REVBALL 3.0 is here!!!

Wed May 18, 2011 11:18 am

Welcome to Revball 3.0! The forgehub favorite who was featured on bungie frontpage returns....now better than ever!

Image

Current Gametype: Revball (Updated 05/17/11)
Current Map: The Splatterdome 3.0 (Updated 05/17/11)

Alternate Maps:
3.0b - 1 wraith 1 ghost 2 revenants
3.0c - 1 wraith 3 revenants

Image

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!

Image

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!

[bungievid]17799248[/bungievid]

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. :P



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!

Need a list of sites to post this on. Someone will have to copy/paste on halocharts for me. What is the midworld place i hear about? Also, is anyone a halotracks member? I cant register on their damn forum because of their anti-bot register process.

Sites so far:
1) Forgehub
2) H3WM
3) Legend Zero
4) Bungie
5) Outcast Reborn
6) RnR
7) Youtube

I'm thinking future versions will be 3v3 revenants standard. Then have a garage with large variety of vehicles for 7-16 ppl for shits n giggles. If only 6 players are in game, garage never used and has no effect on regulation play. 6 players/vehicles spawn inside the goals (which have aesthetic overhaul) and just drive thru one way shield to the field. After 15 seconds, teleporters spawn inside goal to stop campers there.

You should put up a video of a game with the wraith and 3 revanants. i wouldnt mind watching that and seeing what its like. I mean it looks fun with the ghost and all but a wraith goally would be epic and a ton of fun, and even more since the wraiths mortor takes a few seconds to actually hit the ground when its fired from a large distance
