i agree with Xill.. Being a big football fan, I started playing DB cos of its "Football" look and feel.. with this type of goal idea, I might as well go play bombing run

Clearly for me the best thing about the map is that THA goals are different. DB is great but unlike outfield players, pretty much every map is the same for keepers to an extent.

Outfield players for example notice a clear difference from playing tribun as opposed to playing chill etc. <--- the goals are exactly the same for keepers, maybe a change in pbox size (not sure)

Since there is a lack of keepers in DB (I'm told) this will bring in more I think, as it adds a totally new dimension to keeping.

Things that would make the map better/different

Curved backwall
Post type rim around the hole
Rounded pbox area (which goes all the way to the back wall to prevent laming)

hole camping is no problem, its your problem if you do it

That sounds real nice. However, I think a few people might disagree when they're playing on a pub with a noob camping in the hole. So yes, I think the hole will be abused by noobs and it will hurt other peoples enjoyment of the game.

Yes, I know making the hole an instant kill zone could also be used to spawn yourself on defence. I was thinking you could adjust the damage per sec of a physic volume so sitting in the hole all day won't happen. League play = doesn't matter. Pubs are a whole different story.

allowing this for league play doesnt sound good

we just let it run as 'just for fun' map

hmm, you would have to setup a tab or something for this but what about both teams get a random person spawn with the ball like after a goal (both teams always) and have the ball smacked up on "go" and of course the first of the 2 to jump and catch/hit/win the ball gets posesion? might make some good fun (even if not for this map)

sorry...but WHAT?

like basketball. for a map like this i think it would go well.

1) players spawn, one of each team next to ball
2) 3-2-1 "go" ball appears and gets hit say 400 units high
3) players are then able to move and jump for the ball / boost opponent away or something

thats all, i would say most of the time people would volley the ball so it suits the hole map alot

then both spam it into the sky and the luckyier team gets it

sure theres ways to provent that, maby on that part of the game if the teams hits it out they get a penalty or something.

anyway its an idea, something you should be happy with as we are trying to help ..or something *clubbed*

:LOL

It is just cube... with holes for goals.

Where you ripped the idea from DB-Abnormal by Zonk

Great variety in your map skills...

Abnormal > hole.

Haven't played enough yet to be able to if this is good or not.

Ahem - Abnormal has been out for months.

Great, first time I see it.

It is to be part of Australia's DB map-pack.... that was started MONTHS ago... but never fully compiled.

Abnormal had a test run on our servers and was mega fun. Complete different style to typical DB.

If going for a different style. One change (hole instead of goal) in a basic lowcube map ... doesn't really qualify as something worthy of 'Official new map' status...

If you want a completely different map style to throw in as official - team with Zonk and get abnormal finalised and made 'professional' standard.

Currently its just classy & unique..
