    Description:

    [​IMG]
    Cherry Bombers is a map constructed by Canadians360 and MultiLockOn, originally intended to be a quick mini game. However, with procrastination only playing a small role, the map still turned out to take much longer than expected. It's best played with a full party of 16 players, and it supports our custom gametype Bombs Away and one by the mini game master Sotha Sil himself, Taxi Me.


    How to Play
    The game is played as followed.


    • Attackers: You are the drivers. You spawn at the bottom of the map next to pairs of mongooses. Your goal, is to survive. And nothing else. Drive drive drive for your life avoiding any incoming rockets. There are a few small things in this map that will assist you on your quest for survival, one being cleverly located on top of the radio antenna. Knock it down and it may potentially save, or take, your life.
    • Defenders: You're defending the arena. You'll spawn up inside two floating bases where multiple rocket as well as equipment will spawn to assist you on your goal of wiping out to mongooses below. Get a rocket, lead your shot, kill the intruders. If they tend to navigate around the far side of the map, and your rockets are taking too long to reach them, take the teleporter to the opposite base for better chances of hitting.

    Yes but we actualy started creating and testing our gametype over a month and a half ago. The sudden burst in this style of map was not something we saw coming. However we did test and test this map to perfection. We didn't cut any corners in this minigame everything in this map has a purpose, was planned out and most likely eddited and refined. The equipment on the map were also continuously eddited from test to test. I promise it's 100% refined awsome fun.

    This is a truly fun game. It can turn into a massive rocket spam from time to time, but overall it is a very fun game. The jumps and structures are perfect to drive on and around. It kinda simple, but people should definitely download this and at least give it a try.

    The game itself isnt very original but I do like the way you work with the concept. Very nice map you obviously paid attention to detail. I will DL later when i get a chance to get on xbox.

    There's only two other maps you can compare to this. 1:Blast Off, and we even spun this map off from that. You got rockets, mongeese, what more do you want? And the other being the Meteor Brothers Map Pack, and we had started this one first. This is extremely creative, and no, I will not take advice :p

    Well thanks for that. Personally, I actually thought it retains gameplay really well, especially against those bigger names with similar objectives like Blast Off, which was actually featured, so I dunno. Like I said, I'm happy with it.

    Cool map dude! so its like three teams and one is just cannon fodder for the two teams to score with? Nice idea once again! 5/5

    No, it's only 2 teams. Think of it like Blast Off. The two bases are just in case some people decide to stay under your base, you just take the teleporter to the other and blow the tar outa them.
