    Description of Game Variant:

    A game of soccer and ping pong combined this map is a total boredom killer. Rockets flying swords swinging, and balls hopping? Yes this must be a boredom killer. The idea of the game is to get the ball on the other side of your teams area by launching it on there platform and making it in the cage. With a very helpful game type to push you along it won't be on my file share tell tomorrow afternoon.

    PLEASE READ THIS!
    All info below is color coded by the colors pink and orange:
    Black for Version 1 Info
    Light Blue for Version 2 Info

    How to Play:

    Game Type Rules: (Capture the Flag)

    No Team Killing
    Everyone Invulnerable
    Infinite Rockets (Version 2 Requires Brute Shot) + Sword
    3 Minute Rounds
    3 Rounds (4 Rounds on Version 2)
    No Scoring all set to 0

    Set the gravity to where you can't jump high. (Version 2 Highest Amount of Gravity)

    In-Game Rules:

    Scoring System:
    There's no scoring system but maybe a referee. The referee keeps track of scoring by counting the number of goals the opposing teams make in the fence box behind each team.


    Version 2 Scoring:

    There is a fence box located above the teams playing area. You must shoot the soccer ball so it bounces up into the goal above other team. Fairly easy scoring now.

    Cheating System:
    Almost impossible to kill the other team, but only possible by jumping up and down on the soccer ball all the way across the aligned shield doors.

    Another way that people have tried to cheat is to jump across or hide under the map or something, well now if you fall down you can just get killed by stepping into the portals surrounding the edges of the bottom of the map.

    Version 2 Cheating System:
    Seeing how most of the people tried to cheat, I added 3 teleporters on both sides at the bottom of the map. Once gone through you die instantly, that is the only way back up to your base. Also to prevent players from falling I added a short wall that you can't step over very easily. It's very protective during game.

    How to move the ball:
    The ball spawns after 10 seconds of spawn start. The ball falls into play and bounces to either side. When it falls players on either team will fire there rockets at the ball or the shield doors. Doing so makes the ball bounce and move around rapidly. With great force and timing you can make it onto the other players platform to score. Very team based with team work, also very hard to score, future versions will suggest easier scoring.

    Version 2 Moving the Ball:
    The ball rolls down at 10 seconds and takes approximately 3 seconds to roll down, so altogether it takes 13 seconds for the game to start. Once the ball has fallen onto either side the players must defend there goals by shooting the ball with a brute shot, or playing defense with an energy sword. The brute shot was much easier to move the ball than the rockets.

    Tips:
    Shoot the ball when it is about to hit the shield door.
    Walls are your friends.

    Shoot at the ball with brute shot no matter what.

    Looks like a nice map and gameplay. I think more pictures of the map and maybe some action pictures would show us the map layout as also how the map plays. I like the idea of the guy in the fence box to be kind of the score keeper, that was an interesting idea. So overall looks like a good map and you've got my download.

    Also feel free to enter this map at the contest i am hosting. Just click the picture below in my signature and then just provide the link and the author(s) of the map.
    Thanks.

    Why is the gamevarient on CTF if you can't actually get the flag for scoring purposes? Wouldn't team slayer work equally well?

    I would try to find a way to add scoring in this map, Although this map is very original and well interlocked I would make a v2

    Well, I'm glad to announce the start of v3 with a scoring system. Although it won't be started tell later tonight, due to how busy I am. Just wait for v3 and it will be out soon or later.
