    Sharks & Minnows v4
    Created by Spitfire288

    *There are NO honor rules in v4 (unlike previous versions)*

    Supported Gametypes:
    V.I.P. (ONLY works with Sharks&Minnows Gametype)

    Recomended players
    4-16 players, but works the best with many players *only have red and blue teams (try for EVEN teams)*

    Map Description
    This map is based on the game many of us have played countless times in gym class. It's pretty simple, theres two sides, the minnows spawn one the A side and the sharks spawn behind a gate out of the map. The Minnows have to cross from one side to the next (with the V.I.P). When the V.I.P reaches the destination, it moves to the other side, repeating the process. Each Minnow has one life, so dont die. When the V.I.P dies it moves to another Minnow that is alive, till everyone dies. The Sharks must "eat" (Splatter) the Minnows with their (there are only two ways a Minnow can be killed, if they are splatterd or killed by the guardians, the game is made like that) before they reach there objectives. Everyone does zero damage, so the only way to kill is to splatter. The destinations are raised so the Sharks cant get up there (even if they get out and jump). The humans have many items at their disposal (radar jammers, flares, deployable covers, and tripmines *they dont kill the sharks, the sharks are invincible* and 1 custom power up, set to 60 sec respawn, but doesnt start out on the field) the Minnows must be clever, or be the sharks lunch. Once again there are no honor rules (unlike previous versions).

    there are five three min rounds in each game

    Looks cool, and play's well.

    I recently got back from testing with a small party and one of the problems I noticed was when going up the ramp with a Ghost to get into the main area of the map, you sometimes fall off or get stuck.
    The gameplay however is good, and getting to the VIP locations was fun. My strategy was to lure the shark out with bait (helpless minnow) and sacrifice him so the VIP could move across the map.

    Good job on the 500+ downloads, I haven't checked my download #'s in forever.

    looks pretty fun and i like that there are no honor rules you have to follow so we dont have to worry about that one guy in the party that never follows them.

    i thought it would be a minigame cause there are so many different ones arn't there, i will also agree with every one this is a well cool map i like it, the bit i like most is that i don't care if i have to destroy the ghost normally i find it boring and hard.

    Cool, definitely goes in casual, as it is a fun, classic game.

    The map looks great, and I'm glad you have chosen to remake it until it worked almost perfect. Good job eliminating the honor rules. I say almost perfect because Alpha Zombie would be better as the killed minos would become sharks, but you need VIP to encourage them to go. There is a time limit, right?

    This looks GREAT! I'd love to see the previous versions! It's technically a mini-game, but I don't think anyone in their right minds would rap you for it.

    Wow, a few of my friends on XBL asked me where I found this map, and I said ForgeHub.com, and they said they'd check it out. So hopefully we get new members referred by me.

    And in my opinion, there is an honor rule.
    The V.I.P could just score, and then all the minnows could just chill out on the sides.
    Seeing there is a time limit, I'd take it off, so it'd motivate the minnows. (then lower the scoring to make shorter rounds)
     
  20. i dont think this is good map i just do nt sorry
