    I think this idea might work best, and pits the teams directly against each other. Blue team spawns in one large location with a crap-ton of golf balls, and the maximum number of mancannons aimed at red team. They push the balls into the mancannons and try to kill red team, while red team tries to deflect. There's no automatic shooting of golf balls - red team has to do it all. End of round, they switch sides. This could be extremely fun, trying to overwhelm the other team with a large number of balls at once, things like that.

    Also, you could get then have a "goal" under the feet of blue team so not only would a successful shot kill them, but it would also score a point. That way both teams can score every round.

    If you guys want any help forging, I'll be off and on today and tomorrow.

    While having that many golf balls spawn would be quite hectic, it would mess up the scoring system. Just like how Darth did it on Avalanche, the balls themselves can't be used to score.

    Why is that? Can't you have some ridiculous number of Halo balls and still have them score? I haven't played with this extensively but I have 3 balls at times in Tunnelball and that works just fine. Is it just that when you get dozens of them going the game can't keep up or something?

    Nope, it's just that you're setting capture plates, flag stands, respawn points, etc. to ball spawn, therefore you can't change them all to skee ball spawn, which are what you need to score points.

    The ball scoring works fine an dandy:)

    I do like the idea of having blue score when balls kilk red team

    And having blue push balls.... Definitly a possibility

    Edited by merge:


    Ok heres the new plan, tell me what u think:

    I have a HUGE basin, the deflectors are on one side, a large platform is on te other, with the all the blue team on that platform, all the man cannons are on that platform, or u can get to them from the platform at least, so blue team is trying to push the balls into the cannons to killred team, when red team dies blue scores, when red deflects they score:)

    would it be more fun for blue team to add to the feed, or be the sole source of it??

    Feed. Otherwise they could just do nothing, and the other team couldn't score. That would not be fun.

    o_O thats very true. Should we have it so they have to push them in, or should they be able to just shoot at them and push them in?

    EDIT: this maps for the community, so if you have an awesome idea on what the other team should do then feel free to post it, in fact, i encourage it :)

    EDIT2: Ok, i just had an idea, what if there was a stack of say 8 land mines, all seperated by shield doors of some type
    when all the land mines are detonated, it leaves the final land mine exposed, which if detonated, would kill all the red players
    so essentially the red team can take 9 hits total before their time ends, and all the mancannons would aim at that stack of landmines BTW
    whaddya think?
