    My most download game...v2!
    Download map
    Download gametype
    Description:
    Dog-fight v2 is an upgrade of my most popular casual map. I tried to classify it as a competitive sport but everyone has rockets, so that didn't go well. Basically there is a hill in the sky and the only way there is to fly.(No you shouldn't jump out of the banshees to land on a platform.) the objects up in the hill are mainly used for cover when your in banshees or hornets. I've replaced the useless turret with a gauss hog for each team. So the vehicle set is basically; one hornet for each team, three mongeese for each team, one gauss hog for each team (30 second spawn delay), two banshees for each team. It all evens out!and I've learned that the hornet will fail if more than one banshee attacks it.
    Everyone is now equipped with a rocket launcher and a plasma pistol, infinite ammo, and decreased speed with increased damage resistance. Also each team has the use of one spartan laser (60 second spawn delay), two bubble shields, and one power drainer. All the action felt even and fun with every play through. You can't go into the hill and not have people firing at you. Even with a full party everyone playing could do something. This gametype is a clear improvement on the original an twice as fun. 10-16 people. and I would also like to add that the objects in the sky are only for cover when in the vehicles none should go up there without those.
    P.s. You rate without downloading... you will be banned!!... not really...

    EDIT: If you are going to ratein your comments 4/5 5/5 etc. rate the thread to. Its at the top and it could get my stuff more attention. =)

    This seems like a great idea, you should try to make one on Avalanche, that would be epic!
    overall though i like the king of the hill, it makes people get into the flying vehicles

    good job
    5/5

    It looks like a basic casual map. But if you have a lot of people I bet it is really fun. The concept is good, but you should make a video

    I started a map like this a long time ago, but didnt finish it. This looks pretty cool. My only concern is that there are SO many power weapons and ground vehicles that might draw focus away from the game's point: A Flying Hill.

    Awesome! 5/55. Maybe make like a floating platform and put a missile pod and or some turrets there so you could pick people up with the hornet them drop them off there. A tank might be a cool addition too. Maybe try making one on Avalanche with immvable objects. Can you also send me a friend request so i can play on your map? My GT is spartan11777777 : )

    yay a good sandtrap map, you have broken through the haze of crappy floating bases and stairways and driving zombie games. other than that, i would shrink the hill by just the slightest to make things a bit more hectic
    good job 4.5/5

    There aren't that many power weapons and you never forget about the hill when playing.

    Oops, posted this in the old thread! My bad!


    Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this map. I've wanted to do something with a dogfight for a long time, but you've made one better than I could have ever imagined. I've only played it in very small parties, but it looks as though it may be the best possible casual map ever in a Big Team Battle situation.

    I know it's already been said, but it's probably worth a shot making a similar game on Avalanche. It would probably balance out the Hornet v. Banshee gameplay, and the grav lifts would add infantry gameplay. I don't want to sound like a pushy jerk or anything, I'm just excited about this map and would love to see it done again!
