    The Swings
    Created by I Cottage I

    Players spawn in open containers suspended above the water and they must avoid falling out of the containers to stay alive and win the round. Zombies must use their Brute Shots to knock the humans out of the swings before time is up. There are 5 rounds and it pays to be Last Man Standing. Map is best played with 8-16 players.

    Good but you should try and block off the rest of the level. I noticed that a few people would manage to sneak off to Froman or the Windmill every round.

    They need some speed to stand a chance from the zombies ( to punch them in the back)

    I would love to see a mini-game pack. I haven't been able to try this one out yet (having problems with XBL), but I and everyone else I've played them with love Hobo-Heights, Necro Falls, and some of the other "mini-game"-esque maps from here. Simple, but very fun.

    From my experience on HH, the whole "killing the zombie" thing is funny for a few times, but once <i>all</i> of the humans make that their top priority and just ignore trying to survive on the pallets, it kinda kills the game.

    Hehehe,
    This was fun as heck, played it 3 player and 5 player today...

    It was a novelty and quite amusing... Hoping to try it out with more of course. ;)

    Keep up the good work!

    Was both amused and impressed when I played this with you guys earlier. The way they swing back and forth is pretty unique and cool. The only thing I would say against it was that if the zombies focussed on the other swings first, you pretty much have to kill time in your container. But that's not so bad (unless you actually do get sick from watching it swing back and forth!)

    Definitely my favorite mini-game so far. However my friends and I usually prefer playing with normal gravity, it's fun to try and jump from container to container.

    Something little, it usually doesn't cause problems but one of the floating containers is right next to the invisible barrier and sometimes it gets like half stuck outside the map when knocked down.

    Never gets old. Once me and Asper and someone else was playing, and he knocked us off the swing. But we fell so he couldn't get in, so he flipped it, into the barrier and still could get in >.<

    One time Yavi and I got knocked down into the barrier and what they did was keep pushing us farther and farther away, until it was so far into the barrier that Yavi and myself were stuck on oneside... we were screamng the whole time and then slashed through the box...
