Lobby Lounge

Do you ever find yourself bored waiting for your friend to finish his match? Do your buddies and you ever have to sit in the lobby waiting for more people to join with nothing to do? Is 1 vs. 1 on MLG Guardian getting old to burn time on? Well, I have your answer in the form of a map, Lobby Lounge.

Lobby Lounge is a map on Sandbox that utilizes all levels of the map. Within Lobby Lounge are multiple minigames. Instead of a map dedicated to only Duck Hunt, Demo Derby, or Paintball, this map has them all (almost ;) ). Minigames included: Target Practice, Duck Hunt, Golf, Paintball, Tremors, Demo Derby, Skull Steal, and UnbeatablCours.5.

Target Practice: This is a minigame to brush up your shooting and grenade skills on. Fusion Coils fall, fling, and fly through the air, dodging your shots. Pallets are suspended in air awaiting to be hit by a grenade. All grenades are available, but Spike Grenades are the best to test your aim with because they stick to the Pallets. The weapons available are: Battle Rifle, Carbine, Rocket Launcher, Magnum, Brute Shot, Spartan Laser, and you spawn with a sniper. You get unlimited ammo, and everything instantly respawns. There is a Mongoose to drive back and fourth on the raised platform on. While your buddy drives, you can try to get some skillful no-scopes, or some amazing lasers. Want to go even more extreme? Use a Gravity Lift for mid air shots, drive beneath the shooting Fusion Coils, or fly along side the explosives on the Man-Cannons.

This gametype is fun for 1-16 players. It is a good one to play by yourself, or drive around on with a friend. I found myself having the most fun driving on the bottom going off of the Man-Cannons, all while shooting Fusion Coils with my Sniper!

Duck Hunt: This seems to be a fan favorite for custom gamers. The object is simple: Get from point A to point B without getting killed by the Hunter. The Hunter is invincible, instant kills, uses a sniper, and has high gravity (so he can't escape). These traits are given to him when he jumps into the Custom Powerup. The Ducks must go through the teleporter at the top (behind the Warthogs) to get into the starting position. Using cover, skill, and a few Deployable Covers, the Ducks must make it to the end, and defeat the Hunter. When a Duck makes it to the end, it gets a custom powerup so it can't die, and a Rocket Launcher. To defeat the Hunter, ducks must shoot him with the Rocket Launcher, making him fall to his death!

This Duck Hunt is rather short, but still fun. It is designed to work in a 1 vs. 1 situation, or more if the sniper is good. Use a Plasma Pistol to mix things up if you want!

Paintball: Paintball takes place in a arena with various cover. The arena is the "Hill" in the gametype that goes with this map. The traits you get while inside are: Limited ammo, 150% speed, instant kill, and no radar. When participating in this game, use only Plasma Pistols.

Paintball works fantastic for 2-16 players. The action is fast and taking cover is essential. There is also a key Bubble Shield in the middle for instant defense.

I have you now!

Golf: The object of Golf is to get the ball into the cup in as few of shots as possible, while evoiding the obstacles. Unfortunately, Golf Clubs refused to cooperate on this map, so Gravity Hammers had to be used. My record is 3 strokes, can you beat it? This minigame works with 1-2 players, and includes a complimentary golf cart!

Hole in ~~three~~ one!

Tremors: The object of Tremors is to go from one Flare to another, without getting splattered. One person drives the Ghost and tries to splatter the jumpers, no shooting (Same goes for the jumpers!)! The jumpers have to jump on objects and fake out the ghost to get from Flare to Flare. Jumpers are safe on objects and luckily cannot get splattered by the Ghost. Flares can also be used to confuse the Ghost.

This minigame works with 2-16 players. There is a second Ghost if there are too many people. This game can be very hard or almost easy, depending on how good of a jumper and faker you are. There are also two sets of two-way teleporters to help jumpers fake out the Ghosts. See how many time you can get back and forth without dieing!

I choose you Flare!

Uh oh....

UnbeatablCours.5: This medium length jump course is the prequel to my UnbeatablCours obstacle course series. It may not be as long or as difficult as its parents, but it is still fun. You must do regular, equipment, Man-Cannon, and slide jumps to become victorious and win a luxurious Hornet. I don't want to give anything away, but I would rate this course a 7/10 in terms of difficulty, with 10 be the hardest course ever, and 1 being the easiest course ever. Sometimes if you mess up, you have to start all over again, so be careful!

Note: No outside weapons, equiptment, or vehicles are needed, other then what you spawn with.
