Ring Of Fire Created by BraveDave Supported Gametypes: Closing Walls - KOTH try survive the longest in the hill set up for 2-8 players Map Description Hey its BraveDave. I was a bit rushed to post this map so Ill probably update this every so often as I find problems. I had the idea for this map after I made the first version, then one day I decided to make it. The aim is pretty simple. Try to push other people in and not get pushed in yourself. Every 10-20 seconds the walls move closer and closer until the map size is about half of what it started out as. If you die you go to the viewing platform and if you want you can throw fire bombs at people. The game will continue until there is only one person left and they receive 1 point. There is 3 rounds. The map is CHEAT-PROOF. Trust me I spent ages looking for ways to cheat and theres none (I think). Do not comment about whether you can cheat or not unless you actually have tried the map and succeeded in cheating! And thats pretty much it. Please comment if you find any problems. Also comment on what version you prefer. If enough people like this one Ill make another better version. I also havent had a chance to test this with more than 3 people so Ill have better pictures up soon. The pics dont really do it justice. Its hard to get good action pics when your trying to control 2 ghosts at once and your brother sucks crap at halo. I love hearing what you guys think so remember to comment Ring Of Fire Black Hole (click to see original thread) Piggy Back Viewing Platform This is as far as the walls go Thanks to everyone who helped me make the map and everyone who downloaded and provided feedback.

First reaction: looks sweet! It's hard to believe this is made from the items sandbox gives you. I haven't played it (it's dl'ing right now), so I won't make any comments on gameplay yet. I hope I can try this out with my friends soon. BTW: is the max player limit 4 or 8 players? Edit: Did you know this was exactly your 100th post?
I saw this yesterday on xforgery and was amazed. The merging is really good and the map itself just looks amazing. I need to download this! Also, I'm not sure if you posted the walls getting closer thing on xforgery, but its a great idea!
Looks very well forged. Only question is what happens if you are in the spot of a block when it spawns to close off the hill. Does it just push you into the hill or would it be like when you force spawn a block under you to push yourself under the map?
Lol BraveDave I remember back wen u made the first version I posted u should call the map ring of fire, i cant believe u actually used it. Anyways, looks like it's improved a LOT from the first 2. The first two I found a bit boring, but it looks like youve fixed that, cuz this is ****ing amazing! the idea is VERY original and looks VERY fun. This will be some crazy fun in large parties, i cant wait. Good job man 5/5.
This was fun...just played it with a friend. After the hill moves a first time it is partly inside of the map and if you take a corner wrong you loose when 2 people are playing. Other than this is, this map is awsome just like the zombie one also.
Wow looks pretty amazing. Great job on the merging. The only problem I have is that Ive seen many of these kind of maps like these with the same point. But I love how you added the viewing box and how the map gets smaller and smaller. 8.5/10 I think I might download now just so I dont pick up the wrong idea.
I really like the first version, with the infection gametype, I don't know if this version will be good enough to replace the old one...
Yer lol ive been planning my 100th post for while now. JKS i didnt actually know this was my 100 post until you told me. I guess now im not a newbie. And it is set up for 2-8players. The more people the better. If the block spawns over you itll just push you out. I found through testing it that if the block spawns anymore than 3 wall thicknesses from the previous block itll screw up so I keep mine changing at about 2-3 wall thicknesses No it isnt. In this version the walls are too low for the infection gametype so if your looking for infection go to the first version. I know what you mean but I put alot of effort into thinking up new ideas that haven't been done before so this wont play like all the other monster truck maps. Download and find out. I posted in the thread that I would like it if people could pick their favorite between the 2 so try it out and tell me what you think. Its not wise to make decisions on a map just from the pictures Thanks for all the comments so far
I played this map yesterday, and I loved it. The problem, which was sort of big, was that after you die and you're throwing down firebombs, the other people can assasinate you, and then you spawn dow in the middle layer.
Oh my... I'll download. Ever since I was four I've always wanted to be one of the quarters going down the swirly donation boxes at the zoo. I like the idea, with vehicles and such, and since you said it was cheat proof and you claim you tested all I assume to tried out mongooses? Or did you go with ghosts for cannon/hijack factors? Oh and about the cannons, can't you just kill each other with those, because the gametype allows you make damage, as shown with the viewers having flame grenades. Or..is that just for distraction? OR..did you change some settings so people in the hill make no damage while spectators who are not in the hill DO cause damage. My last question is how do you prevent spectators [if there are more than one] from incinerating each other? Or does it not matter because the game type doesn't give them points? Well I'll try it out tonight and make another post, or edit this one if no one posts after me, I wouldn't want to get double-poster eaters out after me 0.0
As far as I know the map is cheat proof. I haven't had the chance to test it out with a large number of friends yet so im not sure what tweaking need to be done. I choose ghosts because they work by far the best. They can go closer to the killball than any other vehicle they have boost and the hoover over the ground nicely. When your on the ghost it is not possible to kill or be killed by ghost fire. The only problem that I have come across so far if people dying in the spectators box and sometimes spawning out of the map. It doesnt effect the scores or anything like that but I can see how people would find being assassinated 100 times annoying. To your question yes people can be incinerated by other people and the fire grenades are meant for distracting/temporarily blind people. Simple because to prevent camping in the place where you start with ghosts I made it so you are very weak and fusion coils can kill you very easy. It seems like theres no way around that so I guess will just have to be an honour rule.
Freaky... I was just playing v.1 with my friends... Anyway this looks like a fun variant that I'm going to download and play tommorow Looks a bit sloopyer thank the old one though, you should have kept the circular layout instead of the 'jagged' one. I.M.O Edit: And to fix the spectator box mabye each person spawns in their own 'cubicle' E.G. I__I__I__I__I__I__I__I__I
As much as I like this, I liked the old version better. The old version tops this for the these reasons. The wall was funny in infection when 20 odd infected smash the last man standing out the map lol. The ghost spawns were good because you could trap them in. I do like this still tough, it looks like a kathrine wheel. It is well forged and nice and smooth just like the older versions, keep it up
I like this game a lot, it was pretty fun, and very creative. The forging is perfect, and it was incredibly smooth. The only problem with this map was that it got old kind of fast. I also agree with B3NW, I liked the previous version better.
So this is pretty much the map we always default to when we can't immediately think of anything else to play. Just thought I'd give my compliments. Only problem though is that if two people die at the same time then everyone's stuck. oh and sometimes people spawn on the midlevel or in the crypt which is annoying.
I liked this map a lot, and i have played it also much. The only big problem came out when the two last people died at the same time, so I had to stop the game, wich was verry annoying.
