    CBCL Octatower

    Gametype: CBCL
    Type: King of the Hill
    Rounds: 10
    Score to win: 1
    Jump height:0%
    Movement: 25%
    Shields: None
    Damage Resistance: Invulnerable
    Damage Multiplyer: 0%
    Vehicle Use: Full

    For those of you wondering what CBCL stands for or what terrible map goes with this odd gametype, it stands for:
    Competitive
    Bumper
    Cars
    League

    Now I know that most of you are deterred by the mass quantity of lack luster bumper cars map, but rest assured I can personally guarantee this is the best one ever made.

    8 people spawn into the hill, board their ghosts and ride on into the which, is unrailed with hole in the middle.

    The rules are simple, be the last man in the court to gain the hill point and end the round. But there is no catch, you don't have to obey the rules, but if you choose to disobey the rules then you will be killed for any rule you break. This version of bumper cars has completely eliminated the need for bumpercars honor rules.

    First let me introduce you to the spawn box.

    [​IMG]

    There are a total of 8 on the map, each containing an initial spawn point and a ghost and a few saftey mechanisms including:

    -A teleporter fit to the size of a doorway in order make box exits only possible when you are in a ghost. If a human goes through they are teleported out of the hill and towards their plummeting doom
    -A one way door which tugs you out of the box once you are in the ghost and on to the court and also makes box re-entrance impossible
    -A mancannon that spawns after 20 seconds which flings AFKs or other box lurkers into the court or into oblivion.

    Additionally in the center of the map as scene in one of the top pictures is a teleporter whose field encases the entire court. In a ghost the teleporter has no effect on you, but should you manage to be caught out of your ghost while on the court you will be teleported to your doom.

    The map is still in beta phase though and I desperately need testers for this map so please post your gamertag if you are interested or send a friend request to my GT: Thumtac.

    EDIT: MAP IS NO LONGER IN BETA STAGE. DO NOT NEED TESTERS.

    TOPIC IS STRICTLY FOR CRITIQUING PURPOSES ONLY

    I like the automated rules here. I've been meaning to find some good ways to exploit the ways 1 way walls treat players and vehicles differently. Looks functional, creative, and doesn't skimp on the aesthetics either. I'd try it out. GTag same as usernname.

    I can do map breaking, and I can do actual testing. Add me, and I'll see what I can do.

    Hey I can't really help you test right now because I'm at college and their NAT setting don't allow me to play custom games, but I'm excited about this and thought I'd comment anyways. I helped you test your Sandbox bumper cars map a little bit, and it's still a favorite among my custom games group.
    Hope you get it up on fileshare soon :)

    Looks like a fun game. I'll have my Xbox back tomorrow, so I'm good for any playtests then.

    Seeing as how this was posted two weeks ago, I wouldn't doubt if playtesting isn't happening anymore.

    Right you are. I don't really need playtesting anymore now this is just sitting in my xbox while I wait for a proper time to post it.

    I'm pretty surprised that this is back up
