Description:
Circumvention is gametype founded on a simple concept, keep away. Oddball’s description is hold the ball to earn points, but in this game more than ever, holding the ball makes you vulnerable. Teams spawn with swords in hand inside an empty arena and have one goal, hold the ball for 150 seconds. However, there is one problem, ball carrier can be killed in one swing of the sword. Other players usually require 10 hits to kill and are not worth the time, but the ball carrier is a sitting duck. Holding the ball puts you at risk, but allows you to control enemy movement like grifball, and scores your team points. Players without the ball have unlimited thruster packs and move at a slightly increased speed. The ball carrier on the other hand is a little faster, but without sprint is outpaced by players. He can use his limited thruster pack however to give him a long boost, and in a tight situation can throw the ball to a teammate to regain his buffed health traits.
Matches are generally very chaotic around the carrier and always fast paced with the ability to get across the field in a few seconds. Teams that setup passing formations are the ones that shall prevail over unorganized teams. Friends and custom groups alike rave about this game and its always that game you want to play again. I have played it 12 times in one customs group in some cases.
