Arena
A new multiplayer game in Halls of Valhalla¸ Arena pits warriors against
one another in a test of their combat skills until only one remains standing.
Basic Arena play is one-on-one dueling, but some maps and servers allow
for larger teams--2-on-2, 3-on-3, etc.
When you enter an Arena game, equip yourself with weapons and shield
and then get in the queue to enter the arena. A number oating above your
head will signify your place in line, and as warriors enter the arena you’ll
see it count down toward 1. When you reach the front of the line -- 1
for 1-on-1 matches, 1 and 2 for 2-on-2 matches, etc.--there will be a short
countdown, after which you will be transported into the arena to challenge
the champions of the previous battle.
Winners of Arena battles receive full health, and all equipment they
brought into the arena is restored to them before the next battle.
Headball
A sport truly t for viking warriors! Headball teams have only one goal:
to score points by tossing the heads of their opponents through the arena’s
goals.
A Headball game begins with each team announcing that they are ready
using a switch placed in the map for each team. Once all teams have
checked in, a countdown beings, during which the players may move to
wherever they believe will allow them the best starting advantage-though
they cannot do damage to each other. However, once the starting gong has
sounded, the melee begins! Combat can be used ‘defensively’ to simply
slow the progress of the opposing team, or players can turn to ‘offense’
and aggressively go after their opponents, hoping for the killing blow of
decapitation.
