    Download Gooseblasting!
    Download Mosh Bowl

    For awhile I've been trying to make a bowl. It took me about a month or so to get it right, with the help of my friend, ONEARM ASSASSIN. But after that, I could never come up with a gametype. Until now. How I had it set up before was like this: VIP, with the VIP having a rocket launcher, a brute shot, and stick nades. Meanwhile, the non-VIP would be useless other than being able to drive a mongoose. I figured "Hey, it's rocket race without the race. Wrong. Mongooses get flipped over, or people would intentionally abandon them. So I left the map alone for awhile. I recently made some changes to the map which allows for 3 different gametpes.

    First, and the favorite of those who've played it with me, is Mosh Bowl. In this game, everyone has 200% damage resistance [in the hill], 50% gravity 110% speed, and infinite ammo for their rocket launchers and gravity hammers. Chaos ensues. Given the map's already chaotic nature, adding rockets, hammers, and loweing gravity makes it very possible to just fly off the map. Players gain points for being in the bowl, 1 per second, and an additional 1 per uncontested second, and score 3 points per kill, with a score limit of 250. I would suggest 4-8 plaers, due to lag from so much going on at once.

    Next, Gooseblasting! A sport you'll invent because you'll be too energetic for normal sports! This is an infection-based game where there is only 1 zombie. Humans will start next to a mongoose, and have only swords, while the zombie will have a rocket launcher and a brute shot, with infinite ammo. Humans have 300% damage resistance, no recharge, no nades, no weapon pickup, no radar, 150% gravity, and 75% speed. The zombie is invulerable, has 90% damage, no nades, and enhanced motion tracker. The zombie spawns in the crypt, inside a box with unreachable teleporters above him. After 10 seconds, grav lifts spawn which propel the zombie into the teleporters, which bring him to the red boxes you see above the bowl. The zombie cannot escape these boxes, but can go into the 2-way node that is in there, which will send him across the bowl to the other red box. Zombie gets 1 point for killing a human, and last man standing gets 5 points. 7 rounds total.

    The 3rd gametype I made for this is still untested, so I will not post about it here. I'll just tell you it's called rollerball, and it's teams of 2. Use your imagination.

    Now, for all the surprises the map has to offer. First, players will start either on top of the bowl near a mongoose or at an outside launch pad with a mongoose, with a man-cannon to launch you into the bowl.

    Like I said before, at 10 seconds, the grav lifts will spawn for the zombie. At 30 seconds, shield walls will spawn on four sides of the bowl, like so:

    At 60 seconds, man-cannons spawn in between the shield walls.

    At 90 seconds, a kill ball spawns at the center of the bowl.

    And finally, at 150 seconds, a killball spawns in this convenient little pile of fusion coils.

    Which makes it rain fusion coils constantly in the bowl.

    So if Chaos is your cup of tea, try this out. Also, if anyone has any good ideas on any other gametypes I could use on this thing, PLEASE PM me or better yet, just send me a message via LIVE: Shovelspoon

    This looks like a great map! I love the idea of having zombies chase mongeese in circles.

    Also, you might want to fix the links. You type *url=link^name of link*/url^

    Replace * with [ and ^ with ]

    Looks like a fun map to play on. The bowl thing has been done before but you are using it for infection which hasn't been done before as far as I know. ALso don't take pictures in forge next time, because some people don't liek that.
