***Singularity***- link to video DOWNLOAD HERE This is the second release of the Grav Bag Collection. Be sure to watch the video as the screens do not do this justice at all. This is not a game, and there are no specific gametypes necessary to use this. This is Singularity, a Spartan meditation garden. This custom Standoff map came from my quest to create the ultimate singularity, a spot in which nothing can escape. Using nothing but grav lifts and man cannons, I have been trying for a long time now to create such an effect. In fact, the game 'Gravitation' (linked in sig) came out of this quest as well... I believe that this is as close as it gets with the limit that forge places on said items, unfortunately. Although it is not the perfect singularity, where nothing escapes.. it is still amazing to me and I am sure that you will at least find the results interesting. The map download in my file share contains the 4 soccer ball version. You will see, in the video linked above, that I have put many other things into this, with varied results. You are free to use this however you see fit, I can think of a few games that could be made around this device just off the top of my head.
hi im new hear but am i correct saying this would be more suited to the aesthetic maps fourm ? but back to the map it looks kind of kewl !
ya i wasn't really sure which to put it in, this or that.. i figured aesthetic was more replications of things and junk bc that is mostly what is there.. so i chose this one.. i may have been wrong... who knows. seems casual to me /shrug lol
no casual is for casual maps that are playable not just a structrure that looks cool this belongs in aesthetic corect me if im wrong on that
I don't really think there is a "correct" forum for this, but I think casual is more intended for playable (i mean a map you'd actually try to win on) maps that just aren't as serious as a slayer/objective map. I'd actually probably put this in mini-games, as it's just something to mess around with. Anyway... I'll DL this and give it a go sometime soon. It looks pretty cool and maybe I'll come up with something I want to build out of it. EDIT: I don't think this is aesthetic for basically the same reason you said. Aesthetic is for sculptures, movie sets, etc.
Same dilemma I had lol.. spent a good 20 mins wondering where to post, since my first post p-d off so many FHers, I wanted to do it right lol... I guess it would just clutter things more to put it anywhere else now, so unless I'm told otherwise by someone in charge of something around here, I'm just gonna leave it here. And thanks, I hope you like it, I love to watch the soccer balls lol.. and that'd be cool if you made an entire map out of it, I'm done with this, so unless anyone else does it, it won't become anything more. (unless they give me more man cannons and grav lifts to work with hehe)
I checked it out, and found it pretty frickin' sweet. One weird thing I noticed: I played with it in forge and found it impossible to delete the soccer balls, even after they escaped from the cannons. It seemed like my xbox was so confused by the combined forces of the grav lifts and man cannons that it couldn't even process me pressing the Y button. Weird, huh? I can sort of think of a mini game. KoTH, grav hammers + regenerating grenades, slightly higher-than-normal shields/health, pretty long respawn time. The hill is inside the singularity so that people are wildly jumping into it but are helpless once inside. Players have to find the right balance between killing the competition and flinging themselves into the gravity hole for a few extra seconds. *shrug* maybe it could work...
yeah, if you want to make a koth be my guest hehe.. i am truly done with this map and just use it to space out and watch the weird halo physics every once in awhile. maybe put shield doors around the singularity and the hill so people can't just shoot the people inside like fish in a barrel.. and woud actually have to jump in to kill them, that would be pretty hectic hehe. the reason you cannot delete the balls i think is bc they are not in the original position as soon as they spawn.. you would have to catch them as soon as they spawn again after they are ejected from the singularity the first time probably. thanks for the positive comment
