    I originally got the idea for this map while watching Pans Labyrinth, during the scene inside the tree and thought it would be cool to have a really narrow map. I also wanted to have a map where the football was necesarry to win the game. So thats why i named it after my favorite footballer, Peter Crouch, and because you have to crouch if your the flag scorer. The idea was also kind of obtained from griffball, because i wanted halo to have another sort of sports map.

    In order for this map to work you need 5v5. 4 people from each team spawn up top and one from each team spawn below. The object is for the 4 teammates up top to keep their person in the tunnel alive and help him reach the other teams flag by killing the other teams member in the bottom.

    Each player has only one life and after they die they go into a room where they pointlessly battle against the other team. I did this because I'm sick of games where you have only one life and you just have to sit and watch the rest of the time.

    The game ends after nine rounds and each round has a maximum time of 6 minutes. there are 4 brs 2 brute shots, 2 turets, 2 maulers, a radar jammer, a trip mine, 2 mongesse, 2 camos, and 4 assault rifles. also after three minutes into each round all grenades and stuff spawn on the bottom so if theres a stalemate the bottom people can try to kill each other. Also all you have to do is reach the flag, once you pick it up your team gets a point anda new round starts.

    Knd of an overview the other side looks the exact same.

    The bottom part where the two people battle to try to push the bll to where they need to get the flag. Once the ball is pushed all the way to the end you reach the flag.

    The gametype just makes it so you dont start with grenades and sets round times so you can just change the settings yourself if you want.

    Since this may seem unclear from all the wordy descriptions I gave heres the basic idea two people battle to push the football foward while their people up top keep them alive. Also if anyone wants to play this with me send mean invite my sn in Kangaroo Killa.

    thanks for pointing out a lot of good points lol.

    The bottom people are supposed to pretty much go nowhere until there uptop people kill their opposition. the bottom dude can shoot up, but then he might lose some momentum on the ball and its hard to regain the momentum.

    Great description and great idea. I'm not a big fan of crouching but it looks like you won't even notice here. Nice interlocking, and it looks like 5v5 will work in a real small area. This map sure works, I will dl and me and my buds will play it in a lan party. What a creative idea, 5/5.

    Edit: For some clarification, the back tunnel, where you go after you die, is that closed in? Or what's the story with that. Do you just go there after you die and just goof around till there's a new round, rather than just sitting doing nothing?

    it really shouldnt theres a lot of strategy and what not goin into it. its a fairley balanced map and its mainly abouttaking chances, to answer the other comment idk where the map belongs but i guess its kinda a minigame.

    Just to get back to you, yomtvraps, I dled the map and played it in my lan party this morning.It gave us some good laughs, yet still had a competetive edge. We played two games, out of 18 rounds, only one was a stalemate.
