Ever wondered why Bungie put the soccer ball in foundry but there was no way to play a game with a scoring system unless you used an oracle as a referee who counted each goal?
Me and xll cyraxl lx are proud to present the first ever soccer pitch with a scoring system using a unique instant pick up and arm technique in the red team and blue teams goals.
How the game works:
The catch to this system is way the goals were uniquely designed and built by myself, the only way to score a point and end that round is to first have scored a goal with the soccer ball in the goal the opposing team is defending, you then crouch through the opening in the goal, jump up and arm the bomb, if you try it without first scoring a goal with the soccer ball you will fall to your death through two sender nodes (the ball blocks the sender nodes).
The design of the soccer arena is in an enclosed dome shape designed by xllcyraxllx where it is impossible to get out while playing the game, the ball also cannot leave the arena. There is also a set of shield walls around the middle of the dome to make the ball bounce allot more when hitting one to make the game more interesting and tactical. We have even made it so if you hit the ball perfectly and the opponent doesn’t see it coming you can splatter them with the soccer ball, I personally have done it twice in the test play games and it’s a good laugh :whatever:
EDIT: *IMPORTANT* YOU NEED THE GAME VARIANT
In order for this game to work properly you must also download the game type we created specifically for this game called Hammerball, this can be found on either omg itz blaze (that’s me) or xll cyrax llx's fileshares,
click here. Slot two of my fileshare...
The game is a 3 vs 3 fast paced round gametype in which each team battles to score in the opposing teams goal, each round lasts two minutes and it is best out of 5 rounds. You have normal life but are faster than usual if you are either one of the strikers, if you spawn as the goalkeeper you will turn white and a way point will be placed over your head. The goalkeepers have less life and are slower however they can jump higher and are more powerful. The primary weapon is off course a gravity hammer with unlimited charge.
Rules of the game:
1. A team can only score an arming by first scoring a goal. (As I have mentioned before it is impossible to arm the bomb without scoring anyway, otherwise it wouldn't be soccer now would it?
)
2. If a goal hasn’t been scored by the first minute and a half and the bomb armed within the two minute round, the remaining 30 seconds is a sudden death scenario in which the goalkeeper has no power up so there are 3 strikers.
3. This game only supports a maximum of 3 vs. 3 and works best that way, although head to head and 2 vs. 2 also works, we have play tested with 4 and think it’s too much, though feel free to try it.
4. Once a goal has been scored, that team will be able to get into the scoring zone and score, however if the opposing team plays a good defence the ball will reset to the middle after about 1 minute or so (note, this is hard to do, you have to be good with that grav hammer ;-), Basically you only have a limited amount of time to arm and score a goal once you score a goal.
5. Have fun and enjoy! Killionaires are allowed lol ^_^
Screenshots: Actual Gameplay Blue Goal/Base (Edit: yes we noticed the wall on the ramp and fixed that, it’s an older screenshot of the play tests )
Red Goal/Base Scoring a Goal/Arm Round over Goalkeeper Scoring FTW! Outside of the dome, Just to get an idea of the sheer scale of the dome, and how the interlocking glitch worked.
All Screenshots
P.S To all you English folks out there don’t be alarmed that we called this soccer, I myself am aware we call this football being English myself, but to appeal to the wider Xbox live community we have Been using the term soccer as it was what the ball was called by Bungie in foundry’s item list.
As a final note this took us approximately 4 days to make bar the time we were sleeping , etc, so we hope you appreciate this and get allot of enjoyment out of it, We hope we have inspired people with this map but please do not try to copy the idea, not only is it a breach of Bungies copyright System but we have the variants dated and copyrighted to that date. For anyone who doesn't understand how the dome was made, it's the halo 3 forge interlocking glitch. We used this to make it all tidy and have a clean playing surface for the ball to bounce on. The goal system also required it; you'll see what we mean when you download it.
We will be putting a sample game play video on YouTube soon too... , until then if you want to see how the game plays, a preview film clip of a 2 vs. 2 round can be located on slot 3
here on my fileshare. Play close attention to the beginning if you do, such a lucky shot, and it splattered him too lol

FAQ
1. Question:
I’ve seen a scoring system before, how is this different?
Answer: It is true other people have made maps with scoring systems, but none have been made where you have to score a goal with the soccer ball to arm the bomb or score a goal by any other means that is round based and get an actual score of 1-0 etc for scoring it. For Example this creation:
Soccer Arena, it's a good creation but people can cheat. The soccer pitch we have made is cheat free...
