    THIS IS NOT GRIFBALL
    Personaly I am not a fan of Griffball. I think it gets boring after one game.

    Original map and gametype by THE THUND3R
    Completely remade map and heavily tweaked gametype by LilCornchip

    Download Map B-ball08
    Download Game B-ballhizzle

    The map greatly resembles a basketball court but I sacrificed similarity to basketball for entertaining gameplay when necessary.
    There are millions of basketball games, but few of them are any fun
    Play the game with friends who listen because strategies are extremely important and normaly easy to execute(because I made the game with that in mind)
    I recommend 2v2-3v3; never had a 4v4 game of intelligent testers

    Instead of copying the specific numbers, i'll say what does what:
    )goals can be reached by simply jumping(the grav lifts are for avoiding apponents and STYLE)
    )friendly fire is off (LAUNCH EM)
    )all players have 110% speed and normal gravity
    )base player has a gravity hammer
    )Two consecutive hits (including bomb carrier) kills base player
    )base player regenerates rapidly(200%)
    )bomb carrier is damaged rapidly(-25%) but does not die unless damaged by something else
    )two bomb explosions kill, regenerated or not (I don't know why)
    )two 5 minute rounds (unlimited scoring)
    )1 grav lift, 2 deployable grav lifts, and one elevated goal on each side

    ONTO THE PICTURES
    Red side, bomb spawn platform is under the floor

    Blue side, the wall is flattened for a smooth MEGA DUNK

    RANDOM EXPLOSION TIME!!!

    Team boosting is encouraged

    Imploding others' crotch is not

    Thank you for testing and tweaking THE THUND3R

    This is my first post, and I plan to post many more maps that I've already finished
    I'll gladly take critizism on my map, posting, and spelling

    lol, wow this actually looks like basketball goals. I like way the bomb is the basketball, and the bomb-planty-spot is the goal.

    I really like this b ball court. the only thing is that why are there grav lifts. i do'nt get the point of them. Other than that it is one of the best b-ball maps I have seen. Welcome to forgehub 3.5/5

    thank you for the question and kind words
    -they give the map a third dimension (without them the only way to go up is jumping and being boosted and that is very bland)
    -stationary grav lifts prevent camping the plant point and slow down the ball carrier just slightly enough to prevent one person from scoring repeatedly
    -jukes(I've found many jukes with deployable grav lifts but the simplest example is: the bomb carrier is being chased backwards so he drops a lift and the overeager offender charges forward, hits the lift, and is stuck in the air, while the carrier merely circles around the disgruntled foe and scores)

    The grav lifts are not placed mindlessly because its "a badass thing to do"
    they were added to the map after testing because they enhance gameplay
    ("a badass thing to do" is a rough translation of words spoken by a dumbass concerning a flamethrower)
    Thanks for the review

    Id love to play this. Looks like it has a ton of replay value. Only problem is the download doesnt work.

    I have a map like this that my friend made. It has the grav lifts and everything, and it's for smaller gameplay. I like the style of these b-ball courts and really have no complaints. :p

    Edit: a second look. The merging is excellent, but maybe you can make something cool with the merging, such as more "lights" in the walls or maybe have one of those grifball "drawings" from teleporters. That would be the only reason I would dl this map.
