ball_half_court

We had so much fun playing this one last night, I finally decided to finish it. I had never really played it enough to tell if it was done before.

This is a single screen map where the goal is shared for both teams. The strategy is to advance the ball towards the goal, but while being careful not to turn it over so close that the other team gets an easy score. Some players need to control the ball on the far side, while others work to clear the path in for the score.

The goal now has a thin red wall which does heavy damage on collision to keep people from sitting in the goal.

Great map biell. I just tested it with the new damaging goal and I think it defiantly helps. The only thing is, now the games are even shorter because there is no camping. I really think the goal should be smaller. If you cannot actually shrink the goal, just sink the goal into the wall and put a section of wall in front of it to essentially make the goal smaller. Either way, it is a lot of fun

Oops, I forgot about shrinking the goal. I shrunk the goal as much as I could while still allowing whales to dunk.

I do enjoy playing this map very much.
The games are fast and every goal seems to be full of laughs.

I'm inspired to make one of my own that's a little longer with a bit of terrain, but this one will always be a classic. I like the changes you made/

Yea, super fun map! Would be fun to have this on ladder maps rotation, like once every 70 games but i guess ladder nerds would rage quit

I added a script to Team+ to make it so you now have to take the ball out after change of possession. This is all thanks to LewisH's (aka xal, x.x) server patches. If you intercept the ball, all players are despawned. The player who intercepted the ball is spawned right next to the ball on the far right side. All other players spawn as normal.

This was a much requested feature for this map, and thanks to LewisH's hard work, it is now a reality.
