Code:

mp_teams_unbalance_limit 4

Try removing this line

[matar83]

didnt work why ?

[KFC]

Hmmmm, the cfg looks fine, can you try running another non arena map and see if it runs with ammo/health.

Might want to try running hldsupdatetool and check it has fully downloaded what you need. Sometimes it closes and does not finish the download, took me 2 tries to have it complete.

[matar83]

all other ctf or dm or cp work and i updated it using hldsupatetool at monday why maybe there is a command that i add that says to the server to begin as soon as 2 players are in but i dont know it help?
