Catapult!
Created by HomerSPC/Jackis25


Map Description
Catapult started out in foundry, throwing energy drains at each other. Learning how many people wanted to join us, we decided to make this map.

Catapult! takes place on the cliff side of the right base on Avalanche. The object is to score the most points (I was unable to make an official setting, because people kept doing whatever to win <.<).

Scoring:
In the range of play (kinda shaped like a shotput/javelin field) there are 4 score signs. You must PASS the sign or HIT the sign to score the points.
Ex. Pass the 50 point marker, you gain 50 points, not both 10 and 50.

Also, as a little bonus to those that know how to make a perfect landing we added a bonus. If you land on your wheels you gain an extra:
Infront of 10 - 10 Pt bonus
Behind 10 - 20 Pt bonus
Behind 50 - 30 Pt bonus
Behind 100 - 40 Pt bonus
Behind "U ARE GOD" - 50 Pt Bonus

Yes, thats right, there is a score named "U ARE GOD." How much is it worth? Ask your launcher. "U ARE GOD", or Godlike as we refer to it, is worth 1000 points, but you won't get 1000 points. You get points taken OFF for how many power drains it took you to reach the marker. Every power drain thrown equals to -100 on ONLY the Goldlike marker.

And, just a heads up. You can only score points if you do NOT die when you land, this makes it even harder to get Godlike.

Gameplay:
Everyone starts in a small box room in the back of the launching platform. You decide a laucher for each round before the game to make confusion a whole less that it would be.

The first 'Launchee' will walk to his Warthog, and wait for the launcher to launch him. the Launcher makes sure the launchee hasn't picked up a power drain (for reasons you will understand when you play) and throw the drains at the warthog's back wheels. The more: the more power, but a bigger chance of dieing.

When launched, the next launchee will take his position in either a mongoose or another Warthog (I suggest Warthog, it's easier to launch), and the launcher will fire another one until everyone has went, then one of the launchees will launch the launcher.

_________________________________________________

The field of play, notice the lights marking the next marker. Also, please note the barriers on the side of the field of play, it marks foul and fair like in baseball.


The launcher itself, garages underneath the box room, and the lights on top.


The launching platform. Only launcher and launchee is allowed on. All oters waiting says inside the room.


Being launched


Epic Fail. Score: 0 points. (notice the two powerups in the background. those are the records of how far a Warthog (red) and Mongoose (blue) went. If you beat if, put it in your fileshare and message HomerSPC on XBL, you will get a cookie and make us edit the map a slight bit.


"U ARE GOD"

yes, I know alot of this is confusing, but it is really fun once you get the hang of it. Please download, rate, and give any C/C to make it work better. And, I will give major rep to anyone that could figure out a simple scoring system that Halo 3 could score with and people could not cheat from.

Hey Scarfaced. Anyways this map is tight. I like this idea, very original. Reminds me of the minigames we'd play in school on the computer when the teacher wasn't looking, 5/5.

[DxHydra]

can you post a vid or something because i dont get how it launches you?

It was made because we were bored a couple of days ago and started throwing energy drains at each other, though now that I think about it It makes me think of Kitten cannon.

Well, its not that hard, and since my Bungie Pro ran out I'm kinda low on space.

You basically throw power drains under the back wheels of the vehicle you wish to launch. Not that difficult to understand.

After a certain amount of time (20 seconds?) the power drain explodes. Adding multiple powerdrains makes a bigger explosion, resulting in more power emenating from the blast - equaling in a powerful push to the vehicle's back, pushing it forewards.

there is actaully a lot of science involved in this mini-game lol

[Aranore]

its warthog jumping with power drainers. the built up explosions causes the warthog to fly. by means of force executing energy. ask bungie to further explain the physics if you so need to know.

if you mod the variant and make you invincible, plus have power ups set to instant repsawn you get crazy effects xD

what if i made if go out of level limits to the point of my 360 freezing O_O 15 power drainers till boom/ no vid but ill try again with a cam corder next time lol.

all in all i liked this. well done.

Can you please make more sense of this/ Really, I have gone through this thread several times and it is not clear or concise at all.
