I have often said to people, even on here before, that if you start getting bored with Arena break into DM. Yesterday, I kept being moaned at because imDEAF just couldn't hit me. That was whilst I was being a 'player' ... so I wasn't constantly bouncing around spinning left/right, etc... I was more or less standing in the middle of a pad, and then dodging...
Dodging is what helped me live through Arena when I wasn't so good, because it made the games last longer with all but the most exceptional of players... DM needs that skill as much as the Arena ones because you have to be far more aware of people being around you, and sometimes a quick side-step or fake movement is all that stops you from being hit at close range.
As for Team DM... nice in principle, but with current code, never possible... with STEAM highly unlikely...
