Arena Mode, is an all new competitive single player experience where you face off against an onslaught of SinTEK foes. The longer you survive, the higher your score, but this is no ordinary challenge. Every moment you're in the game, the Personal Challenge System continues to shift the difficulty, keeping the pressure on. You can translate the PR-Speak into this: It's an infinitely repayable single player mode where you continually try and beat your high score. The best way I can explain the experience is this. Do you remember the Bank scene from the original Matrix movie? Imagine playing that.

Now, in addition to Arena Mode itself, and a few sundry DirectX 7.0 bugs, the patch will also feature 4 all new Arena Mode maps:
- Highrise Lobby Arena Map
- The Office Arena Map
- Turbine Arena Map
- U4 Processing Station Arena Map

As I mentioned above, this is a competitive experience. Now, I know. I know, you're saying, 'But Shawn, this is Single Player. How can it be competitive? You suck.' But alas, it is not so. To add some additional fuel to the competitive fire, we have stat tracking in place, so you'll (in the very near future) be able to see how your scores stack up against others.
