I am working on a map variant on Foundry in which you the point is to play soccer! By establishing goals and some basic rules, it can be alot of fun to play ball! Some basic info: You start out with hammers, and no secondary weapon. The map includes weapons for close combat and best used for impact on the soccer ball. Grav lifts that are conviently placed on the playing field, and you respawn on the respected side of the playing field. Rules: The soccer ball is free for all. You can kill or do whatever else it takes to score. Once you score, the advancing team must retreat to the safety line to give the other team a chance for an offense. Once the team get the ball out of their net and into the playing field, the ball is once again up for grabs. It is totally up to you to decide the amount of goals for a win. I will continue updating this post with more rules and pictures. Any suggestions or comments, let me know
Soccer maps are already over-done. Plus the fact that most would not actually play by the honor rules: Try and make a unique soccer map if you still want to. Maybe one that rids of honor rules.
I'm pretty sure it was in Guilder Apps. That's why Sarge said "lockage." I made this whole post about app rules and locked it, and then it was suddenly in Forge Discussion. Anyway, moving is better than locking. Sarge, am I going crazy or what?
I have a proof of concept map for an honor rules free soccer game if anyone is interested in trying it out. Or should i just start a new thread?
Epic Fail... I want to make fun of him so bad but he has Dune reference in his name, which means he is A-OK in my book...
yeah, its been done soo many times. maybe if the people follow the rules it would be fun but most don't. maybe if there was some unique objects in the map it would be fun. add something chaotic to the map. maybe traps or wholes in the floor that get the ball stuck {you would have to raise the floor in foundry to do it} maybe make it to where at the 3 minute make {180 sec spawn after the game starts} all sorts of junk falls into the arena making it harder to score.
I'm sorry but soccer maps are overdone quite a bit. There's really nothing original that stands out in your map to make it anything interesting to pick up. It seems almost exactly like the soccer game that Bungie wrote about when the DLC came out. Also, the fact that you can kill (and that everyone has hammers) could just make the game devolve into a killing frenzy. Don't let that discourage you; try to make it anyway and post it in the Forge Maps board! Good luck with that.
Sounds like other soccer gametypes with more honour rules. Probably best that if you make a soccer map make it something unique.
