    UPDATE: Correct 4v4 spawns have been properly placed.

    Placed invisible blockers as a ceiling for containment.

    Removed Jack's "Fire Extinguisher" easter egg. (HammerFall Judges would probably not like it)

    Moved the invisible blockers behind the goals in closer to prevent clambering on the back walls.

    UPDATE:
    The following changes have been made
    - invisible blockers have been added to the court barrier ceiling to cover possible perches. Angled barriers were added symmetrically to ceiling to keep barriers even.
    - Fire pits near the edge of each team's spawn/launch pad have been scooted back to prevent player death in case player is slung against wall beside it.
    - invis blockers used for floor have been reset and adjusted to fix "earthquake glitch" possibility. Floor should now be perfectly flat and even.
    - Invis blockers have been placed around the wall hop ledge to create more even surfaces and to allow clamber on side walls and prevent clamber on goal walls.
    - mancannons have been adjusted to shoot players into the arena better to get the match moving.

    Description: Cables are holding a giant box under the surface of the ocean. The glass walls, ceiling and floor show natural elements that surround the court. The organic scenery has various appearances to make orientation easy on the players.

    Environment.png
    Environment - The sea floor has many treasures to be seen.
    I kept true to realism and worked hard to make this believable.

    Supports.png
    Structure - Glass is all that stands between you and the ocean.
    There are monsters out there, good thing you're safe in this box!

    far view.png
    Size - This is a huge background setting, almost filling the map.
    There were 1440 pieces used to make it.

    FIght.png
    Court - The atmosphere of the ocean is intense. The area that
    the players occupy is dry and echoes when spartans get smacked.

    Undershot.png
    Visuals - Cool to see the sea. Viewing the ocean scenery below
    makes for a different experience while playing Grifball :)





    Updated the map using the helpful feedback provided by Nokyard
    (And some changes I had to make)
    I am still open to make major changes if ideas come up!

    Thanks for reading c:

    Description: "Red meets Blue where air meets space." -- This Grifball court is set in the drop bay of a UNSC warship. Try not to get vertigo, it'll throw off your game.

    karman1.png karman2.png karman3.png karman4.png karman5.png

    *NOW OUTDATED* Update 30/12/16:
    - Improved lighting in the hangar
    - Added invisible blockers to the Pelicans to prevent ball interference

    Update 31/12/16:
    Update based on QA feedback from NOYKARD.

    - Replaced respawns with NOKYARD's standard Grifball 4v4 spawns.
    - Adjusted initial spawn running start ratio to 90%.

    - Cleaned up containment on the ceiling.

    - Attempted to correct some issues with lighting reflections on Red side.
    -- Note: the "corona" effect observed by NOKYARD does not appear in my game so this fix may be a work in progress.
    - Added some additional lighting to the ceiling to improve contrast.

    - Added a forcefield effect to the bottom of the hangar. This is a visual change only and the floor continues to behave the same way for gameplay purposes.

    Description: "This is the inevitable attempt of giving Grifball a different style while playing on the surface of a Halo ring. This unique Grifball Court is taking place on the Omega Halo, the biggest and only ring manufactured by The Great Ark. Because of its shape and dimensions this court gives a brand new experience to the gametype while running and smashing through the curved surface of the ring. Includes some scripted gadgets to create an immersive experience."

    UPDATE 1.1
    Thanks to Nokyard's feedback the following changes were made.
    • Rearranged both Goals in order to get a perfect symmetry. Used Nokyard's suggested technique to get the score plates aligned and with the equal distances from the ball spawn. (Image 1 & 2)
    • Replaced "blocker sheets" with 128x128x128 blockers to save the earthquake glitch and prevent false ball throws. (Image 3)
    • Deleted gravity volumes to reduce the object's count.
    • Added invisible blockers along the court's ledges to prevent the Ball of getting stuck beneath them. (Image 3)
