Jeff Hall Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 It would be like Grifball (like most of my ideas ) but the arena would be a basketball court, you would have a bomb plant up on a raised area. In order to get up there, there would be a player trait area that gravity would be set maybe 50% or just enough so they could make it and dunk that ball. This would be a great addition to the ball passing, you could actually play a legit game of Basketball. That's the basic layout guys! I'm sure I will refine it and tweak it once I get my hands on a copy of Halo 4 (if I'm able to pre-order it :\ ) If you liked this topic, be sure to check out my Ultimate Frisbee topic! http://www.343indust...timate-frisbee/ EDIT: I had all intentions of it being a custom game only, should have clarified. Although if it is added into Action Sack, I'd be perfectly fine with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventus Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I didn't quite understand the idea to be honest, maybe I'm just very stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Hall Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I didn't quite understand the idea to be honest, maybe I'm just very stupid. Well first you would have to watch the forge walkthrough (NO SPOILERS BELOW) It's just 343 staff (I think) explaining the unrefined version of Forge.

Ventus Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Oh, my bad! I read "baseball court". xD It makes perfect sense now, with the player trait area and all. Sounds like fun, I would like to see it in the playlists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Jester Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 that actually could be really good, love grifball and the new passing, opens doors to a whole lot more custom games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robius5991 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Huh, it would be an interesting twist on a grifball-type gametype. I guess perhaps we will be seeing something like this then? Master Chief is the Michael Jordon of Halo... and basketball apparently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flippant Sol Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 This is by far, the worst successful idea in halo history EVER....................................of all time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Dog Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 We used to play a very simplified version of this in Halo 2 on Battle Creek. I was quite fun in it's day. We used twin Needlers to mark out a half court on the sniper ramp side of Red Base and the open window to the base was the hoop. With weapon drop you could freely dribble the ball like a pro, but passing was not really possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shokyr Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 While I think implementing it into War Games might be taking it a stretch, I think it'd be a very fun gametype for Custom Games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upton889 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yes! I'll be going Blake Griffin on em'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aVeryShinySpoon Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 At the moment you don't have any option to let the ball score itself without a person holding it in the hill, which would make the gametype much more basketball than halo basketball. But you can do it another way. I manage to create a working basketball mode, but you have to count the points by yourself. Also you need players who play fair and follow the basketball rules. I will make a thread tomorrow where you can download my arena and the basketball mode. I hope that 343i will make an option to turn the selfscoring of the ball to on or off. Also i hope that basketball gets more popular because it makes a lot of fun if you play it with your friends. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delpen9 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 They should make a game like quiditch from harry potter where you have to throw the ball into different rings to score. and when the team scores the person with the least points on the opposite team automatically gets the ball.

DoctorB77 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I was playing on my map yesterday and it was actually a ton of fun. I just need to figure out why my spawns are so screwy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
