Fiery Deathball v2 now updated with glitch fixes. I modified the original post with new links and pictures. Created by Solorn and MR SLYPRY Supported Gametypes: Unique VIP Map Description Fiery Deathball a unique soccer ball game with no honor system! Fiery Deathball was created to be a vollyballish game with hammers, rockets and a soccerball. The map layout includes shield doors on the floor to keep the ball bouncing. A net that is high enough to prevent crouch jumping to the other side of the arena but low enough so you can jump and shoot rockets into the other side to try to score. Scoring is accomplished by getting the ball to bounce over the back barrier. When this happens the ball will cause a chain reaction that will continually rain fusion cores down on the side of the map that the ball was scored on to kill your opponent. VIP deaths are counted as -1 point so the team who got scored on the least will win the game. The VIP death will end the round and reset everything. The game is played with 9 rounds total. Glitch fixes: You can no longer shoot the fusion cores. There is a teleporter wall in the center that helps prevent players from getting to the other side (I haven't seen it happen yet). There is a teleporter that will prevent a spartan from scoring. The court is slightly larger with the scoring area now smaller. The distribution of the fusion cores causes quicker deaths. There is a fence wall at the scoring area that will prevent the ball from getting back out after it is scored, this will also cause the ball to keep starting the chain reaction if it wasn't started initially. _________________________________________________ The A side of the map The B side of the map The goal area. The mancannons sweep the ball into the fusion cores. GOOOOOOOOOOL! The result of the score View from the court. Notice that the teleporters don't really block your view _________________________________________________ Watch gameplay video I would like to thank MR SLYPRY for helpful comments and gameplay testing. Also thank anyone for comments here about the map. I hope you enjoy it. Download Fiery Deathball Download Deathball gametype
Re: Fiery Deathball You made use of the shield doors very nicely. I haven't seen a volleyball variant yet, so there is some definite originality here. There are enough double walls and single walls to reconstruct three story field walls in a second version, if you're still looking for an alternate in aesthetics. You might actually be able to build the sides of the first level with the remaining fence walls and park a number of cars around the first level for kicks (depending on how much time you'd want to spend on it). Or you might try constructing the floor out of fence walls about one or two boxes off the ground, or much higher on Standoff (a sky court). Haven't seen the roof area--just make sure players can't shoot at the coils up there on Live, which I'm sure you've taken into consideration by now. Functions well as it stands!
Re: Fiery Deathball Some really nice comments thanks, As you already assumed I am underway constructing the second one which will fix the glitches the first one had. First off you won't be able to shoot the pallets on live. Second not allowing you to jump over the center wall. Third making sure the ball doesn't come out after you score. Unfortunately I am using the fence walls on the top level so no cars parked around the sides but that is a pretty cool idea. I like your idea about standoff I had thought about that but liked the flat foundry floor.
Re: Fiery Deathball i wasnt gonna download but i just watched the video n it looks extremely fun. props *qued for dl*
Re: Fiery Deathball you should check out halo3sports.com were just getting started but if we more games like this we will definetly take off.
Re: Fiery Deathball Looks pretty interesting I'll give it a shot. One questions though, what method do you use for placing shield doors sideways? I have done it before but it's always a pain in the ass.
Re: Fiery Deathball Yeah its pretty much a pain in the ass anyway you do it. For version 1 I just held it and saved, then went back to see how good it was. When I had to rebuild the arena for version 2 (currently testing) as version 1 was not on a money glitched map. I put down double boxes and single boxes and then set the shield door up against that. Still had to save and exit but the end result was much prettier and symmetrical on the floor. You are welcome to use it for whatever purposes just make sure you credit me for the map. I would suggest you wait for version 2 though I fixed a lot of the bugs. I should have the first round of testing finished probably this weekend.
Re: Fiery Deathball Wow nice! Great sport! I love Halo Sports haha Try out Airball if you have anytime! Props -DarthYoda19
Re: Fiery Deathball I downloaded this the other day and attempted to play it but i can't seem to figure it out exactly... does this involve an honor rule?
Re: Fiery Deathball no, just hit the ball into the otherside and the other team i will die taking away 1 point from them, at the end of the game who ever has more points wins.
Re: Fiery Deathball No, are you using the gametype that I made? Also I guess you need two people to play it as well so if you tried it solo then that would not work either. Gametype main points: 2 sided VIP VIP death ends round -1 point per VIP death no other points awarded Rockets and hammers infinite ammo
Re: Fiery Deathball Wow this looks really awesome and unique! It's especially for me because I play volleyball
