Sorry to go off topic, but this is what was being discussed, so I added it in.

ISD™ from one side - what you see when you are playing


My uber-sweet Haloramic (you must full view this to see it) - this is a perspective from center court, so to speak...

you can also make the players inside the hill health decay.

Kind of like a constant Power Drainer...

Make sure to turn off 'nades for that, otherwise you will have people spam 'nades and get kills left and right. Those in the hill wouldn't have a fighting chance.

What about the opposite? Anyone in the hill is either stronger or invulnerable (hamster crack style).

I actually tried something like this for my GoW style gametype, but something else didn't work out well..so I gave up on it. But yeah that would be a great idea for slayer.

I've never played Gears, so I don't know how that game works for multiplayer. Could you please elaborate?

Actually now that I can see a picture of it that is a great idea. I know this is the wrong thread, but I'm gonna go download that.

I don't see why not, but you will have to use one edge of the map because only one hill will be active at a time.

Use one hill, active at all times.

great idea, it makes sense too, but like other people say , how can i work around to get it to ctf?

Just another little idea to add as a penalty for players outside of the map, reduce their speed by loads when outside of the hill, and put a teleporter very far away from the map so they are stuck out there for a while.

awesome idea, this will save me from a ton of people getting out of my maps.
