    Map Title: Swat Ball Court v2
    Swat Ball the faced paced oddball game mixed with your favorite type of BR game, Swat

    Download Swat Ball Court Map
    Download Swat Ball Gametype


    Swat Ball Court v2 Updates
    Centered Oddball Spawn, it was a little off to the right.
    Added a wall to the sides of the map to help protect corner spawns.

    Description:
    Swat Ball is a completely new type of game. Two teams (Red and Blue only, for it to work properly) start on either side of the Swat Ball Court, Side A and Side B. You start out with a Battle Riffle as your primary weapon and a magnum as your secondary weapon both with infinite ammunition. It takes two headshots with the Battle Riffle to kill your opponent. The base players speed is set at 110% while the oddball carriers speed is set at 90%.

    The object of Swat Ball is to grab the oddball and hold onto it for 20 seconds while your team mates defend you in 5 different rounds that last 2 minutes each. The ball carrier turns white and has a check point above their head to tell who has the ball. Respawn times are set at 5 seconds and there are mulitple respawn points to reduce spawn camping.

    Swat Ball plays best with 3 vs 3 teams or 4 vs 4 teams.

    There needs to be way more cover in the map. Cover is needed on a no-shields game.

    The spawn issues on that map must be horrible. Please more cover for spawns.

    Well it isnt exactly 1 headshot kill, its 2 (explained in the description) so there is enough cover with 2 headshot kill. Another reason i didnt put more is the fact that the oddball carrier can just hind behind a wall so awhile before it takes the time for you to get over there.

    I have tested and test and tested this map and the cover is fine your teammates just have to help you hence the reason its team oddball with 2 hit kill.

    Re: Swat Ball (New type of fast paced game)

    Well i imagine it would be really messed up spawn wise.

    Iether you didnt put that many, and it would be easy to force a spawn on the enemy, boxing them in and annialating them at thier spawn.

    OR

    You put too many and they will spawn behind you constantly, ruining alot of the team tactics.

    Also i dont think you put that much scenery in. I wouldnt call 10 pieces of scenery (that arnt placed that tidy) a map. If you really thing this is all the cover needed then i would have put this in casual maps.

    I could make that in 5 mins using the picture you provided. It kind of defeats the point of downloading a map that you can memorise and make.

    Just my opinion.

    it looks like that map would take about 10 minutes for me to make and i understand what you're saying with im not adding more cover but swat is a tactical game where you need cover

    Re: Swat Ball (New type of fast paced game)

    Ok for the people who are confused on this, This is only ment to be played with Swat Ball game type. It is not a kill people map, it was inspired by grif ball in which it is meant to be a team game with tactics, not run around kill people and spawn kill them. For the Spawn points they are set as team spawns so they will not spawn behind you and yes there is a way to box them in and spawn kill them but you can not fix that without having them spawn behind you, but that ruins team games. About the cover again i understand you points on the cover but if there is to much cover the ball carrier can just run from hiding place to hiding place without the other team getting some shots on him and this is ment to be a fast paced game where its hard to hold the ball for a given amount of time. Finally the scenery who said this has to be a over crowded map that takes 15 hours to make it was ment to just be a fun fast game for the people who like swat. I have made other good quality maps that i have spent 12+ hours plus testing and making them look perfect but those are actually team slayer type games and not a custom game that no one has ever made before.

    I now hope you guys understand this, i have thought it out over and over again and like i said tested alot and the way it is now works.

    sounds kind of fun but a little too challenging for it to be fun and doesnt really fit well with SWAT. Its getting good feedback so im guessing its gotta be good.

    Re: Swat Ball (New type of fast paced game)

    Sounds VERY interesting :squirrel_eyebrow:
    I am going to download it right now in hope to play it in the next few weeks :)
    The map looks like it has a very good design, just enough cover to not make it feel wide open, but just enough cover so you dont insta killed
    It reminds me very much of a part of a paintballing arena perhaps
    I really hope this works as good as I think it will, may be my new favorite custom gametype

    Try to make more maps like this for the gametype so me and my friends can have tournaments, and have like 3 seperate maps :)

    Dont listen to everyone else, I trust that your testing has perfected the gametype, and I disagree people saying that they shouldnt download a simple map....its a map designed for a new fun gametype, hes not going to make a complex multilevel map because otherwise it would make him have to modify the gametype!

    Just dont listen to them :squirrel_rant: , I just CANT WAIT to play this :D

    Re: Swat Ball (New type of fast paced game)

    I reported this to a mod, so they know about it, and will hopefully move it when they get a chance.

    This map belongs in the mini games forums.

    Change the title of the topic to simply "Swat Ball."
    You're only allowed to have the name of the map as the topic title.

    I really like the concept, and it seems like it would play a bit better with a little more cover, am downloading right now, will get back to you after playing it.

    This map does not really function well with the provided gametype. It eventually boils down to an easy spawn camp massacre.

    Quote from me in a earlier post

    For the Spawn points they are set as team spawns so they will not spawn behind you and yes there is a way to box them in and spawn kill them but you can not fix that without having them spawn behind you, but that ruins team games.

    so there is no way to fix the spawn issues without having them spawn behind you.
