Yeah, I was a big fan of Team Arena as well. Unfortunately, it was just one of those things that never caught on. I'll never forget the first time playing MPTERRA2 ... You can still see a few specialized SCTA servers around, but regrettably they tend to be a specialized form of Team Arena. They're fun in the same way that Excessive mod was fun, but you can't take it too seriously. Team Arena was a little less frenetic than Quake III due to the teamplay and the team powerups, which moved things a little more towards strategy than tactics, I agree -- but that's one of the things I liked about it. -- Erik Max Francis && max@alcyone.com && http://www.alcyone.com/max/ San Jose, CA, USA && 37 20 N 121 53 W && AIM erikmaxfrancis I can't remember to forget you. -- Leonard Shelby
