The Fish Bowl Download Here New: Make sure you look for version two in my b.net thread in the first post. Click the link above (the one that reads "download here") and then scroll down to the first line of the first post on my original bungie thread. The link to my fileshare is there. The improved version is in slot #1. Be sure to give me feedback on the newer version. New: Video of the Fish Bowl in Action - The Fish Bowl is shown at 4:44 in the video. Thanks to Stevemcguy for posting this video and allowing me to use it. New: The Fish Bowl was just announced a runner-up in the Forge the Foundry Contest on mlgpro. Almost took the top prize. You can see that thread here. This is a map made equally by Kmart Assassin and myself. To make this map, we took something ordinary (a man cannon), and made it extraordinary. In the center of the map, a giant, blue bowl awaits whatever you may throw in it (that fits). This bowl is lined with 8 man cannons and 4 grav lifts strategically placed in order to maintain your, or any other object's, rapid rotation around the bowl. Leading up to the bowl is a series of wide ramps that branch off in two directions. At the base of each branch is where you, and an assortment of warthogs, choppers, ghosts, and mongeese spawn. Drive any vehicle up the ramp and in the fish bowl for some great fun. Or just play this map in forge (forge is preferred) and throw in object after object to create your own swirling mass of metal. Trucks are probably the largest objects that can fit in the bowl (sorry no wraiths =[ ). However, it may be possible to add a wraith by manipulating the opening in the top. We felt that a slightly smaller bowl was better because this meant you and your objects can travel faster around it. I've found it a lot of fun to throw in as many dumpsters as you can comfortably fit, and then jump in to try and see how long you last. Or instead of jumping in, just stand in the bottom center and watch the mass swirl around you. Either way is great fun. This map is also great with friends.

It's great to mess around with. Don't forget to leave a comment to let me know what you think. This map can also be seen in the Forge the Foundry Contest Forum Here.
Are you sure? I was under the impression that an aesthetic map was one that was more for looks than gameplay. This map is definitely more of a gameplay map. This was my first post and I thought it was supposed to go here. If I'm wrong, is there any way for a forum moderator to move this. My apologies. Haha! I like that comparison lol. It definitely could resemble the lottery.
Dude it took u long enough to post this!!! lol jk, my friend showed this to me like 5 weeks ago and i love it(it said u were the author) . Also, its not just aesthetic, i've played very fun slayer games on it. Like 2 weeks ago i asked if anybody on forgehub had seen this before and no one had. I glad u finally posted it.
I think it would be better off in the Aesthetic Maps section because ypu would have a better chance in there because it wouldn't get barred under a bunch of zombie maps just trust me on this one. this map is to cool to get lost.
Yeah, Kmart and I finished this map 12/24/07, but I just recently heard about this site. So I thought it would be a good idea to post it here. And Iron Tusk how should I go about moving the thread?
U might have to get and admin or mod to move it. I dunno i've started exactly one thread on this site...
you can ask a mod to move it or ask a mod to delete it after you copy and paste it in to the Aesthetic Maps section. make sure to give them a hyperlink to this map to help them out.
Because I'm new here, I'm not sure on the best way to contact a moderator. I've tried clicking the "report to moderator" link in my first post, but it won't allow me to report my own thread. If you could either report this for me, or inform me how to, I'd appreciate it.
it no prb your new and I think it a great map. I just want to help out and get the beast result from your hard work. EDIT: Right now I would just do the copy and past a mod will lock and/or delete it later just modify your post with a note to the mods that you want it lock and/or deleted
I think this map is fine in the casual maps. It isn't really for aesthetic purposes. This map is more than just something pretty to look at. It's really fun to mess around with. I don't like the idea of moving maps just so they'll fare better in another forum.
This looks really chaotic, however, I think this belongs in the aesthetic maps section. Good design though.
Well now I'm not really sure where to leave this thread. If you think this should be in the aesthetic maps section, I wouldn't mind if you gave a moderator a private message about it.
I downloaded it and played around on it a while. What a fun idea! I love those overhead pictures you took too.
