    Dodge A Barrel

    Description:
    Dodge A Barrel came to me when I was playing fusion frenzy and trying to think of a mini game map at the same time. I liked how in those party games, there is like a spinning rope and you have to jump over it and if it hits you, you are out. In dodge a barrel, you are in an enclosed ring with mancannons on all of the walls. 10 seconds in, a barrel will spawn and start to go around. You spawn in between two mancannons and you have some room to manuever. Your objective is to stay alive for as long as possibe by dodging the barrel, and sometimes dodging people. It is also possible for the barrel to kill you. Then at 45 seconds in, another barrel will spawn. There is one life per round and the last person in the hill wins the round. Occasionally the barrel may get stuck so thats when you yell mosh pit and everyone tries to hit each other into the mancannons. Have fun.​

    *There are only 8 starting points. Having more than 8 people will have people spawning out of the map.*​

    How the scoring works:
    The point of the game is to be the last person to be in the hill because you can only gain a point if you are the only person in the hill and the hill takes up the entire ring. When you are pushed into the mancannons, you will fly around the ring and enter the teleporter, which will kill you, allowing the last person alive to gain a point and win the round.​

    Gametype:
    Dodge A Barrel:

    1 life per round
    invulnerable
    Players do 0% damage
    Plasma pistol start
    Infinite ammo
    No grenades
    Forced color black
    On hill points 0
    Uncontensted on hill points 1
    4 rounds
    Score to win a round is 1
    Team King is disabled
    No time limit​

    *If you are playing by yourself, make the score unlimited and see how long you can last.*​

    Thanks to all of my testers who tested the map. I hope everyone downloads and leave a comment after you play it. There is a roof over it. Enjoy!​

    this looks pretty fun. i just wish there was a way so you can see the barrel the whole time instead of having to guess where its at. nice interlocking though

    Lol it looks pretty fun. I liked your push a spool thing, so this is probably just as awesome. I have seen some variants like this with soccer balls. You should try that next because they hit pretty hard.

    You can tell. You have about a second to decide where to jump. You have to have really fast reflexes I guess you could say.

    Nice idea for a map, it seems really fun to play over and over. That would be one crazy battle for it. Nice interlocking for the part in the middle. Good job. 4.5/5

    this looks like a fun mini-game. i like these kind, the ones that are fast paced and fun to play. one question, how do you get a teleporter outside? i need it in one of my maps.

    Go to where the windows are on the side of foundry. Place a box against the wall and then place a bridge on top of the box. Then place a teleporter on the bridge so it is against the wall. Get on the teleporter and look straight up and turn into the forge form. and you can somewhat fly around. place the teleporter wherever you need. It may disappear if you put it in the death zone so put it on the edge.

    There's an even easier way to do that. Place a box against the wall, place a turret against the window, get on the turret and look straight. Turn into the monitor, and you're out of the map.

    As for the map, this definitely looks like fun. I would play, but none of my friends play Halo anymore. If you want, perhaps we could play sometime?

    We could one time, But I have soccer like crazy for the next week. Also, set the time to win unlimited so you can play by yourself and see how long you can stay alive.

    Youch! I tried this map by myself, and managed to survive a good two and a half minutes. There is one problem with the map though...I was able to jump over the teleporters when I was going around in circles. Eventually, I was just able to time the jumps so that I kept going over the teleporters and stayed inside the ring. You should probably add some more teleporters to the top so that nobody else can jump over it. Other than that, it was fun even by myself. Those damn pesky barrels can be quite sneaky at times too. It stopped going around the mancannons for a few seconds, and then rolled into one and started again. I could've survived a bit longer if it hadn't come out of nowhere and whacked me in the face!

    Haha, thanks for coming back and rating after you played. You are actually supposed to be able to jump over the teleporters. It's sort of a life kind of system, like picking up the green mushroom in mario and you gain one life. Thats really hard to do though with a lot of players. Yeah the barrels will sometimes get stuck and then randomly start going around again and it catches people off guard. If they get stuck for good, everyone has a fist fight to the death.

    Wow, everything I do has been done in another form. Yours looks pretty sweet although I do see differences. I'm downloading now because yours looks really fun too. Hope you don't think i'm a map stealer because I honestly havn't seen your map before.

    This map looks very fun, one question It looks like there is not a lot of room to dodge the barrel because of the grav lifts. Is there more room than shown?
