    Note: This game will not work with over 10 people. To stop people from joining making it 11+, while in the lobby go to Party options, where you change your setting from open to invite only to friends only, and press X then adjust the number of players to 10


    Recomended Players: 10-8, 10 is super ultra recommended.


    Supported Gametypes:

    • B-ball


    Description:

    Actually called B-ball on Court, this map has positions and realistic play. The ball/bomb carrier must dribble by dropping, picking up, and dropping to go fast. When you spawn, there is weapons in front of you. The positions are, Center-Hammer, Power Forward-Brute Shot, Point Guard-starts by bomb, Grav Lift-Small Forward, and Needler-Pretty much filler, but you would consider it shooting guard. Sadly you cannot shoot the ball, only dunks, but with good practice and teamwork you do some pretty good passing using the hammer, brute shots, and grav lift. The gravity is at 50% so there is some mad air. The center can use the hammer to knock people out of bounds or deflect an oncoming attacker out of the air. Other people though can jump in the way of the ball carrier to stop them too or even steal from them while they are dribbling. After a score, the round ends and the team that started with the ball is switched. Sadly there was no way to get it to spawn in the center at the first round only. If a player does happen to die, they respawn on the bench and can simply jump back into play. There maybe something I missed, but, that pretty much sums up the map.
    There isn't a need to post the exact stats and percents of peoples movement, shields, and damage, but to sum it up, the carrier must dribble, people jump high, you won't die unless assassinated, and
    PLEASE PLAY THE MAP BEFORE POSTING


    Edit: Dribbling is NOT an honour rule. You pretty much have to because...
    Traits:
    Bomb Carrier:
    25% Speed
    Normal Person:
    90% Speed
    All 200% Gravity

    EDIT:Took out this Screenshot because I guess it was too confusing. Dribbling is essential, because you go fast, it is not an honour rule and there is no way to cheat on this map, trust me.

    Firstly, the good things. I like how you used a long rod for the basketball net, that's pretty new, and also how you used actualy wooden flooring to give a basketball feeling. The bad? Simply, that there is no barrier to stop you from falling. The dribbling honor rule however, I'm not sure what to say, for it'll require some skill, and I imagine it's a rule that won't be followed very much.

    Overall 3/5, looks like a simple map, and definetly could be a bit bigger.

    It looks okay...The stands are kinda pointless, and the lack of walls around the court make for unenjoyable "knockouts".

    The dribbling honor rule was cute, but would be even better if the player was almost forced to dribble (like holding the ball would reduce their speed to minimum.)

    The dribbling is not an honor rule, the bomb carrier goes 25% speed without dribbiling, so it is pretty necessary. And there is not barrier so you can actually go out of bounds like in real basketball, but, in this case you just respawn on the bench. And the size is fine if you actually play it. Wow I guess I have to add the traits now.

    The person above me has a really good idea about the dribbling idea. You should make it so that the player holding the ball has to dribble the ball by making him very slow when holding it. I like the idea of this map, people might end up cheating a bit, but when you get honest players it could end up playing pretty well. I would have liked it if you could have enclosed it a little bit adding on to the aesthetics and maybe even creating a scoreboard. Nice job on this though, very original.

    The non-enclosed thing is probably staying but, I might add a Scoreboard, that is a good idea ty

    I think he just means that the flag shouldn't be sticking out. Lol, received a warning, thought dribbling was an honor rule dammit. Anyways, tried the map last night, still think it could have been bigger, but I only played with 2 people for maybe 10 minutes, and spent the rest of the night play L4D. I'll try again tonight with more people.

    I might remake it with a scoreboard and more aesthetics, but I will also remove the hammer so that the size can stay since I realized that hammer can be over powering at times. Also there is a bug with gametype I will fix momentarily.

    Hmm pretty interesting, seems a lot of people having been doing basketball lately. I think you should do the things that you talked about in the post above ^^^. Some aesthetics would be pretty sweet
