    Map Title:
    Destruction Derby
    Sunday Sunday Sunday!!!

    Download Destruction Derby
    Download Don't Fall 2 Gametype

    Description:
    First and foremost,credit for invention of this gametype goes to preplook1,this is simply my version.

    The focus of this minigame is to smash the other contestants off of the platform and be the last one in the hill for the win. If you've played Preplook1's version you know what the game entails. There are a few key differences however. Since this is Destruction Derby rather than Demolition Derby, destruction is encouraged. First thing you'll notice is the large playing surface. It's shaped like a table and is very pleasing to the eye since it is fully interlocked. The entire arena is lined with barrells and fusion coils to provide some resistance from falling and even a little explosive fun.

    If you've played preplook1's version you can expect more of the same if you fall off the side. Shield doors bounce you up for a second chance at jumping back on the map. If you fall and can't get back up you can take a teleporter to the observation boxes. However, they are more like the "eff-up-the-remaining players" boxes.

    Here you will find frags for tossing,firebombs for splashing windshields with flames,power drains for killing engines,and best of all the Fusion coil launcher. Give the Coil a little nudge and with the right timing you can land a solid shot on an unsuspecting foe. Aesthetically there is a Dragon cage,which used to be a penalty box but was found to be a hindrance to the players remaining so the teleporter has been taken out

    The gametype is still similar with slow movement (50%) and regular gravity when out of the Warthog to encourage remaining inside at all times. You are now invulnerable at all times also to prevent unwanted death when getting hit by coils, grenades ect...

    That's about it. Here's some pics of the arena:

    Direct your attention to the first line under description.. it says:
    "First and foremost,credit for invention of this gametype goes to preplook1,this is simply my version."

    I guess you could call the map his creation, but the gametype invention goes to preplook1

    I was going to play this until I learned you can't die. What's the point in the whole "screw the other players" box if fusion coils and stuff you launch at them can't kill them?

    Because the point of the game isn't to kill people,it's to knock them off the table. Fusion Coils and grenades aren't meant to kill the players,they are meant to flip them and knock them around and hopefully off the table also. That's the point in the spectator box. Once you are out of the hill it doesn't matter if you or anyone else is alive or not,you're not collecting time in the hill so dead or alive you lose.

    I played this game alot today and heres some suggestions that i think will make the game alot better

    For the gametype:
    Change everybody to having 1 life, that way if they somehow get assassinated in the scorers box, they don't respawn in the hill and get an easy 5 points.
    Also change the starting weapon from plasma pistol to magnum. this really ruined the gm for me because the vehicles would always be getting disabled.
    For the map:
    There is a cage built on the hangar. That teleporter in it needs to be deleted. If u fall out of the map and take the corresponding sender node that takes u there u have almost no chance of being killed and r in the hill so nobody else can score.

    After I made those changes, the game was alot of fun. It only worked with 4 people though.

    EDIT: that cage i was talking about is the shenlong penalty box. its a good idea, it just doesnt work because that box is in the hill.

    Thanks for the suggestions,especially about the penalty box. I can't believe I didn't notice that.

    i still think u should give everybody 1 life so if they get assassinated in the spectator box they dont respawn on the playing field and get easy points. (that mightve been what u intended to do). also this would stop suiciding to get back on the map. and give a reason to stay in ur warthog. this map is still really fun, i play this almost everytime im on

    EDIT: do u think it worked better with magnums then plasma pistols?
    i think magnums make it more fair, plasma pistols were sometimes funny because someone would disable my warthog get in their warthog and ram me off. it did get annoying though because everybody would do it.

    In my mind, if you understand the rules and the point of the game then there shouldn't even be a thought of assassinating another player when off the hill. If you are stupid enough to assassinate the guy then you deserve to lose the round. I just don't see the incentive in assassinating someone,you don't gain anything. I'm going to leave it the way it is,but obviously feel free to change it to suit your needs when playing if you wish to do so.

    As far as the magnum, yeah I like it,besides if you want to take out someones engine you can do so with the power drain when you are in the spectator boxes.
