    Hijack Arena
    Created by Ace Of Light

    Supported Gametypes: Hijackman!

    BASIC CONCEPT:The Hijack Arena is the map configured for the Hijackman! Gametype. Hijackman! is based on this simple but fun concept: Splattering people is FUNNY! The map itself is nothing special- there are two starting areas with two warthogs each, a u-shaped catwalk, and a large, open central area.

    HOW THE GAME WORKS: There are 2 rounds that last to 10 points OR 5 minutes each. Players gain 2 points by splattering another player, but lose 1 point for any other kill. This point system, especially in large parties, forces players to have to hijack to get a vehicle to kill people.

    WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL: There is an active camo in the middle of the arena for those OMG-I-GOT-HIJACKED-BY-AN-INVISIBLE-GUY moments (also those omg-I-splattered-an-invisible-guy-in-reverse moments). After 2 minutes, 2 ghosts will spawn. After 3 minutes, a chopper falls from the sky (Warning: The chopper has been know squash people waiting for it to spawn). The chopper is, in essence, the map's "Power Weapon".

    This game has been tested over and over and continues to be a favorite among my friends, which makes meh happy :) I realize there may be some thing you could initially abuse but...come on, man, just have fun with it. Recommended party size is 3-8 players. Trust me, with every player higher than 3 the fun doubles.

    Note: I'm posting this map/gametype in both Mini Game and Casual, because I wasn't sure which one it should be in. If a mod/admin needs to remove one of the posts, please do so.
    I wasn't originally going to post this on Forge Hub because the map was made long before I knew proper forging skills, but seeing the front page post asking for more non-competitive maps, I decided to SAVE YOU ALL! Lol. Please provide feedback after playing the map (with proper gametype) with at LEAST 3 people.

    This sounds really fun although you should just make all the people have a huge overshield instead of losing points for regular kills. other than that sounds good.

    Giving overshields would also protect from the splatters a little too much. Losing points discourages the player from just getting in the warthog turret and mowing people down with it.

    the chopper over powers the other vehicles once the chopper is out and an experienced person is using it then it is over you should just make people invunerable so they only be splattered and assasinated or put 2 choppers i played this map yesterday and this happened to me

    It's not a team-based game.
    I get what you're saying about the choppers, though. Originally, I had the idea to place a plasma pistol that spawned at the same time as the chopper to combat it, but then I thought the plasma pistol would be...I dunno. I could make a V2 Hijack Arena/Hijackman!, but I don't think it's popular enough to really matter.

    It looks pretty fun! I would get rid of the chopper though just because it's really hard to hijack that one. Maybe put in a third warthog or ghost? idk but yeah i'll download.

    Thank you all! I love when my stuff is appreciated =) There will most definitely be something to combat the chopper in V2 if I decide to make it. For now, I recommend you stick near a wall when the chopper comes toward you, and hopefully he'll hit the wall and slow down enough to hijack.

    I'll warn you right now, playing Hijackman has a side-effect- next time you go into matchmaking you'll have a feeling like you NEED to hijack the enemy's ghost/warthog.
    Other side-effects include Chopperphobia.
