Review:
Initial thoughts on this new mission (Ice Arena) was 'Oh my God, What is this thing?' In looking around I was very suprised at how well it was done, the floor looked to me as though I didn't want to step on it ... as though it weren't there. Once I jumped on the greyness and stood there, everything changed. I got my gear and headed on out of my base.
Once outside, the room was gigantic. It reminded me of some old Tribes One missions. I wasn't sure what to think, but Deathmatch came to mind. Then I saw the flags and thought 'This is too cool'. CTF in a HUGE room. Huge to the point that you nearly need vehicles to get across it.
About the midway point there is a skywalk, I found this to be both a great place to snipe from as well as be sniped while you're there. I managed to get a heavy up there with an inventory station ... that helped.
I think that after about 5 minutes in this mission you could be hooked. This is a 'mission of skills' map. It is not impossible to get the flags. It is not impossible to make your way back home. It does however require teamwork. Getting the flag isn't so tough, getting away with it is. If you have even the minimal ammount of teamwork this is the mission to be on.
I find this to be a great map for public servers considering there is no need for players to download and install the map. I hope that others take the functionality of this mission and employ its traits within their own newly created levels.
This one is an instant classic.
