This arena, created by Dan "Scancode" Gold originally for Quake III Arena, is a classic CTF arena suitable for 4 on 4 play. Bases have entrances on two levels. Once inside, attackers have no less than six paths to take. Taking the low middle route can result in a Regeneration and a Mega Health pickup, but this puts you in a tactically disadvantageous spot against the flag defense, and being unable to take the same path out without damage means you will have to rethink your escape plans. Spider Crossings makes a great addition to the QUAKE LIVE CTF list of arenas, and as mentioned will be free for all for the first week.

Electric Head is a small arena created by Adam Bellefeuil, centered around a high area and a low area. Controlling your enemy's movement is the key to victory; knocking them into the middle, or forcing them to move to the low side of the arena. Accomplishing either of these will result in a vast positional advantage, giving you the freedom to control the pace of the game. Electric Head is also available for free for the first week of play.

Making its second appearance as our annual Holiday Arena is the perennial favorite, Winter's Edge. A port of Quake II's The Edge, which last week saw it's 14th year passing since release, this year we are allowing the ability to play this arena across all gamemodes that support it. Along with The Edge, also return the most important part, the decorations! With a dimmer tree in the center of the map, we hope there will be less reports of temporary blindness as players run out into the iconic center area of the map.

Making it's third appearance is the terrain-based CTF arena, Silent Night. Otherwise known as Distant Screams, Silent Night is a fast-paced map taking place in a nameless tundra. Bases are peppered with (my personal favorite) jetpack style Flight powerup, along with the self-damage reducing Scout rune. Combine the two, and a bit of skill, and you're able to achieve breakneck speed. There's not much else to say about Silent Night, just hop on and play!
