(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); MW2's "Arena" Gamemode was never released, was it because the coders never had time, or was it because they knew it was a complete copy of a Gamemode from Valve's "Team Fortress 2"?

Modern Warfare 2's Arena: 2 teams, 1 life, 1 flag. To win you either need to capture the flag or eliminate the opponents

Team Fortress 2's Arena: 2 teams, 1 life, 1 Control Point. To win you either need to capture the Control Point or eliminate the opponents.

Some might say it's a coincidence, but they copied everything right down to the name of the Gamemode. Pretty big coincidence?

TDM, FFA, an SnD variant, and many other game types are exactly the same in multiple games.

I'd say it would be completely different because of the weapons in each game, and the maps.

A game mode is a game mode. It's not copyrighted so it's fair game

Modern Warfare 2's CTF: 2 teams, 2 flags. To win you need to capture the flag the enemy flag. Your flag has to be at base to capture enemy flag.

Unreal Tournament's CTF: 2 teams, 2 flags. To win you need to capture flag the enemy flag.Your flag has to be at base to capture enemy flag.

See what I did there? Boohoo, a company used a successful idea and tried to improve on it, it's how we progress. Get over it.
