    Bowling Fusion
    A Bowling map with a fully functional return system


    Map Variant
    Game Variant

    Description:
    Pretty simple description here (sorry about that but it's a simple game). Push the soccerball down the ramp and try to knock down as many pins (propane tanks) as possible, the ball will be returned to the top through an underground ball return, roll again if necessary. Reset the pins with the firebombs (10 sec delay after they explode)

    Just a suggestion... Get more screen shots - one pic usually isn't enough. Plus, this map idea has been used MANY times before. Each map is a little different, but the overall concept is the same. Try and make something unique

    wewt! first post!

    Yes, this is very true, you can show pics of the ball return, people bowling, or something funny that happened in one game

    i sugguest using fusion coils instead of propane tanks, 1 they blow up easer and the name of the map is FUSOIN bowling not propane bowling

    Well...
    1. I know this has been done a lot
    2. The propane tanks are used so they don't get blown up rather knocked over
    3. Unlike most maps I've played of this nature, mine actually functions at near 100% efficiency (i.e. ball won't just stop when it hits the pins, and the ball return almost never gets jammed)
    4. As well a lot of the bowling maps I've played are either straight aesthetic (i.e not functional) or functional and ugly. So I tried to make a map that both looked and worked extremely well
    5. It's called bowling fusion, because it is a fusion of halo and bowling, not because you bowl fusion coils. As well since the fusion coils would just blow up it would be way to easy to get a strike, hence the use of propane tanks. (as afore mentioned)

    I have many unique maps, but they arent quite ready to unveil, as well I thought this concept up myself (without looking at someone else's map). But thanks for the post! :)

    Thank you, and no insults meant if perceived that way


    P.S. Added more pics

    I think he's right you guys. My first thought when I looked at this was that it looks really good. It doesn't have any odd corners and nothing looks like it will get stuck. I'll DL.

    Looks cool but the bad thing is that its not a new idea but maybe the best map for it. 3/6

    yet again this may be so but this map looks better than those 466 previous ones, and probably plays better. :)

    hey, you should put a pallet at the end of the ball return so that you can get the ball when you watn it like after pins are reset!

    Well the firebombs will reset the pins with a single throw (most the time). There is a 10sec delay to avoid continuous explosions, so be patient. As well the pallet would be superfluous, because it doesn't really matter when the ball is returned, simply that it is.

    Thanks for the posts :)
