Welcome to the Arena! (Dark Hour)

Welcome to the Arena! or Arena is a Single Player and Multiplayer level in Dark Hour. This level consists of a single room segmented by ramps and platforms. A large number of Enemies attack the player at the start. This level is also a standalone mission, meaning that no Level Exit exists. There are no differences between the Single Player and Deathmatch versions of this map.

This level has near identical geometry to Welcome to the Arena! (Aftershock), though a dividing wall is in front of the hole in the long tunnel at the top of the map closest to the ramp leading to the central platform. Weapon and Ammo placement are nearly identical. Spawn locations are also nearly identical, though this version has an extra spawn location on the bottom floor. Unlike the Aftershock for Quake version of this level, this level has Enemies and is intended for Single Player use as well as Deathmatch. This version does not have the glitch on the bottom floor of the map found in the Aftershock for Quake version.
