Done.
While we're at it we also support multi-team matches (like 4 teams of 2 Heroes each all duking it out).

AWESOME. 
Now this sounds interesting.. ^^ I dare wager that these will be by far the most interesting matches. A free-for-all royal rumble of sixteen (guessing this is the maximum number of participants) heroes duking it out against each other.. I can't wait.. ^^
Sweet stuff there Posi

Oh no, you di-uhnt!
Now all those UT2K5 nutters are going to come back! 
I imagine that once they had the code to allow multiple teams to fight (rather than just two teams), then free-for-all was already included for no additional effort. A lone hero would just be considered a team with one member.
So 4 teams of 2 people? So 8 people total? Will that be the limit to the number of heroes battling it out at the same time in a particular instanced battle zone?
Sorta makes sense as the instanced zone is so far only really designed in missions to have a max of 8 people. Yet I also remember reading someone say that two teams of 8 people can head off against each other...
So is the total capacity for a battle zone... 8... or 16?
If so... does that mean up to 4 teams with 4 people each? For a total of 16 people? Or some combination there of as long as total people is under 16? Or is it 8?
I imagine these are issues still being hammered out in the details, but I found this a bit confusing.
If we had a complete free for all of 16 people... Wow... That would pretty wild. And then have multi-teams against each other. Wow. Even if it was a large number of Duos... It would really put a spin on free for all, and/or group (paired) dynamics.
*ponders about this*
I still hope there is an eventual clarification on how many total people can be in an instanced arena combat at one time. Total of 8, or total of 16?

Outstanding.
My question: Are the arena maps just holodeck-style instanced missions, like the outdoor instances? If so, will there be destructible (or otherwise interact-able) terrain?
Oh, and here's my shameless plug requesting Dynamic Content.
What's the max number of people that can join the free-for-all? If you tell me it's 20+, I'd love you forever. Totally chaotic George Perez-style fights would be delightful...
So we can finally see who is the deadliest boomboxer!

Keep your pants on, no one's ever said anything about total arena capacity. Only a few examples of things that would work here and there, like this "4 teams of 2". Just because that's the example that popped to his mind first, doesn't mean that's the limit, or that it has anything to do with the limit except that it's within the currently planned limit, which anyone reasonable would understand isn't set in stone.
My personal guess is that we'll see a heap of seemingly random limits for each different map and battle mode and whatnot, just like in many other games; limited based on appropriate spawn point capacity and the sort.
They call me the Super-Genius of Justice for a reason... but they forgot what it was.

Silly Ryko, that's what the test server is for!
I know that there is going to be team matches in the arena, but why not also Free-for-all? It would be cool, like four diffrent heroes just brawling it out against each other.
