Instead of going with a standard free-for-all style of play, we always banded together in Team Arena mode and went up against a squad of AI players. We had our preferred maps, our own rules, and we made our own fun. I don’t remember which one of us purchased the game first, but I do recall that we played Nightfire many nights a week after practice for a while to come (that and Red Faction II).
