Review:
You're either going to like this one, or hate it. Ice Arena has two teams in a fairly large.....box. Each team has inventory stations, and a generator inside a building guarded by forcefields. The flag is located in a tower attached close to the cieling. Slightly above the side walls, are ramps that lead to a capturable objective which enables your team to shoot down upon the unsuspecting enemy.

Capping here is either going to be easy, or near impossible varying upon the team's ability. There is no skiing here, just straight running in what seems to take forever. The size of the box makes it seem everything is very far, and that you are moving fairly slow. Each base has an opening on the side, which is an excellent sniper spot, and a great area for launching mortars. The fact its a box, makes it so you can only deploy spider clamp turrets. Oddly enough, there is a fog in this giant box/arena. The fog makes it so you can not see from base to base, disabling the ability to have a wall of snipers wiping out the enemy from base to base. Launching a rain of mortars from the top objective upon the enemy base can be fun, though it can be difficult to get a heavy up there. As i said before, you're either going to love it, or hate it, this was just not my kind of map.
