    Flushing Toilet

    Flushing Toilet is a map-in-progress that is based off the insane gametype variant "HaloBall" in action sack. Using the same technique from my past map Avalanche, I have access to an unlimited number of golf balls.

    Toilet basically uses these golf balls to give players the challange of trying to both stay alive and try not to get buried like my other past map Toy Factory. Instead of having a zombie, this gametype can use up to 4 teams and to scores 'survivors' toward the overall team's score.

    YouTube - Map Preview (THFE) - "Toilet" Preview

    Players spawn on top of several barriers to hold them and the golf balls up from the watery depths below. I don't know how these squads got in a giant toliet... but things get worse quickly, as someone just so happens to be releasing their heavy bowels.

    Once the bottem section is filled, the successful players jump onto a ledge that holds several first aid kits.

    The rest, dead or alive, get flushed.

    If a player dies, they are sent to a waiting room which they can watch the rest try to survive. However this a part that I plan to change, instead of just watching, I plan to add weapons and such so players can disturb the survivors, shift the balls and alter gameplay like I did in Crash-up Derby.

    [​IMG]

    This process is repeated 3 times, and at the end, any remaining survivours pick up a armor ability and enter into their team designated room, in which they score a point for that team.

    Whichever team has the most points wins. Please leave comments or suggestions of how I could improve this map. Also thank BevansLaw for the wonderful review he provided for the video on my YouTube channel "TheHaloForgeEpidemic".

    Oh, oh, oh, I've got an idea! Use the same system that you used in you map Toy Factory. Use a trip-mine switch to shoot or spawn something to, I guess, re-flush the (golf) balls. Like an explosion or something. Also, I know you said this but, replace the Window, Doubles with just normal Windows that you can shoot through, with maybe a Concussion Rifle or something. Just some thoughts

    This looks really awesome, Darth craps out another minigame. Sweet.

    Darth, you need to make a post for how to use the Insane gametype, b/c w/ most of these, I'm lost to how you did it.

    I wouldn't let people shoot others once they die. Minigames are best enjoyed in simplicity, and adding in unnessecary features would only detract from the game. There's also the fact that death would have a much harder consequence for the player if he were unable to help his teammates out after respawning.

    but no minigame is very fun when you have to wait around after death. If you can keep the enjoyment even after a player dies then you've truly succeeded.

    That's it.

    Maybe you could make an extra room somewhere else, where all dead players can do something... I don't know where I'm going to now.
    Maybe a small room where everyone spawns with snipers in it to just shoot the sh*t out of it :D

    or a circle around the "toilet" with some windows to look into the area with the main players, where the dead players can fight eacht other, just think about something :D

    another idea would be, that the dead players can throw objects down into the toilet.
    maybe block them off with a dead-zone so they can't jump down into the toilet, but objects can get through, I guess...

    there are really much possibilities^^

    Edit: ah I forgot: the idea is awesome :D looks very funny =)
    I never saw something like that, so it's pretty cool right now ;)
