(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?

Lol you can't copy a gametype it doesn't work that way, if you could imagine how little gametypes COD would have lol.

To be fair they had no choice to delay the release; their publisher Activision would never allow such a thing.

It's true, half of gaming is made up of re-makes of other peoples' ideas. It's just about who takes those ideas and delivers them best.

Anyway it's best this mode never comes out for MW2; I was infected with it a while ago and it plain SUCKS.

how did you figure out that there was an "Arena" game mode?

iw should of copied socom 3 and added a gamemode called control points

if you never played socom 3 it was basically set up like this

there were 5-6 "control points" basically just a flag to capture but you lit a flare.

the first team to light all the flares wins, so basically its a race while killing people, no respawn.
