Welcome to the New and Improved Home of the Spartans! Update: New scoring system, works 99% of the time! Dedication: FriskyFrenchy My old map was a sad excuse to be called a map on forgehub. I knew i had to make it better and more pleasing to play in. Well, i've done all i could and here it is! CONCEPT: When you swing a Gravity Hammer, it sends out a shock wave like pulse (The bubble looking thing around the red player.) This is what projects the rocket away or in a different direction from the player. You will most likely have to swing before the rocket is near you (kind of like real baseball!) Some new features: Base lines Safe Batting Bigger field New scoring and more! Some Old features still remain: Pitching mound Foul poles Umpire's box Batting cages Lots of rockets and hammers! Roles still remain the same but with a new rule: Outfield: You must STICK the runner to get the runner out. You are NOT allowed to step pass the baseline (wooden bridges). Killing the runner with a grenade without sticking him will result in a walk or a free base. Runner: You must stay on YOUR side of the baseline. Pick up the bomb and try to run home to score! Scoring: The runner must pick up the bomb on his/her way to home, be sure to pick it up or else you wont score! Rules: Normal Baseball sequence (3 outs, 3 stikes) Ways to get out 1. Die while batting (its kind of hard to die with the new shield door but it does happen) 2. Getting stuck while running to a base 3. Swing 3 times and miss 4. Dropping the bomb and having it reset 5. Dont swing at a pitch 3 times while at bat Ways to get a strike 1. Swing and miss 2. Hit a rocket out of the park BEFORE the foul pole(FOUL) 3. A rocket explodes on a wall before the foul poles either behind you or near the dugouts (FOUL) Ways to score 1. Run the bases 2. Hit a rocket out of the park AFTER the foul (HOMERUN) Welcome to the new park! New: The Grand Stands (Umps box is in the middle of the Stands) View from second base New: Outfield Stands. These arnt meant to be used just for aesthetic purposes but there are ramps just in case. Foul Poles located at first and third base. Entrance to the Grand Stands found in Blues Dugout New: Safe Batting, Stand behind the shield door to prevent death. You can still hit the rocket while its on the other side of the door. New: Foul line, The runner must stay on the right side (Where the red guy is) and the Outfield must stay on the left side. NEITHER SIDE CAN CROSS OVER THE LINE. Brand NEW!!! Bomb location has been changed so the scoring now works 99% of the time! It's located a bit after Blues dugout between 3rd and home, make sure you pick it up! There is an honor system of only the runner can pick it up when they are almost about to score. I know some random blue guy is going to pick it up and score on accident...... New: If you hit a rocket INSIDE or THROUGH this box found in deep center field. YOU WIN THE GAME! Batting cages are back. This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 1536x1152 and weights 157KB. Stand behind the teleporter and shoot a rocket at the corresponding teleporter on the other side. After the rocket is shot go through the teleporter. This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 1536x1152 and weights 172KB. After going through the teleporter, wait for the rocket and swing for the skies! If you do hit a rocket through the box in center field, please post a link to the video and ill give you a little surprise! MAP:Halo Park GAMETYPE:Rocketball
so you remade a map that somebody else made a while ago? or are you the same guy? either way its awesome!
haha, im the same guy. You can even check, my older map is still on the first page listed as Halo Stadium with me as the creater . Thank you, i worked really hard on this map and it will probably be my last map post until reach which hopefully ill make another baseball map.
OH MY GOD! Way better than your other version, I especially like the shield door you stand behind so the rocket does no damage. The stands look amazing, and I like the batting "cages". I was thinking in the batting cages you could put a shield door to block the rockets like you did with the stadium. That's really my only complaint (and it's not a really important one) ill DL and replace the other one with this one Edit: You must take forging pretty seriously if you sent me a message on XBL telling me about the update, (thanks ) looks like I have to download this and replace the older version... again. I hope you keep forging things like this in Halo: Reach, because with the new budget and objects, you could make this (and other games) times ten! Thanks again, and PEACE OUT!
Honestly i tried to fix that very problem. I tried doing a wall slit but it was just too hard to see the rocket and where it went. I would of loved to put shield doors in the cages but i ran out =\. I put overshields just as a quick fix.
Great map! Very good forging, and excellent ideas. After a couple hours of playing i ALMOST hit the center hoop, ill edit this if i make it. =D
Infinitely better then your other one. It's good to see someone who takes constructive criticism and builds with it. I could definitely see someone in the stands catching a ball. That would be amazing. But in all seriousness, this looks amazing now. aside from the gametype, this is an awesome map. I'd suggest looking at the settings for gametypes to see if you can make something work.
THIS IS AMAZING AT FIRST WHEN I SAW IT I THOUGHT "oh another baseball map this is probably gonna be a fail" BUT THIS IS AWESOME ITS SUCH A GREAT IDEA GREAT JOB I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU DO IN REACH
Now thats what I call a mini game! It seems to me you have found the true concept of a mini game which is not about just killing but doing something you would never expect to do in halo. I'm sure this will be one of those games that I am always putting on in customs because I have tried it out and it wasn't bad at all in fact I enjoyed it. Good job nice smooth map also
When I read the part of the description about there only being one runner at a time I was wondering, have you tried having an oddball for each base?
Having an oddball on each base would result in giving you a point at each base which isnt proper scoring. You should only be able to score when you get to home. So far i havnt been able to find a good way to keep score.
Even better than before. This is a great mini game for people like me who love sports and video games it combines both. This also works as a great ascetic map for use in machinimas, great fun good mini game fro having lots of people. great job!
i dont have a cap card but if someone does and be willing to help ill be sure to give you credit on the video.
Im pretty sure this should hold the record of biggest map improvement on forgehub. Hard to believe the first one to THIS!? I played and its very fun, but yet hard. Forging is excellent! This should get featured
The map looks amazing, but I'm a little confused about how it's played. When can the pitcher stick the runner? What positions are there? Explaining how to play would be nice.
The pitcher or/and outfielders can stick the runner as soon as the batter hits it. Its really similar to real baseball by the means of the function of the game.
How many people are on defense? (outfielders, people on base, etc.) Does the runner always have to try and run all the bases, or can he stay on a base?
