Suicide Goose Suicide Car Bomb Custom Map and Gametype Ever since I discovered you could make objects and vehicles in to objectives in Reach's Forge, I've wanted to make a car bomb gametype. After working out a lot of technical glitches, I've believed I've succeeded. The map Suicide Goose was based on Hemorrhage, but it includes a brand new red base and other additions designed to enhance the custom gametype. The weapons are the same except for the addition of a Spartan Laser. The gametype is 4 rounds, with one mongoose functioning as the car bomb and alternating offense and defense. Blue team drives their mongoose in to the front room of Red team's base while Red team must stop it at any cost. Each round has a time limit of 3 minutes. Short video showing how to score: YouTube - Suicide Goose Front of red base (defense). Both teams have a Rocket Hog, Revenant, Banshee, Ghost, and two Mongooses. Back of red base. The base has three levels, with a lift to get to the third. The bottom level has a Concussion Rifle. The middle level has a teleport to the trees on the right (where it ends up on Hemorrhage). Wider shot of red base. I just added the rock on the far left and it was not featured in the video. It can function as a ramp to jump over the minefield. The Objective (in the front of red base). Drive in here to score. View of the Objective from inside red base, first floor. Also shows the rockets spawn location (Has been changed to a Concussion Rifle). Top of Red base showing a good view of the area and a turret. In the Middle of the map there is a tower. Mid map tower and Blue base. Features a Ramp and a lift to get up. A concussion rifle spawns at the top. The Spartan Laser is in the middle of the map in the rocks. I was not able to test this map and gametype with more than 8 people total. Any feedback is appreciated.
I really like the concept of having to drive into the other team's base. However, I think the Rocket Launcher, Plasma Launcher, and Spartan Laser might be a little overpowering. imo I think it would be better if the time limit was reduced to say, 2 minutes and the blue team only had to get to the goal once instead of as many times as possible. But that's just my opinion. Also, can the red team block the goal with a vehicle?? Looks good otherwise
You make some good points. I changed the rocket launcher and plasma launcher to concussion rifles (moving the default hemorrhage spawn locations). I also changed the score limit to 1 per round. I lowered the round time to 3 minutes. I think 2 minutes might be a little too short since if the mongoose is destroyed it takes a little time to respawn. You are correct about blocking the goal with a vehicle. I'm not sure what I can do about that, but I don't think I have a big problem with it. That team loses a vehicle and it becomes an easy target. Thanks for the feedback.
Seems like a fun enjoyable game type for all. I myself, am one for the looks of the map. (Sadly) Noticing your first pic, I enjoyed how it looked, and the game play does look fun. If I had Live, i'd update my own maps here. Try making more maps with the game type. 5/5
