    Welcome everyone, to Noxy's Court.
    [​IMG]

    That's right everybody, Grifball Double XP Weekend's newest addition, Noxy's Court!
    Look for this in the GbDXPW Playlist this coming April 1st.

    But until then, catch the newest straine of the disease early.

    Three and a half months have passed since the original "bet" was placed by my room-mate
    to remake Grifball Double XP Weekend's Chichen Itza map,
    and three and half months of trial and error, countless attempts and revisions.

    Simply put, the way Grifball is played in Noxy's Court, is very similar to regular Grifball, however, the bomb plant points are elevated up the sides of the wall, making you have to jump toward them. Also, the court is on an angle. This adds many new strategies. Enjoy, and please leave some feedback. :)

    Special thanks to runNOKYARDrun and all the guys at Grifball.com for contacting me about this map, without them, this map would have still been on the main level of sandbox, and I would've given up on contacting someone to get this into DXP.

    Thanks again to everyone for waiting ever so patiently for the release of this. Without your original support none of this would have ever happened.

    why use weapon holders when you could just save'n'quit the plant points on the wall itself?
    aside from that, the wall is probably the sexiest division/barrier/wall ive ever seen, and congrats on getting it in the playlist.

    I know how happy you are for finally finishing and releasing this masterpiece. It definitely deserves the recognition it's been getting and it deserves being in matchmaking even more! Also, the fact that you remade the entire map to make it perfect is even more amazing. Good job, Nox.

    Hey Noxiw, once again congrats!

    The new game variant is AGLA : Grifball
    Code:
    http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=102583259&fset=123637
    Noxiw is so modest, did he mention who kicked our butts in the inaugural game?

    [edit] didn't see the spoiler

    Again, emense amount of thought, effort, and testing has gone into this map. That idea has been touched on, all it does is cause complete confusion.

    Aesthetics, what's cool about a floating bomb plant point? Nothing.
    What's cool about a floating bomb plant point "suspended" by a weapon holder? Everything. :)

    And thanks for the compliment.

    Thank you! =D Hope you enjoy it.

    Well that's good. Enjoy your games. :)

    Much appreciated man. Thanks alot.

    Thanks man. I don't think the old one is being taken out, just for the purpose that it plays alot differently than this version. (Not a bad thing)
    Thanks for the support. :)

    Thanks dude, you were there the multiple times I was complaining about finishing this/editing something for the ten millionth time because of a tiny bump that in one way or another was able to be stood upon. >=(

    All was worth it though. :)

    Thanks Nokyard. Kicked your butts? More like I was handed my own. Especially by Burnie, I think I killed him once... He's hella good at his game.

    Also, thanks for the link to the official game. I couldn't find it anywhere.
    Hope to play some more GBall with you some time. :)

    Congrats on gettin it in the playlist! Have to ay, this looks a lot better than the old Chichen Itza. Hated that map with a passion. Aesthetics on the walls look gorgeous, same with the plants. Great job.

    For all of those who have been curious as to when (and if it was all speculation...) they FINALLY updated the grifball playlist. :)

    Curious as to what Blockdrop court is and why I highlighted it? I'll be posting it shortly. :)

    Congrats!

    It took a while but you finally got in. I am glad they took Blockdrop as well, i wasn't even sure if the email on that one had been forwarded to Bungie.
