    DOLLBALL


    Yo. DollBall is a new arena style mini game that I have been working on for a little while. Basically it utilizes the GRD doll found in the anniversary map breakneck. The doll acts as sort of the puck or ball in other types of games.

    I made a series of man cannons that launch the doll from its spawn to the center of the court.

    The doll gets sent by the series of man cannons eventually landing in the hole to the right, which then falls to the center of the court.

    So this is blue's goal. Simply knock the GRD doll into the goal to score a point. 1 point ends the round, best of five rounds. I know the goal is a tad small, but I really wanted the game to involve skill and teamwork.

    Another pic of GRD court.

    I know it is kinda confusing (please ask questions), so here is a recap:
    • The premise of DollBall is that the GRD doll is used as the way to score points.
    • The teams use hammers to move the doll around.
    • The game is to be divided into 5 rounds, 2 minutes each.
    • 1 point scored ends the round.
    • Everyone is invulnerable. This is because I'd like for people to focus on the doll rather than killing.

    So the main problem I will have is testing it out due to the fact not many people have the anniversary maps. So please let me know if you would like to help me out testing this. Thanks.

    I have the same concern as frenchys. It seems too hard to get the doll in the hole in just two minutes. But I'd have to play it to know for sure. I'm up for testing since I do have the map pack.

    Alright so I made the goal somewhat bigger because I did some testing and your both were right. Thanks.

    I vote you change the name to GRDBall.

    Sounds silly, yet interesting. Indeed, change the name to GRDBall

    When the doll goes in the goal does it actually give you a point or do the players have to keep track of the points with honor rules.

    Omg cluck that's awesome! How does the scoring system work? Does the doll activate a mine that scores a ball?

    It rewards them a point. Honor rules are gay.

    Initially yes, but I found a better way where the doll just simply hits a golf ball and roles it into a goal.

    Nominate Cloneball! :]

    What if it doesn't go into the goal with enough force?

    I think it's safe to assume cluck did a good job and placed it so the tiniest nudge will push it into the scoring zone.

    this map is a great idea the GRD doll has a lot of uses such as being able to push the flag around without it being touched and now another great use i like the idea good job
