Is the button there?
@Gysbert wrote a really interesting account on the Arena “back then”. Never read it before. I would have loved to see that myself.
As far as I remember I’d say that there were some changes around landfall update. I’m just not sure if it was Landfall itself or the update before… Those days there were some changes at the arena… Pillboxes came and vanished again…
I revised the arena account, corrected mistakes, updated it with “Showdown stuff”, and added some new pictures. I took the liberty to add pictures from other members to whom I of course gave credit. I hope they do not mind.
I just need to add (for comparison) a recent (2025) arena top view picture to finish the arena story.
I am lucky enough to still have my original disk for my old ps4 from 2019, and surprisingly it works in my ps5 too! I spent a couple hours messing around in the original version, not gonna lie it was super fun and very nostalgic. Since the view distance was still far in the original, I might try to see just how far away you can snipe machines from. Sniping was honestly one of my favorite parts of the game when I first got it. I do wish there was a way to play this original version on pc
