I do apologize for by bad language, but I'm French... But I tried to speak as well as I can ^^

Presentation

Hunger Games is a map went by the name of the movie which it derived.
The concept is simple : 16 players spawned in a colossal arena and have to kill each other until there's only one left.
This last one is the winner.

This map is probably the one I most liked to create and the aggressive tendency of his structure pleases me a lot.
I always dreamed to find an excuse and a game-mode would allow (and force) to walk through a large part of Forgeworld.
This is now done.

As I said it previously, there is only a single rule : kill everybody.
These 16 players are initially placed in the same area, And they make a confrontation during 25 seconds before being able to leave their bases.
The purpose is to rush in the Cornucopia to pick up a maximum of weapons and capacities, fundamental in order to survive.
So, do not expect to play a exciting and nervous game-mode. Here, stress and anxiety are in the center of the gameplay, which is moreover rather long (but rarely overtake fifteen minutes).

Sixteen players. Just one will survive.

In the Arena

You need a King of the Hill variant to play this game.

The hill is the arena. You can walk inside as much as you want. But do not try to go out it: you will die.

At the beginning of the game, sixteen players spawns arranged in circle, and on high bases to have an overview on the Cornucopia which is on the center of the circle.
A countdown of 25 seconds begins and is symbolized by a lot of explosions at the top of the Cornucopia.
If you move before the end of the countdown, a mine will be glad to explode your pretty face.
Once the countdown is ended, the carnage can begin. And there is no more rule, otherwise to be the last.

And once dead ?

If you died, you are not completely offside of the game.
Indeed, to avoid the boredom and make spend time faster when we got exploded by a other player (or by an mine (this often arrives, trust me), a zone for the "deaths" exists.
This zone is situated above the arena and dominates it. When you respawn in this zone, you activate a violent exlposion which echoes in all the arena. In this way, all players know that another player died.
You can look the progress of the game below you, or intervene by firing at the players or by indicating locations on the ground with a covenant sniper.
You impose no damage on the others players.
Otherwise, you can take the TP and go to the canyon, to have fun with a lot of vehicles.

You cannot join the arena if you died.

The map

The map can be divided into six big parts.

The first one is the zone of the horn of plenty. It is the most complet and the most complex. It composed of the horn, and multiple covers. It is situated on the joint of the beach in the island, near the Waterfall. It is there that concentrate the initial and final fights.

The first one is the zone of the Cornucopia . It is the most complet and the most complex. It composed of the horn, and multiple covers. It is situated on the joint of the beach in the island, near the Waterfall. It is there that concentrate the initial and final fights.

The second part is the rocks zone. A hilly ground where a lot of rocks are present and offer a very good battle zone. This zone is situated on the island, just next to the horn.
A small artificial lake is behind this zone, and allows to hide if need.

The third zone consists of ruins and of the river, behind the island. The ground remains very natural and little exploited. It is one of the most dangerous. If you aventure here, prepare you to be located ! But people go all the same for a precise reason : health pack which is in its extremity. At your own risk.

The fourth consists of the front of the island, with its sandbank towards the cave. Where a structure with two manual artillery allows to escape quickly, or to move more quickly. Of even, alone this structure is placed here because the ground is very interesting to exploit. A health pack is places in the middle of the ford.

The fifth part consists of the cave and the place, where you can reach the heights if you have a jet-pack. These heights offer an interesting point of view to know how to at which moment show you to attack.

And the last part is the one deaths, described in the previous iparagraph.

A camo and two power-ups are hidden on the map.
