It’s time to accept Arenas is a dead mode

If Respawn has no plans of bringing content for this mode then why is it still a permanent mode? The last content released for arenas was March 29th, 2022.  Respawn has been pumping out maps and cont...

    Season 16. I would suggest playing arenas this season before the next season drops.

@XxColdFangxXYeah I agree that’s my point. If they really want for arenas to stay relevant they should support it more. Even their gun balance changes are just reactionary.

Over the seasons you can see Respawn moving away from arenas. They even removed arena challenges and just called non-BR challenges so that arenas can be in line with the other LTMs.

Me wanting to remove arenas in exchange for LTMs is not because I hate the mode that much. It’s because Respawn keeps talking about splitting the player base.

    Speak for yourself, lol. I have tons of fun there, and I only play solo. Run into great teammates, and the matchmaking has been way better than for BR. Instead of a lobby with one team that obviously doesn't belong there that can wipe all of the teams effortlessly, I get pretty even matches, even when going up against a premade on the other side. Maybe there are more people playing arenas than you think? It's kind of ingenuous to believe that out of the 400,000 players on Steam, only 1,000 enjoy arenas, right?

      @LaughingSharko I'm all for them keeping areas as 1 option for a mode. The issue is it is currently 2 modes.

      As for the data showing the mode it isn't popular, these are reasons people think this-
      1- People complain about being matched with and facing the same players over and over.
      2- People complain about not finding games.
      3- There have been no new maps for 2 seasons but maps keep being built for ltms. Why? Perhaps they have data saying it isn't worth it?

        @hayhor What people? A few forum posts? I'm sure the 500 people on the forums definitely reflect the entire player base.

      @LaughingSharkoGlad that the last 10 of you still enjoy the mode.

      I’ve made a few other posts showing that they’re slowly distancing themselves from this mode. Remember arenas flash events? Arenas challenges (even weekly challenges)? Arenas maps? When did we last see this mode in a trailer?

      Spoiler alert for Arenas leaks: there’s none because there’s no plans for content. LMAO.

        This is a good example of why anecdotal evidence isn't good evidence.

        I could point out the fact that LTMs remain LTMs as evidence that hardly anyone plays them. That's why the devs decide not to make them permanent, you know? Is Control coming back this season? Must not have been as popular as you thought.

        Gun Run must have been tremendously popular. That's why it went away for who knows how long. Are there other Gun Run maps being released this season?

        Maybe you have access to the data, though? It would be great if you shared the numbers that you obviously know about.
