Is there anywhere you can track your progress on these badges?

Please consider putting this back! Forced exact team sizes are silly! While you're at it, the pre-game time needs to be put back.

That alone was enough to shut down the majority of the opposing (low rank) team. I was able to get caps myself but then we'd lose our flag. As players rank up, and the matchmaking is made better, the games will improve naturally.

Two questions that have gone unanswered and hopefully can be answered lol:

1) Any idea when another Arena map may be added?

2) Will the blurry/fuzzyness of the Arena maps be cleaned up?
