    Bird Hunt!

    Well, this is my first mini-game ever. I thought against posting it because of the simplicity, but I just played it and it's really fun for some odd reason lol.

    Anyway, you spawn on a lone pallet floating in the air against the barrier between the flare room and sniper tower, pretty high up. With the game variant you spawn with a Battle Rifle and a Sniper Rifle. There are 32 Plasma 'nades on instant spawn in a weapon holder on top of the spawn, so you have 2 when you spawn. To the right, connected to the pallet, are 8 firebomb 'nades also on instant spawn.

    The goal of this mini-game is to kill the birds that are on the map normally, that means this is a 1 player game. You can snipe them, shoot them with the Battle Rifle, set them on fire, or throw plasma 'nades at them. The plasma 'nades don't stick, which is disappointing, but you can see the 'nade bounce off of the bird, so that's good enough for me. A game lasts for 12 minutes. See how many birds you can kill total, or with fire, or hit with a sticky.
    _______________________________________________________

    Goals (untested, but reachable for sure.)

    1. Shoot Down 275 birds in a game.
    2. Hit 13 birds with a plasma grenade.
    3. Set 13 birds on fire with a firebomb grenade.
    4. Get your first kill. (sniper or Battle Rifle)
    5. Get your first kill. (Firebomb Grenade)
    6. Get your first hit. (Sticky Grenade.)

    Looks like fun, but the birds would have to respawn quickly to make this enjoyable. If they do, I for one would have a great time. Maybe more spots for other players for a competitive competition?

    Where Am I: I'm floating in the air against the invisible barrier on Guardian.

    Do the birds spawn instantly: Yes, I mentioned it, they spawn very fast and there are usually around 5 at a time.

    Competitive play: No, only the connection host has the ability to kill them, any other players can only make them bleed. Sorry.

    I've never seen this concept before so, it looks quite fun and I could probably play this for hours on end if I had the time because it would never get old.
    Happy Forging

    Again, thanks for commenting and rating people, I'm glad the feedback is good, I added some goals to the main post, they haven't been tested, but they do have some reasoning behind them. For the 500 kills, I just guessed based on how many I killed in a 30 second time-span, I didn't use math, but the number was pretty high. The grenade goals are just 1 over the time limit, because they are harder. The 'first kill' goals are really just filler, but if you look, some games have achievements for things like that, so I added them.

    Lin, what's wrong with your disk? How is it only partially broken?
    Thanks for the comment by the way.

    Its got some good scratches but it still works with no dramas except for when I try and play Guardian or some of the camapaign levels. When I try Guardian on Custom games or forge it says "Player Failed to Load the content" and when it comes up in MM, it just completely skips the map and Gametype. So say, Oddball on Guardian Comes up, a few seconds later it changes the map to, Crazy King on the Pit, and we can veto that. When Doing MM with me, you can go through 3 maps and gametypes.
    BTW, they were just examples, if Anything on Guardian comes up it swaps to something random, not specifically Crazy King on the pit.

    I'm sick of people like him.
    Normally, I wouldn't think anything of his comment.
    But, this map has been deleted from my hard drive, and fileshare.
    Which means he is lieing to get his post count up.
