Subject: The Newest Sport to Halo3...Tennis!!! Only 1 Honor Rule!(includes p...

Bullseye80

Hello everybody! Th3 51AY3R and myself have created the ultimate tennis court of halo3. This is an original idea for we have found no other forums who have attempted making this court. The whole process of making this tennis court took about 6-7 hours. The amazing thing about this game is that it only has 1 honor rule! Normally a sport like tennis would have a lot of rules you would have to follow that aren't associated with the actual halo 3 game but we've modified this to allow amazingly fun play without having to worry about rules that don't normally apply to halo3. The only rule there really is is no hitting the ball when it's going into the scoring mechanism. (pictures of this below) This isn't really an honor rule, more just common sense but no going on the other side of the net! Those are the only rules that apply to this game.

Now about the court. We spent hours testing, and thinking of ways you can score. What we finally came up with was this: At the very back of the court on both sides, there are bridges that lead down to a cannon man which shoots the 'tennis ball' into a hole. Here is a picture of the ramps, cannon man, and holes. You probably saw the teleporter in that picture. This teleporter is to insure there is no cheating in the game. When you score, the ball will be pushed into the whole allowing you to cross into the single box. In the single box there is a bomb you must pick up. As soon as you pick it up, it will be armed and you score a point! That's only if you also got the soccer ball into the hole. If you do so choose to try and score, you WILL be shot into the teleporter and this will be your fate!.

So there's the scoring mechanism. Here are some tips for playing: Use teamwork!!! The more gravity hammers hitting the ball the better your chances are of hitting it over the net and scoring. Next: Get close to the ball before you hit it. That wil help lift the ball up and over the net. The closer you get the higher and farther the ball will go. The third tip is to aim towards the bottom of the ball, this gives it more left to get over the net. The fourth and final tip is to have a great time!

The map is meant for 8v8 but works well with any number of even teams. It is indoor for the tennis ball would go flying out of the court and we wouldn't want that. The ball starts in the middle above the ground and you try to hit it to the opposite side of the court. Here is an overview of the outside of the court: Outside Overview Here is the inside overview of the court: Inside Overview.

This is one of the most well crafted sports courts I've ever seen, please give it a shot! REMEMBER!!! This is totally original and if there is another tennis court out there I've never seen it.

Without the gametype, this court is nothing so here is the link! Tennis Game Variant

PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!!
Leave your comments, thoughts, and ratings on this map. I really do feel this map has potential to become a very popular sport! Thank you for your time! By the way, when the ball goes into the scoring mechanism you have to go on the other side and plant the bomb!

Hang on... if you hit the ball into your enemies side, and score... then you have to go over to their side to actually score the point? =S

isn't this more like volleyball?

  • 04.19.2008 9:03 PM PST

Bullseye80

wow thanks for all your comments....almost 100 downloads in less than 2 hours. and volleyball and tennis. yes there's a huge difference. In volleyball the ball isn't allowed to touch the ground and the net is above the ground. In tennis the ball can bounce and the net is on the ground. Plus in halo how much difference is there gonna be?

Wow ben i never thought that our tennis map would become so popular so fast! we must have done amazing.

  • 04.20.2008 6:51 AM PST

this is neatly put together! but im still confused, say you do hit it over the net, what are the odds of it going into the scoring thing, is it if it hits the ground you walk over and put it in yourself? please answer (Cant waste my 100 m8)

  • 04.20.2008 7:02 AM PST

this is an awesome map! i didn't think tennis was playable in Halo3. so now there's tennis, soccer, basketball, football, and racing that are sports on Halo3.

Yes Carloapp12, when the ball goes into the scoring mechanism you have to hop over the net and go plant the bomb. It's really a short simple task so it doesn't take much away from the game. It just insures that you DID score and your not scoring without actually getting the ball into the mechanism.

Hey again! My friends and I played it last night but I went to bed right after that so didn't have time to post. Everything about this map is frikken amazing. The scoring place is genuis, I don't know how you thought of that. The map is also very neatly put together and everything goes together. My friends and I thought it was really really fun so there's my review of the map. 5/5 good job!
