    Core concept and many other ideas by: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]StolenSteal[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]
    GrifGolf is a unique map that takes the fun of Grifball and completely re-masters it. Predicting your jumps is key, knowing where to land can decide whether or not your team scores or whether or not the other team will score on you. Each round is three minutes with 30 seconds of Sudden Death. Wooden bridges and pallets spawn one minute into each round, adding more surface area to the court. This makes the game play more unique because where players stand during this occurrence could end the game quickly. Also notable are the aesthetics that StolenSteal and I placed into the map. Notice how the tin cups face inward and obelisks surround the perimeter on two sides. We also added a note at the bottom at the map that you can view at the end of this thread. So if you have already enjoyed the video, then move to the pictures.

    [FONT=&quot] This is the best overview screen shot that I have available of the map. Notice how straight the bridges are and how far away the obelisks are from the court. This is to prevent camping with the bomb from occurring.[/FONT][​IMG]
    This shot gives a good look into the main spawning areas and also shows where to plant the bomb.[​IMG]
    This is a dead on view from about jumping height.

    This is an overview before the two minute mark is reached. Notice that the bomb that spawns in the middle has two bridges that are there for the whole round.[​IMG]
    Of course, after two minutes, everything is before your eyes...and feet.

    Final overview, admire the handiwork.

    ...and to human too? (Note: bomb holders are the normal Grifball color in version 2)

    Lol just thought I'd point out that you're spelling GREAT wrong. lol

    Anyways. this looks fun. I really like the concept. I believe this idea was attempted before, but if failed horribly (no offense to the guy who made it)
    Looks great though lol. Nice job, I'll download as soon as I get some space.

    This looks like a good map, the forging is great and the idea is original. The only thing I would change would be more platform are around the base. Also you could put the spawn points on top of the tower things to help prevent camping. 4.5

    You can't camp in this game. Players take several hits from the gravity hammer. We also thought the same thing before, that we should elevate the spawn points, but it would interrupt the flow of the game. Also, there is no need to have more platforms around the base areas. Wouldn't that promote camping? I still thank you for the constructive criticism, it helps to know that some thought is put into posts (not saying the others didn't put thought in). Comments are welcomed!

    I've never been a fan of grifball fan since they made it so the bomb guy can kill the entire team on his own but... I think I'll try this out.

    Have you changed the gametype for this map? Cause if not, I guess I'll have to weaken the grifball guy manually.

    No dude, it takes two hits to take out the douchebag bomb carrier. Try the map with me later or see it yourself in the video. Also, each normal player has a little more health than normal. This is to counteract the power of the hammer, to make the game more competitive. Also in this comment, I would like to thank everyone for helping me reach 100 downloads. It means a lot to me to know the work paid off.

    Looks like a nice map, but you die wayyy more than the original Grifball. Sorry, but unless you have instant respawn, I am not downloading.

    You die nearly the same amount when compared to the original Grifball. This is because you can sit on the platforms for brief moments, waiting for the attackers. The game is very balanced as well, and the platforms are spaced equally when compared to the original Grifball field. I timed this and in both fields it takes about 6.5 seconds to reach the middle. Please download and enjoy it yourself. Its a ton of fun.

    This game is so much better than the original Grifball. The aesthetics are pretty good and the gameplay is full of lulz. 5/5

    It's a good idea, especially with the bridges spawning at 2 minutes in, it drasticaly changes gameplay. Nice work
