Aeroball Sketchup/How big is the grifball court in Reach? Hey forgehub, I'm not working on H3 anymore because by the time I finish my H3 maps, reach will be out., but I'll plan for . I'm still planning a grifball court in an open water area in forgeworld. It's no preview or anything but, this is what it looks like at the moment. I'm almost sure it looks too small, but I just built around the grid. Does anyone have a name for it either? I can't think of one yet.
If those circles on the east and west sides of the first image are bomb plant points, I can see why you might be concerned. Consider the size of the spawn points and the Spartan's native run-speed. It looks like it might take a bit of time to make it from home to the bomb spawn. I can't help you with the exact dimensions of the coliseum, but if it ends up being to small, you can say that you designed it to be faster paced and more hectic. Are the east and west walls Pyramid pieces? I think there's a video where one is spawned, there isn't a player model next to it, but it looks a little over twice the size of the central structure on default sandbox. A little too small after all? Btw, the sketchup looks pretty awesome.
This looks pretty sweet, but it looks a bit small, for a sketch up that is. but yeah looks pretty sweet, BTW is that little walls next to the Bomb Plant?
Wow thanks! I didn't think of that. I guess that sketchup is a little harder to judge sizes, but I think I probably will stay with this one to build off of in forgeworld thanks to you! --- Yeah, those are little bumpers sticking out, because it's a part of the banshee platform peice, and I thought it would change up the gameplay a little bit. There's kind of a peice like that in a halo 3 map, except I think there are little poles coming up between people's spawns. EDIT: That was for backdrop court by Noxiw, but I think his were for stoping the boxes from hitting the bomb plant.
i like how you used the coliseum windows to build the floor, it looks good. but the grifball court in halo 3 was 32 by 32 squares, so yea im guessing this is slightly too small. in my opinion tho, i think grifball should be played on a thinner court (ie. 32 by 20).
Well, the squeres are different in sandbox then they are in foundry, so I can't really judge it by that yet. It probably is pretty close to the sandbox grid squares though.
the whole thing is about going coast to coast, its the only way that grifs speed is an advantage. i wish caboose wasnt already blue, than i would totally make my jetpack grifball map cabooseball. maybe texball?
Sigh. Make your own damn names. Just because this game is named after a popular character in a video doesn't mean you should make another for another character.
Well, you could call it Docball, since he's neutral and everyone hates him. It doesn't have to be named after a character, but roosterteeth really liked it for grifball.
**** it, Name it CHEEZ3BALL. It also sounds delicious. Now on topic, The sketch up looks great. I'm guessing that there is going to be a soft boundary? The walls next to the points would make me angry, because I could be running it in for a clutch play and get **** blocked by a wall, which could also make a dude spawn on the nearby spawn point and kill you. And for the sketch up mess ups, the spawns on the left side are facing the wall. 2/10 for the fail < < 'nuff said. [/sarcasum.]
Griff ball court in reach is a 3rd width and the length of the Colosseum. and there is already one in reach so I'm not sure why your making one but if you are make sure you can't cheat because its all gravity hammers people can fly high so no where they can get to.
Sorry about those spawns. Those are the only things I just couldn't figure out how to turn for the life of me! I'm pretty sure you can jump over the bumpers, but I see what you mean about getting stopped after you got shot there or something. I really don't think that I'll need to worry about people getting themselves out, but I'll probably make a boundary really far out just in case. EDIT: Fix'd the spawns and restaged the pictures. I guess sketchup just needed some break time to cooperate with me again. --- Not that I don't believe you, but could I get a link on the size of the Colloseum? It would also help me a lot! --- Hey, in Halo 3 there are at least 7 maps in matchmaking alone, so I figure if I start early with something original, my map might get on matchmaking in Reach! Anyways... again, I need a link, last person said less then a fourth. Don't worry about the cheating. I'll be on top of that, especially with the tester's guild!
Sounds pretty good. Grifball on Aeroball. It does have a nice ring to it. Just remember that it'll be on the water though.
In the comic con videos, they say that it is "roughly the same size as the Sandbox Crypt, a little bigger actually". Sandbox Crypt is almost 32x32, so I'm assuming that the Crypt is exactly 32x32.
