Phone is on Hold Too


Phone is on Hold Too
Created by Sotha Sil156

Recommended Players: 8-16

Required Gametype: Phone is

For years, mini-games have been the vibrant life of countless custom game parties. "Phone is on Hold Too," a clear prodigy in both game design and map mechanics, will make you hang up on your mother and pick up the controller for an extended amount of time. Unique is an understated label for the map (and its name); no other gametype plays just like it. Players are on the constant move trying to evade the elusive predators who, riding on some nasty Prowlers, truly put the "splat" in "splatter."

The map itself is a colosseum of sorts. Inside, the hopeful survivors must navigate through the erected pillars that prove to be the only source of cover from the prowlers. As the game progresses, the pillar supply dwindles, and both Spartans and Elites will have to rely on outwitting the camo-infused prowler riders. Guaranteeing an immense amount of laughs through the initial awe from the innovative forging, "Phone is on Hold Too" is the ultimate Halo party starter.

I honestly found this map really boring. If you are the driver, you cant see anything and it is difficult to maneuver, and if you are human, A) there is nothing to do once you are dead but wait and B) even when you are alive it's not very entertaining.

Wow, this is random and unexpected. I always thought this was a fun game to play, but not feature-worthy... none the less, congrats Sotha. I'll go ahead and see if he's on Live now... to spread the good news.

Congrats Sotha! Although I didn't ever see this getting featured on here, it still is pretty entertaining, and it really isn't all that bad when you are dead waiting on everyone else to die...

This works well in some games, like Cat 'n' Mouse, Tremors, etc. because if you died as a human, what is there else to do if you are infected, and there is less distractions for the infected so they'll eventually go after you.

This is Sotha's first feature (Congratz, btw).

I find that this is the type map that I want to see more of in Sandbox. Creative Mini games that are really addicting. I hope to see more.

Eh... the map was good, but not something I'd want to play often. Unlike some of the better splatter games such as tremor n' mouse or valley of the beasts, it has no variation. It's just hide behind a block, go in teleporter, and rinse/repeat. Sure, it's forged well, but the idea was overdone and had little potential in the first place. It is an interesting use of the never-respawn function, though.

Overall, I was really surprised this was featured. Reading through the over-exaggerated description was worth a laugh, though.

I agree. I've played this before and it was fun but nothing exceptional. I don't think this should be featured. So many more maps are better.
