I like the original shoebox.  As for arena of death.......don't like the map at all anymore.  I don't think the stingers are the problem.  I think shock rifles are what ruin the game.  People whine about not being able to get away with the flag because of stinger whores but the shock combo whore are worse because they just hide near the flag and fire away.  If it is so important to remove the stingers, I say remove the shock rifles too!  But the game was made this way so I think people should just deal with it.  Hey, if we want to bitch, why not bitch about the whores that change their ini files to gain advantages over others? :P
