Does anyone remember

I bet it was fun.

I loved 8-player.

I should host an arena and just leave it up all the time.

Yes! All your shades could fight & FUSS!

I remember the bowl map with pillars in the middle, air combat couple with acrobatics 

We also had a canyon race map with bomber hangars as goal posts

Yes! All your shades could fight & FUSS! 

“Shades” implies one WANTS to be hidden.

Those were indeed the good times...

Those were indeed the good times...

Yeah, I remember our squad keeping an arena up for all of us to practice learning AH's flight modeling and controls and viewing system...etc

Good to see your post, WldThing alot has happened/changed over the past 5+ years

Matchplay has so much potential for exactly this. Too bad there is never anyone there.

I loved h2h. It helped me to stay in the game as I could not afford or fully understand the MA when I started. It was great for me to learn the basics.


I was actually in the over populated arena when it got banned. Was a great time actually.

The real reason why it was populated more often than now:

Rooms were always open. (Biggest key)

Maps were small and easy (smog 8). Boy do I miss all of the custom maps from AH2.

Having a room that is always open goes a long way, but you need at least 2-4 players in them at all times to spark interest for players to join the arena.

Naming of the arena.

TA57 use to have his room say "Tomcatts FFA furball arena", or Tomcatts Team death Match". Stuff like that.
