    Welcome forgemates, to this wonderful webpage. Why is is so wonderful might you ask? because it contains this wonderful map, of course.

    Rocket Polo

    [​IMG]
    This is your arena. it contains all 36 of the pedestals you will be stepping on throughout the duration of the game. 36 spawn points and 36 hills. Each pedestal has a random chance to house the hill every 10 seconds. Once it moves, it's a scramble to get to it by employing whatever technique you can all the while dodging the stampede of rockets flying in every direction.

    You have 4 armor abilities to chose from: sprint, camo, hologram, and drop shield. Sprint allows you faster horizontal mobility which is crucial especially because hill movement is quick. Active Camouflage disguises you well, and allows you to stay on the pedestals for longer without being seen. This is especially useful when clearing the hill from far away before taking your prize. However, because of the constant movement, it is not a wise choice for especially mobile players. the hologram holograms. What more can I say? Drop Shield grants invincibility for one hit, but also makes you very visible from any part of the map. this is useful for deploying one pedestal away from the hill so that is spills over into the hill, and surviving a few extra precious seconds before being taken out.

    this is a hill. Stand in it to earn points. if anyone else stands in it, they earn points. Your goal is to prevent that. With Rockets.

    These things also prevent that. They respawn every 10-20 seconds and explode it they touch you...

    ...and when that happens, this happens. Make sure this doesn't happen.

    You can sill hammer jump as well. Just like in grifball. but instead, it lets you see the entire map from above, granting you more efficient deadliness for a few seconds. Just make sure you land on a pedestal afterwards.

    Pro tip: to get from the front of the map to the back the fastest, jump into one of the man cannons. Once you hit the back wall, smash it with the golf club to propel you backwards just enough to land on the last row of pedestals.

    [​IMG]

    And yes, it does get pretty hectic.

    I hope you all enjoy my creation, and I will be back with another super-awesome map again soon.

    Hologram would be useless. They will just fall of unless you point it at the ground. Still this looks original and simple. Some of the best mini-games are simple. I'll dl.

    surprisingly enough, I agree. It was left over from a previous iteration of the game where it was more useful however, whenever I test this map, I still see people pointing the hologram at their feet and running away which is a great distraction.

    lol you should make Hologram the first loadout so the AFK people will get it as a punishment. :)

    Either way, this maps looks like it would be a lot of fun! Will try to check it out sometime soon.
