Sandbox Hunter's Inn

Ducks have infested this Inn. It's up to the hunter to rid this hotel of the infestation.

Hunters' Inn brings a new twist to the game we've come to know and love, Duck Hunt (let me finish!). Unlike the classic 1 vs All duck hunt game, this duck hunt is made for 4 vs 4, but works up to 6 vs 6.

How though, does a 4 vs 4 duck hunt work out? It's pretty simple:
- Each team starts out in a tube with two teleporters.
- One player from each team goes to the sniper tele, indicated by the wall with the symbol on it.
- The first person into the sniper tele grabs a custom powerup to allow him to kill the other ducks, and also blocks the tele so nobody else can get into the sniper box.
- The rest of the players go through the other teleporter, to grab the flag and bring it back, while dodging the other hunter's bullets.

Each team has two groups of players:

The Hunter



The hunter's job is pretty simple: Kill the ducks!
In order to do this his tele brings him ontop of a custom powerup, allowing him to inflict damage. He kills the ducks in one hit, but cannot harm the other hunter straight across from him.

The Ducks



The ducks' job is a little more complex than the average duck hunt. They will, like the Hunter, go through their respective teleporter to the map. They must dodge the bullets from the hunter to get to the top. Once there they must grab the flag, and then bring it back down to the bottom. Once at the bottom they must go to the elvator, throw the regen, activating the elevator, and ride it to the top to score.

The Game

The settings for the CTF game are as follows:

Spoiler

Base player traits:
50% Shields
Forced color gold
0% damage
Plasma pistol primary, Sniper secondary
Infinite lives
10 second respawn

Custom traits:
90 seconds
100% damage
Invulnerable
Good Camo
25% speed, 200% gravity

Game settings:
9 rounds
4 minute rounds
1 capture to win round

The game goes on until one of two things happen:
- The 4 minutes run out
- On team captures the flag

The Map



The map is split up into two sides, with three floors each. The Red team and Blue team each have their own sides of the map to climb, and their own sniper box for their hunter to occupy.

The two halves of the map are 15 grid squares apart and the sniper box is placed perfectly to give the best LOS. Since the sniper box isn't directly straight across, but rather towards one side, the cover acts much differently than you'd first think.

The first floor of the map. This floor has a bubble shield. (The two thick ramps have been updated since the pic)


The second floor of the map. At the beginning of this floor you have to run a little bit forward. This floor has a deployable cover. (The floating thick ramp has been removed)


The third floor of the map is where the flag is located. Once you reach the end of this floor, you have to grab the flag and turn around and begin your descent. This floor also has a bubble shield.


If you somehow manage to bring your flag to the bottom, all you have to do is enter the elevator. Once past the shield door you are basically in the clear. Throw the regen that spawns at the bottom, jump, and get carried to the top where the capture point awaits.


For those of you that like the classic Duck Hunt, this map takes advantage of symmetry options so it works for the infection variant as well.

Differences from Flag to Infection versions:
- The regen is moved from the bottom of the elevator, to the top of the map where the flag usually spawns.
- The Hunter uses the blue side, and snipes the ducks that use the red side.
- The sniper tele in the red spawn and the ducks' tele in the blue spawn are removed.
- There is a custom and rocket in place of the capture point.
- There are 15 starting points for the ducks, so up to 16 people can play.


I have also included a version of the map that plays with team snipers or team SWAT.

Action Shots
All shots are a combination of flag and infection shots.

Double kill and a snipe right off the bat.


All alone and only halfway through


Almost made it to the end!


Ridin' the elevator and in the clear


Oh shi-


Some last tips
- Be aware of the angles the hunter can see you at.
- All equipment has 90 second respawns (regen is 60) so your first attempt to get the flag may be your most successful.
- This map, although it looks small, is actually pretty difficult to beat. Because you have to turn around, you actually have to traverse 6 floors. Not too often does someone make it to the end, but often enough to keep it interesting.
- The flag has a 10 second reset time.

Thanks for all the positive comments.

Apparently everyone liked the old version where there were infinite lives, and I got yelled at for putting the other version up. So I updated the OP with that information instead. And updated the link to the gametype.

 

About time I got a comment like this. Anyway:
1) The concept isn't really that hard to grasp. Not many people know that regens can activate man cannons. I'm aware of that, and not many maps use it, which is why I did. I wanted to bring something cool to a game that hasn't seen change in a very long time.
2) I know there are alot of duck hunt maps out there, but I haven't seen many on sandbox that are forged as nice as this was. And I haven't seen any duck hunt map that plays like this one does. It was something original that I brought to the game, so I thought I'd share it. If you don't like it, go play the old version or whatever the heck you want to, noone's going to stop you.
3) The story was just something comical I came up with at the last second, It's not anything serious. I thought people would get some lolz out of it.

Care to explain how my well organized post with everything clearly laid out and explained, or my map that plays perfectly with the game it was designed for, hasn't been thought over?

Honestly I had no problems explaining this to my party, it's no different than explaining the rules in tremors or any other minigame, and if you can't take the 30 seconds to explain the game to the party yourself, or afford a 10 dollar headset, then just leave and move on.

 

Really if you take the time to read the post you wouldn't have any problem knowing what to do, or telling your party what to do. If you do maybe I could try to explain it better, but I think I did a good job doing that in the first place. The only person I had a problem explaining this to, was a 10 year old at my friends house who had never picked up an xbox 360 controller before in his life. Obviously I don't expect anyone to know what to do without reading this post first.

Yes the idea has been done before, and maby it has been done too many times. And really duck hunt isn't something my friends and I think is old or repetative, what we do think gets repetitive is the maps, which is why my friends and I try to find new ones all the time. Maybe were the only ones on the planet who do that. And I'm aware that people won't want to keep every map that comes out for one game, but am I forcing you to download it? no, if you don't want to DL it just leave, I really don't care. And yes, that version you linked is very good. I played with my friends all the time but people thought it was too small when we got a big party. They said one of us should make one that supports alot of people, so I did. If you think there are too many of these maps, or think the whole idea behind my map is just terrible, and everything about my thread and map sucks, so be it. You're entitled to your opinion.

My headset only cost me $15. And there are atleast 3 more that are under 20 bucks. And really who would be able to organize a group of so many people, and not have a headset in the first place? And about stealing the gametype, I didn't know it was his game, I thought it was the same game used by every map like this, I made a mistake. I'll be sure to ask him and give him credit if he says yes. And I've already sent a PM asking permission to keep the game on this thread.
