Remake of B-Ball Swat, a halo basket ball game (re-make of an older game I made). Unfortunately there is no dribbling, as assault does not allow auto-pickup. Dropping the ball is Double Dribbling.

Picture: Place to go to score the point. Don't be fooled by the indicators, as this leads you under the map to score.

Video: Video of "http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=102638641 "--Full round to score. It's quick to score, if there are no obstacles like spartans or elites around.

Features:

1. Bomb blows up under feet/map, while you look through window after it is planted.
2. Ball spawns in corridor making it easy to get, hard to get out.
3. It uses areas outside the normal map for better gameplay.
4. Quick game-play with two rounds. Game to 10 points.
5. Secrete required to obtain the ban-hammer on the floating box. Hint, must dunk to get the ball by using Gold teleporters to the left and to the right.

It is symmetrical until Bungie allows multi-player assault. Other nice feature would be an overtime round if the game is tied. One point wins. Auto-pickup is needed for dribbling. 2 vs 2 vs 2 would make things interesting as well, as it is a one court/one hoop game.

Setup for 3 teams, even if only 2 allowed to play. It is best played 2 players a team (2 vs 2, or more). 1 vs 1 doesn't make a good game, as weapons are long range and one player has to hold the ball.

B-ball Swat Game Type "Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details ", as it is the most fun assault setup where the person with the ball turns black for an added playing ability. You jump higher and have better shields (or you could just be the same as everyone else).

B-ball Swat "http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=102637274" , which is the much needed map.

Here's the bomb blowing up under your feet, looking through the floor (though it is dark. On xbox360 this is much lighter):

Here is just before that, planting the bomb:

You can notice the antenna and the box holding the teleporter. If you go through the side teleporters of Gold (first picture here), it dunks you instead of tossing the ball, leaving you in the ring. If the ball blows up, and you aren't quick enough to climb the antenna, you do too.

Hint: The teleporter holding the antenna is a secrete. It uses the teleporters under each box to teleport you above one of them. It is random which one, so it may take several tries to get to the floating box in the center.

This is the reward for making it up the antenna to safety, just in the nick of time. It's easy to do, but with the pressure of gameplay, may prove challenging.

And last, but not least, here is my way to allow the longest route to get from the bottom to the ball, but still have plenty of options of which way to get there.

The biggest weakness of this map would have to be how easy it is to score once you get the ball out of the long corridor (where sword is defaultly). But hopefully it will be challenging enough that that won't be an issue. If it is, you may try removing both side teleporters, as that would make any attempt in using Gold lift, while it is protected, useless.

Hopefully Fun,

p.s. I consider this game a 'long-range attacking' alternative to Grifball.

And I would like to thank Arazra and Phenomenal for helping me with setting this post up. I didn't realize how advanced copy/paste from bungie forms was, and that using imageshack was allowed/recommended way of showing screen shots.
