    BRITISH BULLDOG
    Created by RJM619

    Supported Gametypes:
    Specifically designed Infection variant of the same name

    Okay this is my first map so bare with me...

    UPDATE: 400+ Downloads Total!

    Map Description

    This map started off as simplicity itself. I got permission from the guys over at Halo3Spots.com to use the BasketBomb map as a basis.

    The idea is based on a Britsh Bulldog style game, using Infection. Essentially the players (in pink), spawn at one side of Foundry, and must run and jump into the teleporters at the opposite end. On the other end of the teleporter you will immeadiately die; counting as a score.

    Trying to block your path is the 'Bulldog' (either Black or Brown), who must tackle the players before they get to the teleporters. The teleporters are raised and the Bulldogs have high gravity, to stop them jumping in and scoring as the players would: the only way the Bulldogs can score is by tackling the players. This means, that the game is has NO HONOUR RULES necessary.

    A pretty effective tackle on the Last Man Standing:

    Everyone is armed with Plasma Pistols, though these are useless as no-one has shields. Bulldogs can only 'tackle' an opponent by beating them down; thus infecting them. Humans however, can deal no damage, unless they can trick a Bulldog into the path of on of the map's high-velocity hazards.

    These hazards include:

    A 'road'; mind your self for flying cones and the occasional Mongoose (undrivable)

    Some damn kids playing football

    Also, if the map goes over 90s, more hazards will spawn to spice things up a bit:

    And 120s...

    The map is designed to work with an Infection variant of the same name. Zombies are slower than regular players, and can't jump to stop them cheating. Unlike humans, they can deal damage, but are just as vulnerable to the hazards. The Alpha-Zombie is slightly stronger and is a different colour. The Last-Man Standing is also a different colour to regular players, and is a bit faster than regualr players to give him a bit of a chance. Points are scored by reaching the teleporters (for humans) or infecting other players (for Bulldogs). The person with the highest score becomes the Alpha-Zombie for the next round, and there are 3 rounds overall.

    In conlusion, yes this map is simple. But, I don't believe that is a bad thing; it is very easy to pick up and most importantly is fun! It's not designed to be greatly competitive, but is enjoyable none-the-less. Just to reiterate, I did get permission to use the BasketBomb court from it's creater, on the provision that I link to the Halo3Spots.com site.

    Anyways, feedback is muchos appreciated, enjoy, and hopefully this was an OK post. Oh, and also, watch out for that truck:

    I've always tried to get the game fish and minnows to work, but never could without new rounds starting. Do new rounds start with this game?
    EDIT: Oh, there's three rounds

    Yes, this does look a bit more like a minigame, but that doesn't make it look any less fun! :)

    lol its soccer
    not football! lol No offense, but i believe your english!Srry if that sounded a little rude, but i couldnt resist! Stay Sweet! But for your map! thats pretty cool, but when we play it ( like at school) we play that you make it to the end and then u have to turn around and go back until there is only one person left! that would be great if u could make it do that! Otherwise great map!
    Good Luck On Any Future Maps!
    Peace!

    Cheers everyone just a couple of notes:

    1) I wasn't sure which section to put it in so I put it here rather than MiniGames because this section seems to get more views. If someone could change it that would be greater.

    2) I couldn't think of anyways to make it properly like British Bulldog with running back and forth, so if anyone has any ideas that would be great. The only way I could think of would be to use KOTH, but then there would be no Bulldogs.

    3) I fancy making a version of Beach Bulldog on Zanzibar just to play around with Forge a bit more (like I said this is my first map), so if anyone knows how to make a Teleporter of Death on Last Resort it would be great if they could share the knowlegde!

    4) It's not soccer; it's football! =p

    Looks real good fun, q'd for download, i like the idea of having things interfering with the game and the no honor rules system is good. 8/10

    P.S. It IS football not soccer =P

    Looks like a nice fusion of a handful of good ideas, and it looks extremely fun. If I can make room, I will download.
