Fun in the Kitchen By: Its PJ Biaaaaaa Hey guys this is a fun map I created for when I needed a break from regular halo and want to have some fun with my friends. The idea of the map is to launch your warthog into the appliances around the map. You get sent into the toaster and you get a different launch every time. I tried to put a lot of detail into every appliance you see on the map because I felt it was needed. The custom game type is required although any game type where you and the vehicles are indestructible will work. Each appliance has teleporters placed in them to bring you to the upper part of the level in which you can boast to your friends that you made it up there and after launch from the top back down to the toaster. If you fail to launch out of the toaster at the end of the toaster you can fall down into the "crumb tray" area and teleport back to the top to try again. Also placed on each end of the map are 2 teleporters that are placed in rocks that will also bring you back to the beginning to try again.

Please rate and comment on what you think of the map. Thanks!
Wow! An amazingly original game. I love it. The only thing I wish is that you made each teleporter go to a different area so that you can distinguish who got farthest.
This is absolutely hilarious. At first, I was under the impression you were to simply ramp into the various appliances, which didn't seem appealing at all. But then I realized you ingenious (and very appropriate) toaster launcher which completely changes the story, and makes it quite fun as well. The one thing I find unappealing is the wait between launches (considering all of the teleporters and "tray" (which was certainly appropriate as well) but I personally would hope for something faster. Don't feel discouraged to kill players by means of some method on the map, it's a fast way to return warthogs and players to the top And... Can you make the game even more so fun and dramatic beyond teleporters? There's a bunch you can do to reward a good launch besides bragging rights You could fry people in the oven with kill balls, blend players with grav lifts in the blender, or make players feel like their being washed down the drain (I was thinking one way shield door blue side up- looks like water with a forceful feel to it...) As a player, I really wouldn't mind dying in some dramatic, explosive way if I completed the objective. The map is bizarre already In conclusion, this is a very clever and creative map. Well done
I declare shenanigans on how simple yet fun this map is. When I first saw this I was all like "what the f**k is this?" then I actually played it, and OMG this is sooo much fun to play! Who knew that such a strange idea could evolve into such an awesome minigame.
Haha exactly man me and my friends sometimes play this for 2-3hrs straight haha. It is also fun once you are up top to shoot the other people with the beam rifle and send the hogs flying even further
What a creative and wonderful idea! This looks so fun, I'm downloading for sure! My younger siblings love to play reach but dislike the competitive slayer modes, they'll love this for sure. The appliances were forged nicely and the detail on them is outstanding. Great job!
...and the Kitchen Sink. (drummer reference, plus rep if you catch it) What an amazing idea for a map. I honestly have to say that it is stupendously fun. And the detail you put into this is really amazing, I honestly love the Microwave to death.... and the kitchen sink And its so creative! You deserve all the praise I can give my friend.
Looks pretty random. I like it. Anyway, I'm thinkin' you could actually add a scoring system. Make it FFA territories, and set it up like three plot. Expand the range of the teleporters so that you are nearly instantly transported (or maybe have a soft kill zone in each). However, you can make farther 'appliances' give you more points by overlapping the territories in the farther appliances. Or if that's too complicated, you could make it simpler by putting multiple territories on the different appliances.
or even make it stock pile, and have the flag and the base to score in the same general area of each appliance.. supper fun game tho i keep hitting that invisible wall if you fly up too high
Yes this is an issue I am working on. I have found out that if you are off host the mines tend to have a delayed explosion, sending you to the ceiling more times than not. If you are on host you have better chances or flying further, but also have the higher chance of not making it out of the toaster at all. It's quite frustrating but hopefully I will find a fix soon enough. [br][/br]Edited by merge: Alright guys so I need some advice for a scoring system. The problem I have is sometimes you instantly go through teleporters in the appliances and would be impossible to gain any time in a hill if that were the case. Is their any known way to get an instant point without having to stay in a hill for 1 second or is that all that can be done? Thanks.
Make a Haloball gametype, and the warthogs the balls and make the teleporters the goals like they did for Avalanche's gametype Insane DK... and it is instant points and you can set how much points each goal gives you! DD
