9 months ago, I and a few others could not help the addiction of Halo's famous game Grifball. We played it consistantly, but soon there after Grifball seemed like it need more of a kick, and the Arena itself was to plain....

So I decided to make one for the record...an Arena focused on the fun game, but with a few new weapons

SPORTS ARENA

weapons on the map are as follows:

Sniper: 4 ( two on each side )
Plasma Grenade: 4 ( two on each side )
Spartan Laser: 1 ( center on top of bridge )

Equipment:

Custom Power up for speed: 4 ( two on each side )
Overshield: 2 ( 1 located center under each over pass )

This arena has completely changed the way you used to know grifball, for one, if you noticed the announcer box around the crane claw. It is not the typical square box, nor random upside down truck lol. If take a look at the second picture, I have a show case, it consist of the A and B sign, pointing towards opposite team sides, fusion coils, a few random weapons, crates, barrels....and the lone energy sword, in reminder of the old grifball game

the reason why I mention "OLD" is because this arena has brough on a new kind of sport, one that I find much more intense, and fun for everyone. My version of Grifball, has earned a name after myself as RAYZORBALL

forget what you knew about Grifball, for this game, there are no swords! There are now rockets, which bring out a whole new experience. Not to mention that as soon as you pick up the ball there is no overshield! You will have to go get one yourself!

Now to explain an easy step by step walkthrough that can help you understand the game better.

The focus on the map, was to make the arena smaller allowing a faster gameplay, and to confinscate the size, there is an overpass on both sides and through center allowing teams to make additional strategies on getting the ball in the goal. When you first start off, it is just like grifball, the only problem you have to worry about is that there will be rockets coming towards you so start shooting back to get the other team focused on their life

as soon as you get the ball in hand, try to get to the overshield which will be located on your right and left.

After you have accomplished this, try to make it as quickly as you can to the goal by reaching the gravity lift. Be careful, for as defense goes,

the lift can be destroyed, and you will have to wait 10 seconds for it to re-spawn....10 seconds is a long time to wait when there are rockets heading towards you during that time period

Incase this happens, you can see that there are two custom power ups that will give you 50% boost to run back and pick up another overshield or re-think a convenient strategy

as soon as you get an opportunity, make no time to waste, go for the goal
