DB-Zodiac

A friend of mine, Monkeybone put together this highly original map that I think, is a lot of fun.
Take a look at these screenshots:

Looks like a simple cube map right? Wrong. Like a normal cube map, the ball can bounce off the walls. Now comes the rather exquisite twist. In THIS cube map, players go right through them. That's right, the ball can be shot against the wall of lasers, but you can easily knock opponents right through them, usually leaving them to plummet to their deaths.

You also may have noticed that hoop sitting high above the field. Whenever the ball is shot into it, low gravity is switched on for a short time.

This is a big change from the tired old gameplay of DB-Cube, and makes for mad games. This is most certainly a good thing in my honest opinion. Download the map, and see for yourselves.

Those lasers can be sooooo abused

This map isn't really ideal for a serious game, but it's excellent if you're out to have fun.
I got to beta test this map with some other people, and it was pure madness. :p

I love it $\o/$

It's simplistic and nothing really bothers u or the ball.
I like the low-grav idea, and deadly walls (altho discussed before) have finally made its entry into a nice db map (afaik).

Me likey =D Get this on servers ^_^ (is this final version btw?

if not, try making the ball be able to enter again from the outside :p)

I tried downloading it but, I get a corrupt file warning from winrar.

I just tested it, and I don't.

In response to Messy's question:
Monkeybone said that this was his final release, but me might make a Zodiac2 when UT2k4 comes out.

penzone lines should be non-solid (annoying if ball hits it and gets deflected)

Maybe Monkeybone can, but chances are that he'd rather not. Admittedly, I haven't much time to do any mapping for DB, as I'm doing as much as I can for the mod I'm working on.
