons don't get you, the barbed wire might.

it felt almost wrong not to make a level based on trench warfare, and i had fun with it.

arena 11: Shipment.mw2

a port of a fan favorite from Modern Warfare 2, with modifications to make it work in our little Class-PVP system, and to make it fit the rectangle.

Skelbton murdered me here.

arena 10: Cognitium Reactor

this would've been better in an arena twice as wide

it's another one fueled by memories of UT99, and i can't remember the name of the level that inspired it.
my first successful use of accelerators that don't risk fall damage is in this map

arena 9: the Old Town

i think i channelled some frustration into this one.
i've wanted to build a village with seamless rooftop parkour for a while and haven't been able to do it before.

with some skill, someone can get from one corner of the map to the other without ever touching the ground

arena 8: Twin Siege

i may change the name, idk.

henry tells me that this plays like a map from Half-Life: Deathmatch, and that's exacly what i was going for.

Ramiel helped me by mirroring as i built, saved a lot of work, it seemed asymmetrical to them until we finished, and it hurt them to do it🥲

arena 7: TeuFort.tf2

another replica.
i had initially made a red base on the wrong side before it was accidentally deleted. at that point, i had to make dinner for my spouse and the project was taken up by
@skelbton.bsky.social ,
@henrythecool.bsky.social ,
and Ramiel, who i still cannot find

arena 6: Facing_Worlds.ut

i totally copied this from Unreal Tournament.

a problem i ran into while making this was that all our teleporters in the modpack don't save properly with structure blocks. so, i had to improvise with more accelerators

arena 5: Frozen Fortress

there is no staying still here. between the ice and the accelerators on the floor, you're gonna slide around.
the ice used in the tower and the snow bricks come from @the-ice-lord.bsky.social 's Gelaria. a great dimension mod for those who crave the cold.

arena 4: Bones in the Ocean
i did NOT make this one!
this was the first arena made by someone other than me, they wanted an ocean/costal map and they went for it!

i don't know if the others are on blusky, i'm looking for them, but @wildmagicwhimsy.bsky.social was one of them!

arena 3:
i don't have a name, it's listed as "volcanic platformer" until i do.
in games like Quake and UT, i remember playing in levels that forced the player to use launch pads to get around. i wanted to try that out here. I used the accelerators from Cognitium to make it happen, albeit poorly.

arena 2: Desert Temple
inspired by memories of Unreal Tournament GOTY with my dad and our neighbors, makes use of vertical space with towers, arches, and tunnels

arena 1: forest clearing (the name could use some work but eh)
my first addition to the project. built before i learned the proper commands to get the structures to spawn.
features pungee pits, simple fortifications, and a bridge.
i was thinking of Chivalry 2 as i made it.

but the thing that really makes this build special is this: it changes. We've built twelve arenas into it using aa structure block, to be changed at the flip of a switch. a few were built without me, anything that doesn't have a "credits" sign is my build.

the forts beyond the track are equipped with lootr chests, set to refresh at the push of a button, filled with unique kits that i(and a few others) spent hours to balance against each other

the Arena: my best build and my current obsession.

at first, it isn't anything to rave over. a plain field of sand, devoid of any features within its walls.
a black ice track for racing boats encircles it, but it hardly sees any use.
