    The Rats Box!
    By Gassy Mule


    This map includes:
    -4 soccer balls
    -8 barrels
    -5 shield doors
    -1 bomb


    This map is built on the top of Ratsnest in the room with the longer hall. When played with the corresponding gametype (Rats Box) you start off with plasma pistols, your first objective is to make it first to the bomb while navigating the hazardous "Balls of Hurt". Once there, simply destroy everyone in your path and plant the bomb!

    This map is best played with 2V2 or 3V3, it can be played with 4V4 but it gets really tangly.

    Dont judge, simplicity doesnt always mean boring! In fact all of the people that i have tested it with have given only positive feedback...

    You can download the Rats Box map variant here Download Map.

    You can download the Box Ball game variant here Download Gametype.


    Any feedback is greatly appreciated, have fun!

    Great post for a nrew member, the map looks very easily made, but some maps that are simple can be so much fun. 4/5

    Thanks Gobbles! I plan to be releasing 5 more maps, all of which were quite elaborately made. They all look fantastic but im unsure for a few of the spawning/gametype elements.

    Looks quite simple. It may be too small of an area though.

    It does seem small but if you go in there it's bigger than you thought it was.

    Good first map its simple and it seems like it would be very fun

    It looks like good fun, but is it really a minigame? Seems rather casual or competitive to me.

    remember the maps and gametype must be in ur file share to be able to download. so i suggest unless u have bungie pro dont remove a map or gametype u still want ppl to download.

    nice post for a new member. im glad u embedded your pics. keep up the good work

    oh and about those "spawning/gametype elements", just about any1 on forgehub, including me, would be more than happt to help you with any problems.

    Good job for your first post/map.

    However, is it not hard for someone to defend that or spawn kill? It seems like its too small of an area.

    You can spawn kill but it does require a greater amount of skill on the killers part then the victoms. It is "easy" to defend the spawn, keep in mind that the bomb carrier does have an advantage in melee over a plasma pistol. Seeing as how both assulting and defending players have different advantages-the gameplay actually benifits from what would seem like fun-hindering effects. All in all, the gameplay is really fastpace and even, also to pick up the bomb off of its spawn you need to stand still giving the respawning team a chance to recouperate and form some sort of plan.
