    Wraith Attack
    Created by Ell3ment and Gunnergrunt

    Required Gametype: Wraith Attack
    Recommended Players: 2-16

    ...And then a pregnant rhino jumped out of my birthday cake wearing a Tom Cruise mask...oh hello, didn't see you there! Welcome to another Forge Hub Feature. Now that I have your attention, do you remember that chap that made Blast Off!? Yeah, me neither! Well it turns out he and his commonly Conquest compassionate co-forger released another map which, I daresay, is rather spiffing!

    So do you like such mini-games as Hobo Heights and Jenga Tower? You do! Well that's a shame because those are examples of exactly what this map is not! Nah just kidding...what kind of guy references stuff in a Featured write-up that has no relevance!? ;)

    Wraith Attack is a beautifully simple, fun, and charming mini game that is played as follows: One guy gets in a Wraith and pushes blocks from underneath the other players' feet in an attempt to knock them off; meanwhile everyone else hops and hopes to stay on the blocks. Should a player fall, they will land on the floor which, nine times out of ten, results in instant death; every once in a while though they may be able to jump back up to safety - Fate is a fickle mistress!

    This game has a brilliant "pick up and play" vibe that works seamlessly, regardless of the player count. Whenever you're chilling in a party, thinking of something to play with your buddies, just pop on Wraith Attack; you'll have a merry old time and laugh your head off while some hapless soul walks straight off the first block they spawn on...there's always one!

    I luv this game, I remember the first version of this map, the infected was in a hog not a wraith, but im hoping wraith will work well. Is there still the issue of people occasionally not dying when they hit the ground?

    EDIT: I double read the post, so there is a 1 in 10 chance of not falling to your death... Somehow Im always the 1 who survives, at least every time I play.

    Yeah sometimes you can jump off the ground if you're fast enough.
    Also I think there's a spot in the corner where you can just stand and not die. Not certain but I think there is... lol

    I've only played this newer variant with the wraith a few times, usually I play on the really old warthog variant. Still a very fun and unique map nevertheless, congrats both of you and also congratulations Ell3ment on the new color!

    Ah, another batch of premiums join the huddle! I'm really surprised that this was featured instead of Prismer, to be honest, but it deserves it just as much. Congrats guys!

    I can't imagine how many minigames you'll have when reach comes along....

    I couldn't tell you about prismer, but I already have so many mini game ideas just based off what i have seen so far in beta it's insane.

    well done on being feautured :)

    i think this map is very good and i could spend a lot of time playing it with my friends :)

    the only bad thing is that with single gametype maps the novelty eventually wares of... :(

    you could try making more maps to fit the gametype to keep it varied :) ???

    I've downloaded it and being completely honest here, pure amazingness. So far I've only tried it with one friend, but it was fun, very fun. Keep up the good work. :)
