For those of you new to the game, Revball is Halo Reach's version of soccer. The game is 4 vs 4 with each team recieving 3 revenants and 1 ghost. Use your vehicle to shoot or ram the ball into the opposing team's goal, indicated by the colored indicator light above it that matches their team.
Players and vehicles are invulnerable and hijacking and assassinations are disabled, so stifle those slayer tendencies and keep your focus on the ball! The revenant's cannon is ideal for shooting the ball around the stadium. With skill, you can become a crack shot at scoring from a distance. Even though the name is Revball, each team recieves a single ghost. The ghost is more suited to being a striker. The best tactic is to lay low and wait for the right moment. Then pounce by boosting to ram the ball into your opponents' goal!
For returning Revball players, get ready for a brand new experience. No more stockpile scoring system with its drawn out complicated scoring and ball return. This modified version of bungie's insane gametype 'Hockey' allows INSTANT scoring and ball return, a visible indicator on the ball, no more ball disappearing after 5 minutes of play (halftime), and fireworks skulls when a goal is scored. And now, there are TWO ways to score!

Introducing 3 pointers! The small square above each regular goal is worth 3 points. The frame around each goal is called the Gravity Ring, that will suck in the ball if it touches it or nears the center of the ring in the air. This happens via 4 tin cups behind each 3 point goal. Also, the new slanted crossbar across the top of the goal allows shots to be ramped up into the 3 pointer hole. Still, don't think this will be easy. 3 pointers are NOT an every game occurance and are quite rare.
Due to 3 pointers and MUCH quicker score updating and ball return, the game has changed from 5 score to win to 10. The 10min game timer remains.
The game now scales better by number of players. If its 4 players or less, each person ALWAYS spawns in front of a revenant for even 2v2 matches. With 8 players, everyone spawns in front of a vehicle. More than 8 players, and the extras spawn in the back of the garage in front of the ramp leading to the 2-way teleporter to the field.
The following are images showing the parts of the new stadium and game.
Here is a complete game being played. For those saying the ghost sucks, watch my leet skillz.
SPECIAL THANKS goes out to xXxMENTALxXx. He is the original designer of the 3 point goal. Without his insight, the new game would not be possible!
