*Temp Banner*

Yea that's right, it's Bumper Hogs, the ultimate warthog driving challenge! Take your warthog, dive into the arena, and take down all who stand in the way!

A pretty basic arena. Cool see-through grid floor as well!

Every player starts in their own Warthog Station with their own starting Hog. If you don't have one, just step through the teleporter and you will be transported to another station where another Hog will be waiting for you.

Be sure to get a running start before you jump onto the arena, then duke it out against your opponents but...

Be sure not to be at the receiving end and you'll see yourself like this poor sap and on your way to destruction.

...

Now you might be thinking to yourself... "There's absolutely no effort done here. All he did was put a grid down. Sure the idea is cool buuut... where's the work?"

Weeeeeeeellll....

I'll admit it. As far as "spectacular" forging, it's a bit lackluster... at first. As the match progresses... Magic happens!

As you saw before, the arena starts off as a basic grid.

However, after 30 seconds...

Gravity lifts spawn in, giving you one more chance to lead your opponents to a certain demise. And these aren't just normal gravity lifts.

Find yourself driving over one of these cannons, and...

A quick death is your only reward. The grav lifts launch you into a kill zone where nothing but instant death awaits you. So if you're smart, you'll avoid at all costs.

After 60 seconds...

The arena expands, adding an outer ring for a bigger arena. The extra area will give players more room for maneuverability, increasing speed and letting players have a little bit more freedom, especially when the stage is filled with hogs.

At 90 seconds...

Four Mancannons spawn in each corner of the map, making those corners just a little bit more dangerous for those keeping on the outer ring. Four more zones open up on the outside of the ring. These new zones add some "explosive" gameplay.. and the bad pun? Weeellll....

Totally acceptable in this case. Now these zones you'd think would take away from the gameplay by preventing people from dying when they would normally fall off the cliff, but the explosions that occur can be enough to take out anyone who is close, who normally would be completely safe had it just been a standard cliff.

At 120 seconds...

Just a cosmetic change. C'mon. You know that 2nd grid looks sick. Admit it.

At 150 seconds...

A pyramid bunker appears in the center of the map, reducing mobility in that area, as well as adding some sick jumps for those stunt junkies. Just be careful because flipping out of your Warthog can lead to a ton of trouble.

And finally, and 180 seconds...

The arena is now complete, with a kill ball being added right on top of the pyramid. The corner man cannons lethality instantly rises 90% with a high probability to be launched directly into the Sun... Kill ball... whatever... lol. Mind you, the mancannons aren't instant death as there is a slight possibility of surviving, but I wouldn't exactly chance your luck by diving right in, lol.

So there's the arena. Now gameplay as you haven't been able to determine is pretty basic. Jump into your Hog and try and ram your opponents off the edge, being the last one standing. Each game lasts 20 minutes by default. Be sure to get a running start at the initial spawn so you don't fall off before the outer ring spawns in.

Winning is pretty simple. Don't die. Scoring is actually tracked in reverse. You don't win by getting the most kills, rather you win by getting the least deaths. Each time that you die you lose a point, rather than each time you get a kill you gain a point. Because of this, games will typically end with every player in the negative... BUT it's a custom game so it's all good lol. The only way to earn a point is...

To earn a splatter kill. Now, if you're like that poor fool above, you'll not only lose a point, but the one who earned the splatter will gain a point.

Well now that you've got it, try it out, and let me know what you think! Recommended number of players is 4 at least, but it can be played with less. It just won't be nearly as chaotic, lol.
