    Super-Grif-Punch-Formation-Power Go!

    I have always been a huge fan of grifball, ever since it was released back in the Halo 3 Days, i played it as often as i could.
    Those were the days, every weekend a chance to enjoy earning exp, at double the pace!

    For quite awhile, i had been planning to make a Grifball map, one that would actually be worth peoples time to play and would also be relatively nice on the eyes.

    Majority of Grifball maps i have played in Reach personally, have been very decorated, however they seemed to greyscale for me, and after a full five rounds, i never wanted to see forgeworlds pallet of place-ables again.

    HOWEVER, this didn't actually stop me from forging more and more, till i finally got around to making a grifball map...

    I present...
    HANGER

    Conveniently built next to another hanger for all you hanger-ing needs!

    I have finally gotten back into playing grifball again now that i have built this stadium. I made a ruleset afterwards and tweaked it till it felt just right and now, i can enjoy grifball and all the hammer+face perks that come with it.

    Prepare to be bombed.

    This map is a basic symetrical Grifball Court, no surprise's, no glitch's, no problems of which i have seen through-out the VERY rigorous testing (Very rigorous indeed). I have attempted to make a map using color as a big part of it, which is hard to do on forgeworld since its entire pallet is greyscale.

    Still greyscale, you liar.

    I believe i have achieved my color goal, and the map has turned out about as good as ill get it, without ultra mods of modding-ness.
    Which are bad.
    Though, through clever use of the Lights and glass that shows light exceptionally bright, i have achieved this effect.

    Red Hot Baby.​

    This effect is mirrored on the other side, with the blue light, unfortunately i am lacking a good picture of that one, and this is the best one i have at the current moment.

    Ice Cold Sugar.
    (Confused as to why the blue side is seen as red, the teams probably swapped sides midgame.)​

    The effect adds a nice smidge of color to a somewhat dull backdrop.
    This effect is achieved through using Juicy and Next Gen, this pushes the colors to their maximum, while bringing all the greys and glass back to a realistic color.

    I will update this post, with more pictures and info if anything changes.
    I shall leave you now, with an insane picture of a guy gettin' sploded.

    Are you able to walk on the area of the brace large above the court area? If so, that's a problem. Even if you have a soft kill barrier up there, 10 seconds is all you need to pass a substantial part of the court. Especially if you're playing the Grifball variation with evade. You would have been better off blocking that part off. Regardless, I'll DL and check it out.

    I havent been able to get up there in this gametype yet, as the hammers usually kill you before you land there.
    There is a soft kill, but i will take what you said into consideration and figure out a solution that won't butcher the asthetics.

    Looks good but I reckon you should have used blue coloured pieces on blue side, really like the effect though.
