Basketball on The Court: By: xXI Crush lXx and DKLxIIEnergyII Player count: 6 - 8 players I can surely predict what your saying: "Great, another cheap attempt of making a basketball map". Well, for your information...um... well... yeah, it is an attempt of a basketball map, BUT its all but cheap. Cool, sexy, crazy, wild, and extremely fun, but, NOT CHEAP. OK so anyways heres the deal. For some strange reason you and your friends are stuck in this extremely gorgeous basketball court. You soon realize only one of the teams is getting out alive (don't ask me why), and that only way to get out is by planting the bomb, a.k.a ball, in the hoops. Sure, it seems easy, but, it isn't. You see unlike normal basketball balls, this ball weight a million tons. This, for some strange reason, makes the carrier run slower than usual. So, you're forced to work as a team. Using nothing but their swords, attacking players must fight their way through and allow a safe passage for the carrier to score. Once a player scores you might think: "Few, finally this is over". Once again, WRONG. A player must score 3 times per round, and there are a total of 4 rounds, each 7 minutes long. (DON'T WORRY, IT NEVER TAKES THAT LONG). OK, now lets take a look a closer look at the players: REGULAR PLAYERS: Starting weapon: Energy Sword Grenade count: none Movement: 150% Gravity: 75% Radar: OFF BOMB Carrier: Movement 110% Gravity: 50% Radar: ON Forced Color: no Waypoint: no Ok so those are the players. All pretty simple. Now, on to the map. Overview 1: Side 1: Side 2: How to Score: Step 1 How to Score: Step 2 How to Score: Step 3 Ok so thats pretty much it. Ohh wait... NOTE: THE MAP IS UNESCAPABLE THOUGH YOU CAN... Download links: BTW CAN SOMEONE SHOW ME HOW TO POST THEM INTO BUNGIE. AS FOR NOW IT IS A LINK TO MY FILESHARE. THANKS MAP:Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details GAME:Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details
This shouldn't be in competitive. It should be in Minigames or Casual. But, the map looks petty good. I've played basketbomb before on another map, which was unbreakable. I'm sorry if I burst your bubble about the game not being original. I do like how you made the backboards though and how it actually looks like a backboard. And to fix the getting out of map, you could take that bridge and slightly geomerge it into the wall so that there is a slant with no edge for someone to fall. It would be the best way.
While I like the idea of Basketball, the concept looks too revolved around Griffball. If theres any elements you could throw in to add that "Spice" into the game, try it out, and test it with the forum.
Yeah, go into your file share, click on the map you want, then copy the link address from the search bar at the top and put it in your thread. You do the same for the Gametype. As for the map, Im guessing that it's basically grifball with an elevated bomb plant point. The forging is nice and clean, but for me it's just another grifball map without gravity hammers. Great forging though
I can easily understand why u relate this to griffball, but believe, once you play it you will realize it is actually very different. As for the spice up, i have got no ideas that would FIT this game. But, i guess i could come up with something; however if any of you come up with any, please do tell me so and i could make it happen and give all credit to the idea's owner. Keep the good comments coming, and constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. THANKS
Haha, you took the words out of my mouth, I thought it would be ugly and a bad attempt, but this is smexy! its clean, nice size and a very good gametype. IMO i think the gravity and speed are perfect. I see people are saying it is like griffball, which it is but I think it is still fine. Maybe replace swords with plasma pistol and make the shots not do damage; that could make people happy. Anyways very good job sir. P.S. Would you mind if I used this as a canvas?
I could try that out. I will be back after running some games Sure, you can use my map as a canvas, but i would like to see the final product. Also, if you dont mind, if u post it, mention u used this map as a canvas or something like that. Here's my GT. xXI Crush lXx Just in case
hmmm. spice. well if you added say things to throw at people because u didnt like the fact the had the ball...so i say litter the place with plasma/spike grenades but lower there damage. and how about the odd deployable cover, invisablitity brav lift. that would make it play different
Doesn't seem bad. Ill start brainstorming the use of equimpents for basketball. How about Radar jammer to distract the ball carrier? could work out. and maybe also use Flash, or something like that. (PLEASE GIVE YOUR OPINION ABOUT THESE) Though however, i wont put grenades, i want it to be mostly close quartes gameplay. KEEP ON THE GOOD IDEAS.
