Tremor N' Mouse

Mastar · 10-14-2008

I was playing some customs the other day, Tremor Cliffs to be exact.. And I thought.. The funnest thing about Tremors is being the Tremor and splattering people. Then I realised that the most exciting part of Cat N' Mouse is being the mice and running away.

So... Why not combine the best of both worlds?

Tremor N' Mouse uses the infection gametype to bring a fresh and exciting twist on two classic mini games.

__________________________________________________ _

How the game works

Its Tremor vs. Mice.
At the start of the game the mice are free to frolic in the rolling meadows of their cage..

Until 20 seconds into the round, a grav lift spawns. Allowing the infected player access to the Chopper.

So at about 30 seconds in, the Tremor is in the mouse cage. His ROFL Chopper goes OM NOM NOM NOM.

The Tremor boosts into the panicking mice, exploding them in a shower of blood and fire.
Mice only have one life per round, they ain't no cats yo.

More and more mice fall victim to the Tremor's powerfull OM NOM NOMs. The Tremor gains one point from each mouse he/she eats.
Untill only one is left..
The Last Mouse Standing gains 5 points for his efforts, but death is inevitable.

______________________________________

Quick info

Tremor gains one point per Mouse kill

Last mouse standing earns 5 points

Five rounds total

Five Minute Round time limit

One life per round for the mice.

I gave the mice a 10m motion tracker, allowing them to glimpse a gigantic red blip in the lower left hand corner of their eyes and yelping OH SHI- before getting slammed.

The Tremor too, has a 10m Motion tracker, he/she can feel the vibrations of the mice as they scurry around in fear.

Tips
Tremor should not try and follow the mice around, but instead attempt to predict their route choice and cut them off with a boost mega OM NOM to the face.

Mice need to stay moving as much as possible, these Tremors are smart y'all. If the mice fall over or spin out, they're pretty much done for.

Honour Rules
Ofcourse.. there are some little rules...

Hijacking of the Tremor is prohibited and will result in the offending mouse being booted from the game. Mice and Graboids are two different species. They can't produce viable offspring.

Mice must stay in their vehicles at all times. Mice can't walk on two legs! That's crazy talk.

The Tremor is not allowed to shoot at the Mice, that's unfair. Don't play with your food ya know?

Pictures :]
(captions above the pics)

Mice walkin' on their hind legs, about to go down on all fours though, its k.

Frolicking happily together in the meadows of the cage.

Wallplant/boost

Grav lift spawns after 20 seconds

Oh, Shi- RUN!

OM NOM NOM

Vicious Vice getting dominated

I decided to spice it up a bit with a man cannon that spawns after 60 seconds.

Last Mouse Standing

Oh Shi- Oh Shi- Oh Shi-

Huge thanks to everyone that helped with testing and gave me ideas. You know who you are.

Especially Smeagle, he helped with a some geo merging and is doing the video. o/

i defidently dling, can the tremor shoot at the mice, and or are they invulernable, the back wall is sloppy, but its a minigame so it dosn't matter, i'll play and get back with more info.

I have seen these types of maps before, but none like this. This is probubly the best one I have seen. What I really like is inmovable objects in the middle. I dont remember the v1/2/3 but looking at v4 it must have been great. In my opinioin, this should be on one of the mini game pack packz that gets featured. That is great!

it sounds real fun but im just wondering if it would get to hard for the tremor after a while. i mean i remember it being hard for the zombie in bull fight after most of the humans died, with all the humans jumping around. and now the humans have mongooses to go even faster. im gonna have to download and try it out bc i hope i am wrong about that.

The tremor is not allowed to shoot the mice, although it won't kill them or damage them, it would knock them over making them easier to kill.

It works out pretty evenly, rounds usually last 1-3 minutes.
Don't worry dude, I play tested this map many times and made alot of changes to get it all working smoothly.

Its a lot of fun, this game. I hope you all download and play it!
I sure had a tremendous amount of fun on it!

Glad to see you remake a classic Mastar!

Remarkable, better than the bullpen. The mongooses add infinite possibilities.

For a new take on an old classic:

5/5 Hours of fun.

wow i really like this map it looks very well thought out the ramps and mancannons make it look even more epic. I have one question though. If the guy in the chopper shoots to kill does he get a point or does it just go by honor rules either way this game and map seem really fun im gonna dl this.

The chopper driver does 0 damage. So when he shoots it does nothing. However he can still splatter people.
