This mini game is designed for 16 players for an optimal game, but can be played with any number of players. It is a map and gametype that I made for those who wish to play Baseball in Halo 4. It features a dug-out, a pitcher's mound, three(3) bases and a home base as well as base lines.

 

Because the maximum player limit in Halo 4 is 8 vs 8, there is no catcher unless the fielding team is up to the challenge of losing a fielder.

 

There were many issues discovered when play testing this mini game such as the difficulty to hit the ball with the "bat"(gravity hammer) because of the automatic pickup of the oddball. To counter this, I have turned automatic pickup OFF. Although this puts fielders at a slight disadvantage. I did try trait zones, but they do not allow to change automatic pickup as it is a gametype setting rather than a player trait.

 

This map is made on "Ravine" and because the area to play in is quite small, I have added what I call the "Homerun Line", which is basically a line that surrounds the walls around the field at about the halfway point. In MY ruleset, if the oddball hits the wall above this point, it is instantly a Homerun. As this is not part of the actual game, you can change this as you please.

 

The red team spawns in the fielding positions while the blue team spawns in the dug-out. There are nine(9) innings (rounds), each lasting twelve(12) minutes. This gives enough time for five(5) minutes as fielders/batters and two(2) minutes to switch sides.

 

Thanks to everyone at THFE for teaching me the best forge tips out there.

 

Any feedback(bug fixes and ideas for future maps) is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank You!
