Default Icy Bumper Cars



Time to create- 1 week (with testing)

Hey! It's Zachary9990 again with another installment of Bumper Cars. My first bumper car map was Three Holes on Foundry and it consisted of a large platform with 3 octagonal holes down the center of the map. Today, I bring you a entire new concept. This map is on Avalanche and has a new area to have fun just incase you fall off just a little early.


The Basics

The Idea of Bumper Cars is to get in a vehicle and knock the other person off of the ledge of the suspended platform. In this version, you must push everyone off to remove them from the hill and gain an uncontested point. If you are knocked off, then you must wait for the others to fall off, or, as I will disscuss later, go in the special area I have created.

Average Game Round Length: 1minute to 3 minutes.

Traits

On Hill.
Invinclible
25% Movement and 100% Gravity
Pistols

Off Hill.
Mortal (100% Shields)
100% Movement and Gravity
Pistols + weapon pickup

What's So Special

What's so special about this map? Well for starters it is compatable with both FFA Bumper Cars and Team Bumper Cars. So you can do a 1v1 etc. (Up to six), or a 3v3 match.

In this version there is also four Warthogs and 2 Prowlers. Surprisingly I have found this to be a very even match. The Prowler has more power than the Warthog but it more difficult to control and also tends to ramp up on other vehicles leaving them to the mercy of the person below. The Warthog is stable, but has less pushing power, but it's agility can trick a prowler off the edge.

And of course, under the glass area ( which you will see in the screenshots or the video) there is a small area where you can watch the Warthogs drive over the glass above you and wtch teh fight. Be careful though, This room is packed with explosives and a turret which can end badly if some one wants to be a martyr.
NOTE: Explosions under the galss will not disturb the vehicles on the above platform.
Things to Remember

Don't worry there really only one thing to remember. If the last two people fall off of the hill at the same time there has to be a deathmatch. In this case just kill eachother or go through the teleporter to the special room. No points will be gained for that round.

READ!!!!! I DON'T WANT TO SAY AGAIN

First: You CANNOT get back to the top unless you mangage to make a giant pile of Warthogs and climb your way to the top like a squirrel trying to get to the top of a greased pole. So, no you can't get back up.
Second: There is unfortuantly no way to prevent hijackings or assasinations. For assasinations I suggest just to try to stay in your vehicle. And to tell you the truth hijacking can kinda be fun.

No, the prowlers and Warthogs are evenly matched. I made sure of it.

Unfortuantly, the sides of Avalanche are very small. I could probably only get about 1/4 of the platform out and sometimes there might be the risk of getting suck against the invisible barrier and the platform.

The Extra Room
Look, people the extra little room was a last minute thing. The chances are that you wont even get much time in there. I just saw that I had a some empty space that I thought could use some stuff just to make the map a little cooler so please stop telling me I did'nt need it. I know that. It was mainly just for asthetics.

And without further ahdu, SCREENSHOTS.

Heres a General Overview of the Map, You can see all 6 vehicles and the glass center. Also, you can see the teleporter leading to the special room (see above).

As I have said before in my Three Holes Post, "often there is no Mercy found on the platform."


If you find yourself off the ledge, feel free to go through this little teleporter.


From the inside you can see the battle rage on...


Don't look too long though or someone may see it fit to shoot a battery...

Please download and tell me what you think.
Remember you need the Gametype too.

This thing is suspended two box heights in the air so no, you cannot go back to the top. Also the center room is below the hill so you can't score in there either. Unfortuantly though, there is no way to prevent people who see it as fun to hijack(which actually can be fun) or to assasinate you (not fun.) But still this game plays out great.

This is cool. However there is no need for all the teleporters. One will suffice and having extra will just lag your game. I like the concept. Good job and keep up the forging.

The teleporter are just an asthetic feature in the game. I think one teleporter looks kind of sloppy.

good job with the teleporter thats some fancy forgin'
the platform is very well interlocked which is more than i can say about the standoff version i play all the time
i like what you did with this map but i feel like the point of bumper cars is splattering/pushing people off the platform so they fall to their death so this map kind of takes away from that
