    Ever get bored of the parkour at spawn while a match is going on? Here is my solution. Off to the side of the spawn, there is a pressure plate that would teleport you to an arena. From there, you pick any weapon regardless of your level and challenge people to FFA in an arena. When you get kills, you do not get credits. Its all for learning new skills and having friendly competitions during a lobby wait. If you want to leave the arena, just type this simple command: /spawn. Its easy as that. This would involve more work for the coders but in the long run, its fun and helps new players learn tips from higher up level players.


    Edit: 2nd option:

    @Chopo101 thanks for building on this idea. The second option is a item in your inventory so when you scroll to it, you are in FFA mode just like the brawl mode in the hub. This might be easier for the coder. So just scroll to the item, and you right click it and chose your loadout for the FFA brawl mode. Then fight on.

    Or they (not really they, it's just one person) could continue coding the ability to join a match that is already in progress. That, in my opinion, is a lot better than an FFA arena.

    Brawler has the right idea I think. I do however think that this would be a lot of fun and would I courage players to unlock new guns.

    I can add to your idea m8. Instead of going to the pressure plate and such, you can have an item that is similar to the "brawl" item in the mcbrawl.com lobby. It would let you have gun fights at spawn. You can have the option of turning it off or participating in shooting people while you wait for the match... (to shoot more people :stuck_out_tongue:)

    I like this idea, but maybe we all use flamethrowers with infinite ammo since they are almost useless in most gamemodes and maps. Like you do in the lobby, you could select it in your hotbar and your armor would turn pink. I know i would like this. It would give people something to do if they don't want to join a horrible game. Plus, let's just face it, the parkour and maze aren't as fun as they seem. In fact, they cause a lot of rage for some players. I mean, It's not like they are going to buy it anyways, with all the bad rumors about it. :3

    This seems cool, but why not make it an item that says FFA Mode on/off? Following from @MCThomasUSA 's idea, maybe you could choose a variety of donor guns, to test them out.
    Also, @BrawlerAce_ , what if there is a bad map on that server and it has the least amount of time before the game ends (of all the servers)? It'll burn up time faster than spamming /play war or doing the parkour will.
