How To Play
Both teams will spawn on their side of the court (correspondent to color). The ball spawn will alternate between the red and blue side of the court. The aim is to throw the ball onto your opponents half; if you score, the ball will then spawn at its next spawning destination (Red or Blue side).
However, either side can intercept your throws to stop players scoring, and in return score a goal of their own, so make sure to use defense, and communicate well as a team (Team kill is enabled for any trolls who hold the ball on purpose).

To win on the original Halo Volleyball game type (Volleyball V19), you must win 2 rounds (maximum of 3 rounds, tied if teams tie 2 rounds, each round requires 25 points to win, and is 12 minutes). However you can change these settings if you like.

Little Tips & Tricks
(I write a lot, I'm sorry DX) Below are some tips and tricks for everyone to try with their friends during the game! A lot of these actions have happened when I tested this map with my gaming community and are very useful and fun! Have you played the map and come up with a new strategy? Tell me about it and I will update this section with some of the communities favorite tactics :)

Picking off an opponents shot when the ball spawns on their half can lead to a double scoring opportunity, and also let you take control of the pace of the game.
Are opponents intercepting all your shots? Try changing up your attacks; just because you have the ball, doesn't mean you have to throw the ball! Set up your teammates! However, be careful, the balls reset time is only 3 seconds and if you throw it out of bounds it will set you back a lot, so don't throw it too far or to high!
If your opponent likes to throw down the sideline, a perfectly timed hit using a gravity hammer can send the ball out of bounds! This can make your opponents waste the advantage of having the ball spawn on their side, and lets you set the pace of the game, and create great comebacks!
Blue team always starts with the ball on their side first, so make sure you get your defense ready red team! Starting the game strong makes all the difference!
When you have the ball, use the melee button to throw a fake. The animation of the melee will make enemy players think you are going to throw the ball, and you can use this to set up plays. You can also jump fake if you like!
Want to know a great shot for offence? The net shot was a shot I found to be very hard to pick when playing with friends! When thrown at the right angle, it can ricochet of the top of the net into your opponents half, or drop. The unpredictable nature of this shot makes it one of the best shots we've seen while playing!
Having 3 players back, and 2 players up front, or reverse, is a great defensive strategy.
Thrusters make all the difference on defense and offense! Use them!
If your opponent doesn't use thrusters, an aggressive block is a great way to get a quick pick! When the shooter jumps, communicate with your friends and jump in a line towards the shooter( 3 players for the best chance). If done well, you can pick the ball before the ball even starts to drop, and when done perfectly, you can pic the ball and dump it onto the other side in a split second! However be careful not to get teleported

Notes & Feedback - Please Read* UPDATED"
Notes & Feedback Section:
In this section I will cover some of the glitches that can occur, personal notes and some changes I make or will make.

Teleporters were placed over the net to make sure players would not get onto the other teams side of the field and ruin the game. However these can sometimes interfere with game play. To avoid getting teleported backwards, do not go over the top of the net (The white block). Unfortunately, there is no other way to make this work right now, so please put up with it.
Instant kill boundaries have been added to the sides of the net to avoid players crossing over to the other half, aswell as the times kill boundaries that keep players on the court, and make sure the ball spawns when it goes out of bounds. Invisible blockers uner the net and around the stands have also been added for the same reasons, and to also prevent cheating.
Sometimes an unknown glitch occurs where the ball drops onto the other side, and does not score, but is fine afterwards. I believe this may be down to the server not keeping up with the fast game play. No fixes found yet, and does not happen often.
Map was entirely re designed for a better (hopefully) look, with a wooden design and more realistic environment, and for a better game experience. However, the 'indoor stadium' idea has been cancelled for not due to light map reasons, and also lighting reasons.
Some players have been trolling and not letting go off the ball, causing annoyance to their teammates and the other team. As there is no way of preventing this like a 'hold ball for x long and it explodes' option, I have had to enable killing and team killing. This is why I advise you play this game type with people who actually want to play rather than troll for the best experience. Sadly this does mean you can kill people over the net. Some say this is more fun, but if you think it isn't you can make an agreement with friends not to kill
sometimes when the ball drops near the net, the other team can grab the ball through the invisible walls. I have no way of fixing this, unless someone knows, so I am sorry for that. Just tell people not to grab it like that if you are in a party
I have tried to make the game type so that base players can thruster 4 times so they can defend, while the carrier can only do it once, and slowly. However, it seems that the ball carrier will have the base player traits no matter what with buffs to, and you can't make them separate, meaning balancing has been hard (which is why it's on version 19). I think I have found a decent build, but if you find any errors or thinks it's unfair in some way, please tell me
Sometimes when you go to intercept the ball, it will still drop and score while you are grabbing it, even when the scoring area is as low as possible. I believe this is just because it takes a while to actually pick up the ball. This is regular, and believe me it annoys me to, but most of the time it is okay. My best advice would to jump up at the ball, as it makes the animation trigger while in air, and lets you catch it before it hits the ground. However, you can sometimes still catch vertical shots, and shots behind you when you thruster. So as I said, this is on and off, and I apologies if it causes problems - I can't do anything about it
I am aware that the lighting is kinda dark since I added the little grunt stands, I will be working on a new version with better lighting, and also rolling adverts on the court banners if I can :)
*NEW 22nd March, 1:55am* A new glitch has appeared when playing on the game type V19. This is the first time this has occurred when playing on this game type. When the round ended, and players switched side, the ball kept randomly resetting, and no matter where you threw the ball it kept going out of bounds. As I stated this is the first time this has ever happened and the reason is unknown. We have played V19 many times, and this issue has never happened. I will be running another test to ensure this was a one time glitch. For now, I have released V20, which makes the game one round only to ensure this doesn't happen to people playing right now.
*New 29th December 2016 - September 19th 2017* A serious game type glitch has occurred; whenever the ball is thrown, it instantly resets, I have not been able to test this with another player, but before I've never needed to, I am not sure if this is an update glitch, or a faulty game type, however this map cannot be complete until this bug is patched.
