I've never seen any of those issues with arena, but I never get to play on it very often.

I do love it though.

P.S. Ballerina scout is awesome.

And there's the annoying bug that leaves some players at less than full HP.

I have this on all types.
What it is for me, at least, is when I play with a Class Weapon that lowers health.

Example
I played a Demo with eyelander a round ago. I switch classes. I have -25 max health.

I like arena once in awhile, but I suppose no arena is better than no....anything else.  At least until it gets sorted anyway.

And when flare guns/huntsmen sometimes spawn with half ammo.

That's not a bug. Some weapons spawn with half-ammo if you lost the last round.

To help you lose the next one too? Somehow I doubt valve are stupid enough to implement that as a feature...

They already help you lose by giving more crits to people that do more damage.

Nothing to doubt there.

If you want to test it, go to an arena server, win a round, then lose a round. You will see.

That doesn't prove it's a feature just that you can predict when the bug will occur. And whilst they use positive reinforcement their use of negative punishment is very low, not to mention the fact that arena doesn't need the use of tyebreaking mechanics and instead strives toward balance so it isn't just one team getting the crap beaten out of them until the map changes; thus switching the sat out players onto the losing team and scrambling the teams if one wins too much.

If this stuff is true, I have even less incentive to support arena.

[Soulwynd]

It's well known and thoroughly reported as a bug. If it's a bug, it's a very well hidden one codewise as valve has had several updates since that. That appeared on the first update after the sniper/spy update, if I remember correctly.

The arena was just an example. It happens in every other map too.

[Volatar]

My vote is to take Arena off. In my experience many people (including myself) immediately ditch the server the moment arena pops up.

[Soulwynd]

Pft, I love arena and go to arena-only servers.

If you want to do that to the DFC server, I don't care, I don't go there due to ping reasons.

But if personal opinion where to matter, I'd vote to ditch CTF instead, I switch servers as soon as that pops up.

[PTTG??]

I say cycle the whole list, with as much variety and as many new maps as possible. As long as you know you won't be playing the same annoying map or mode any time soon.

[Jakkarra]

People DO leave upon arena. Especially Lumberyard, as it never allows a full team.
