    Yes, you don't have to tell me, it is very simple. But that doesn't matter... it is very fun and original.

    Everyone spawns up top in one of those baskets on The Pit. They have energy swords, but these are usually just for show.

    The point of the game is to kill eachother. But there is a catch. There are oddballs in this basket, and if you touch one, you pick it up. You lose points for touching the oddball.

    So, you have to "dribble" the oddball around by tapping the left trigger, and then use the oddball (or your sword) to punch out other players. It is really fun, and frustrating at times (especially mid-lunge when you pick up the oddball), but it works well.

    Below are some pictures.

    This is the dribbling technique:

    This last one is an overview (well, underview) of where we are in the map. The whole map takes place in that basket.

    Funny stuff, you need to get ball kills to win the game, but you lose points for holding the ball?

    This is pretty original to what I've seen, and I have started a DL que.
    I'll check back with results from a game

    i like how u used an area of a map that is outside boundaries, let alone on a pre-dlc map. as for the map itslef, not much forging involved so the map must have been fairly easy to make. but the gametype is whats important i guess. i do like the idea. trying to killl ppl with the ball while holding it the least amount of time. pretty cool. 4/5

    Yeah I like forging on older maps because you can be more creative in your ideas. Thanks yeah, and it was the idea that I put most of the effort into... although it did take me awhile to find that basket.

    Hehe, even though this has very little forging, it looks like a lot of fun! Must have taken a while to get to that basket aswell?

    Anyways it looks good for fun, 4/5!

    I've seen very few maps not using a DLC map, and many times these are not great, but you managed to use an out of bounds area on the pit(very rare for forging) to make an excellent game. Good job.
