    Well, I was pondering around some forums and couldn't find a football map ANYWHERE! (Football, not Soccer) So, I decided to create my own. It's not the best, but I suppose it's close to the best I could do.

    The map itself is a bare sandbox (Mythic) with 2 goals, walls and 8 bomb plant spots to simulate endzones.

    Rules:
    1- Always have a referee to start off the match.
    2- Red vs. Blue with a Purple referee.
    3- 4 rounds of 5 minutes.
    4- Only melee, grenades will disqualify you.
    5- Ball carrier moves 50% faster.
    6- All players have a 50% more gravitational pull on the surface (Jumps are lower)
    7- Nobody picks up the ball until the referee says to.
    8- 6 vs. 6 - NO MORE
    9- Everyone lines up on their side of the field.

    More rules will be discussed in game and talked over with.

    MAP VARIANT - FOOTBALL


    GAME VARIANT - FOOTBALL

    Hope you enjoy it :)


    P.S - I didn't use any interlocking/geomerging for the walls around the endzones and the goal as I think it would take too much effort, even though it would look a lot nicer.

    P.S.S - I wouldn't mind some other people to join me as a referee for the games. I'm the only one just now who knows the controls, and for multiple people with friends to create multiple games (If it gets that far), I couldn't do it myself.

    This would be an excellent idea if it were not for your refusal to interlock. This kind of game has potential, but you need to fix the map and probably eliminate the referee; I can't see anyone chosen to be referee not fooling around.

    Your idea is great. The way its set up and the rules is very clever. Only Problom is that you might need a good party and not a lame one where they cheat and not follow any rules.

    Well, I might reconsider the interlocking to make it look smoother, and I could change some of the rules to fit without a referee.

    I'll get right to it after my newly created Sandbox CTF :)

    Interlocking is not the deciding factor for excellence. In fact, his map hardly looks like it needs many objects, so I would almost consider it unnecessary.


    Which brings me to another point, you need more pics. I can hardly tell what your map consists of. Think of stuff like action shots and an overview of the map. It would help us just that much more.

    Interesting. However, I still don't understand how the game works. You said more rules would be discussed in game. We need to know those rules to see if this game would actually work. When posting a map, be as elaborate as you can; if there is something else you could say, include it in your post. Is there a scoring system? What is even the purpose of a ref? Why would a melee get you disqualified? If grenades get you disqualified, why even have them? How would you even disqualify someone?

    This game seems entirely honor rule based which isn't the greatest thing since many halo players aren't that obedient. But again, you just need to fill us in completely on how the game works. I'm interested in how it would work.
