Hey,
Trying to think of some maps that would be good for clan arena play.
CA play varies from 2v2 to 5v5, and I'd say the most important things needed in a good CA map:
- a few open rooms which vary in style
- ideally 3 entrances / exits to each of these rooms
- speed running possible
You can see why DM3 is the perfect map for CA... but there must be some other goodies!
The other night we tried a few 4v4...
E1M2 was ok but 100h was a dead-end campfest.
E4M3 was too repetitive and big, especially in close rounds which went to 1v1.
E3M7 see above, but with less repetition and more too-big ness.
E3M1 was okay but too many corridor fights.
end was fun
I don't really know the CTL maps well enough to wonder if they have a few open rooms which each have 3 entrances etc without loading them up. Any suggestions?

Definitely going to try all the CMT maps when we get the chance (morituri.co.uk:27500 is getting some maps and updates in the next couple days), will ask fer to put schloss on there too... any more? I guess all single player EXMX maps are unlikely to fit the bill.

The Pro-X maps (proxmap1-5) have arenas for CA and 1on1. I think it would be worth giving these a shot as they were possibly at least partly designed for it!
Some of them might be ports of RA3 maps for all I know.
pro-x @ mattlantis.net:27600 as I'm sure you know
