    Hello, I'm Zachary9990. A few days ago I brought
    you Three Holes that got alot of great reputation, and a
    couple weeks ago I brought you the origional version of
    Zak's Bowling which has had neary 300 downloads so far.
    See Post Here for Origional

    Well, today I bring you Zak's Bowling V2! This new
    version of Zak's Bowling has all the great interlocking and
    features it had before, but now it's better, harder, and
    more asthetically pleasing. Overall I believe this took me
    over 10 hours to make. Also, this was built from the ground
    up.

    The Basic Facts...
    This bowling map is different from all others for these

    reasons...

    1.My map is fully interlocked (at least where its
    needed) and looks very asthetically pleasing.

    2.My Map consists of two lanes allowing competitive play.

    3.My Map has a ball return system that is not an eye sore
    and works 99.99% of the time.

    4.My lanes are elevated off the ground so You don't get
    that foundry ground look.

    5.My Map has gutters that are tilted so your ball
    returns through the system.
    NOTE: Resetting your pins/propane tanks sometimes may

    stop balls. If this is the case just shoot them. This is not a common occurance though...

    New Features:
    • Now using propane tanks as pins. They take longer to set up (due to their delayed explosion time and their tendancy to set others alight as well.) But I believe that they are better because they look better and their easier to knock down, unlike the fusion coils.
      PS. (Not my Idea)
    • Now has a ceiling that isn't rushidly put together. The ceiling is walls and walls are boxes. Also, the Ceiling now has a two teared effect.

    • Ball Return system is better. It is now much faster for those pesky gutter balls. Also, I know every once and a while in the last version your soccer ball would get stuck on the ceiling of the ball return exit. Now I made a whole new system that doesn't allow it to get stuck or return into the bal return and jam it.
    • Balls don't spawn in place. In the last version,the firt round of balls were situtated in the ideal area for a stike. Now they spawn on stairs above the alleys and drop down into the center gutter and then roll down into the ball return system and then you have to put them in place.Lanes are smaller. The two box wide lane system for my last version was fine when I was sing fusion coils as pins but now that the pins are smaller, I have made the lanes only one box wide.
    • There is absolutly no escape...in the last version you could easily crouch below the gutter lanes and get out or go through the ball return system and get out ( not that I know why you would...). In this version I have decreased the gap between the lanes and the gutters and boxed in the return system so you cant get out, only under. (I left it open cause it's fun to go through the ball return...lol).

    Here's Some Pictures of the Map

    You shouldn't of redone your map because I really don't see much of a change from your other one.

    The stair was a last minute thing I throu in just to drop the balls into the game. if I ever inprove it I'll make a trigger for the balls to respawn in but that is just basically there because the balls not matter what will respawn everyonce and a while and they tend to get in the way when they do that. So my solution was to have them drop onto the gutters. I'll probably improve them later.

    This looks like a pretty cool bowling map. I see you are really into bowling and other sport gametypes. You should try making a competitive map now.

    I havent played either of your Bowling Maps (Full Download Queve) but this one looks MUCH better than the other one. The Propane Tanks as bowling pins is a great idea! As soon as my queve clears up I'll definitely download this! The gutters are also a great idea. I know I'll like this one so I'll give it a 4/5.

    I enjoyed the First Bowling Alley and enjoy what you have done with this one, but I have always thought that the Gutters were a bit big. Anyway you can make em smaller?

    looks okay, will probably download if my queue wast full. i like how the ball return works, but i think you should reconsider how low the ceiling is. good work though.
