The Arena gamemode

This is a new gamemode that came along with the heavy update. In this gamemode, you don't respawn until your whole team is dead. The goal is to kill everyone on the enemy team, or to capture the center control point of the map. The control point is locked for 60 seconds in Valve's Arena maps, and cannot be captured until it's unlocked.

This tutorial will show you how to set up the Arena gamemode exactly as it is in arena_lumberyard.
