    How To Play...​

    Its essentially "Grifball" with a twist. The twist in this case is the fact that all 3 levels of Sandbox are used. Both teams start in the middle level and must make their way to the bomb which is in the very middle. When they get the bomb they must go through the teleporters at the end which leads them either to the crypt of skybubble (depending on which team you are on). In both the skybubble and crypt there are the teams bomb plant points. If you are confused play the game once and you'll get it.

    Pictures...

    This is the middle level. Nothing too different. Teams spawn on the top of each base and the bomb is in the middle.

    This it the skybubble. Added a floor which is the same length as the crypt's to make it fair for both teams even though you switch sides each round. And NO its not bumpy! You wont need to jump!

    This is the crypt. Added a few objects similar to the skybubble. Nothing too much worked best (I wasnt just being lazy)

    Now to get from one level to another you go through teleporters. These teleporters lead to a special drop system. When you go through you grab a custom powerup giving you 300% speed. This allows you to catch up with your team or catch the bomb carrier. It also helps with tele-camping.

    My only action shot just to show where the teams start off.

    ******
    THINGS TO NOTE
    ******
    * Humans speed is 125%
    * Bomb carriers is 150%
    * Respawns give you 300% for 3 seconds to catch up.
    * Custom powerups also give you 300% for 3 seconds.

    F.A.Q

    Question...
    Answer...

    They are actually faster with the bomb. In playtests the bomb carrier did get by the people. But thats what happens in grifball too, right? There are some things to combat this though. 1) If you know the bomb is close to your teleporter, dont go through. 2) If all team members are behind the bomb carrier, team kill. It will spawn people in front of the carrier. Use strategy!

    Question...
    Answer...

    While that may be possible it is pretty hard. Going into a teleporter it is possible to camp but would be very difficult and not worth it. First of all the object is to advance forward so camping at one of the teleporters is not the smartest thing to do as you would never win. Secondly there are two teleporters. This means that if someone was to camp at them and win they would have to have people at two teleporters as well as people actually trying to score. Now I know people are good at Grifball but I dont think that people are that good!

    Question...
    Answer...

    I can see what you are saying but what would be the point of that? If you got the other team to follow the bomb carrier up there that would be extremely risky because then if he lost the bomb the other team has pretty much won. Why have the guy bring the bomb up to the top, why not just have him move with the rest of the team? Also if the other team is dumb enough to run past the other team to the top level, then I think the other team deserves to win.

    Question... (From Other Forums)

    Answer...

    Its an EXTREAMLY FUN twist on Grifball. It still has the core of it but it is used in a different but enjoyable way. It can be casual or competitive. As for not forging much that is not the case. I put a lot of time into this map. It works better with less objects/cover/obstacles on the map. I spent a lot of time on the teleporter system to make is work.

    Hey ya, it you read in my post it says that after you respawn you are given 300% speed for 3 seconds. It is good enough to get you going.
