    BlackHole
    Created by BraveDave
    Supported Gametypes:
    NoName- Infection (my fav)

    Map Description Hey its BraveDave with my first map ever!!! I was a bit rushed to post the map so there were a lot of issues that I noticed after I had posted the first version. Things like the hole getting blocked and spawn killing other people. I also decided to change the vehicles from Warthogs to Ghosts. Everyone is also given there own starting area so there is no spawn killing. It works much better this way because you can go much closer to the hole without dying. The new version has fixed all the problems you all pointed out to me.

    NoName- NoName is an infection variant where the aim of the game is to not get pushed into the hole. The infected are armed with gravity hammers so stay out of there way. Its starts off with only one infected aka the Alpha Zombie. He has 200% speed and 75% gravity. Anyone else who gets infected have only 25% speed and i really high gravity. They act as anchors that the humans must avoid. Use them strategically. You can slowly corner off areas of the map. Once you have a decent party size (5-9 players) it can be lots of fun. Srry about the name couldn't think of anything to name it.

    This looks amazing! The smoothness going into the hole is perfect and it looks like it would be a LOT of fun! I like how the objective is towards the middle so people would have to risk going in to the hole to score points. Really good idea. Well done.

    This is very, VERY smooth interlocking! I'm surprised this is your first map, I can't wait to see your second! At what point will a warthog no longer be stable? I'm aware that with enough momentum, you could drive right along the event horizon and back out, but at what point is stopping dangerous?

    Holy sh*t! This map is amazing! I actually thought of this idea once, but there was no ways i could pull it off! But you achieved the impossible! Like Crippled Hobo, I also love how the hill is so close to the middle, which makes it hard and risky. The infection variant sounds real fun to, hammers were the perfect choice, man. The only thing I'm worried about is f*cking interlock-flashing everywhere, which really bothers me. But I'll just have to wait and see. 5/5, rated 5*, and qued for it's permanent place on my hard drive. And considering this is your first post, you have a bright future of countless features. AMAZING JOB! I would be offended if this wasn't featured...

    EDIT: No interlock flashing! This is staying on my hard drive! Just one thing, for some odd reason, the censor doesn't allow you to name your map BlackHole, so the file name is Blam!. I renamed it Ring of Fire for myself ;-). Anyway my rating remains 5/5 and a definite feature.

    looks pretty dang cool my friend. there are hundreds of lava-pit maps out there, but i think this one is probably the most relevant; the idea behind it is great.

    Well I guess there's no point in saying great interlocking since everyone already has =D Although, I do want to know whether or not the zombie runs fast enough to spawn kill the humans before they can even get out of the starting area?

    Nice map, original idea (I have never seen any map like this before, only thing it reminds me of is the blender which is not very similar). I suggest putting the warthogs/mongooses around the map so people do not spawn right next to eachother, that just leads to chaos. Maybe put some trip mines near the center, that would be insane!

    The map looks solid and fun. Very nice interlocking there, it looks very smooth and clean, and has no z-fighting. Got to say this is going to be a whole lot of fun. I've played some warthog in the hill games, one just got featured, but I say yours does come close to the competition. One thing I don't like though is the starting place. I mean, that's just assassinations/camping at the start. Make more starting places, like have 3 or 4 altogether, and make a non-camp-system, maybe the rest of the killballs, grav lifts, or man cannons? Just with spawn killing out of the way, this would be so much more fun for people. I can totally see this having a battle with skyline for a super epic hog the hill map. Wonderful job, Dave.

    I had an idea of making a map somewhat like this but never did, cuz honestly that hole would have been really hard to make.

    I'm really glad to see that you did follow through with it and from the pictures it looks done very well

    Played the King of the Hill version with a friend, and while we both LOVE the idea, we were quickly forced to forge in some Mongooses (mongeese?) in place of the Warthogs. The problem was that we were getting Hogs stuck in the hole, they weren't getting destroyed, so they weren't respawning. Now that we are using the Mongoose, we haven't had any get stuck, and it remains quite fun and fast paced.

    Thanks to everyone who downloaded and commented. The feedback im getting is really good. The map post was a bit rushed and i didnt really get time to test the game types at all. I will make a V2 soon with all the problems fixed. Keep the feedback coming

    Really great map man. Very original concept and overall looks amazing. I enjoyed the PointOfNoReturn gametype a lot more than the zombie gametype but both were fun.
