Map Description:
Pro Basketball has been designed as a basketball court for 2 to 8 players (1v1 to 4v4). It began as a simple rectangle shape with grav lifts to reach the scoring points but over multiple revisions it has evolved into a fun strategic map and gametype. The grav lifts have been replaced with custom power-ups that reduce your gravity, allowing you to jump that bit higher and allow you to perform fantastic slam dunks. Countless hours of Forging and testing has gone into this court to get it to look and feel just like I wanted.

General Rules:
This map works best with the Pro Basketball Gametype
The gametype has been set to last for 2x 3 minute rounds with a 15 second sudden death rule.
Players move at 90% speed and are invincible. Players can only be killed by assassination (Beat down from behind). The bomb carriers speed is reduced to 75% and he also loses his invincibility trait (He can be beat down from any side). This encourages the bomb carrier to dribble the bomb/ball like basketball. There is no spoken rules attached with this map/game variant like other basketball games out there. Simply pick up the bomb and score with a slam dunk!!
Recommended number of players
Pro Basketball is most enjoyable with 2 to 6 players (1v1 to 3v3). The map will play okay with 8 players (4v4 )but adding any more it can become impossible to score. It is highly recommended to have equal sided teams to get the most out of the game type!
No weapons on map:
With my testers we tried differen't weapons on the map and differen't starting weapons. A lot of feedback led to my decision to remove all weapons/grenades and spawn players with a Plasma Pistol (Infinite Ammo). The decision to remove weapons/grenades encourages players to block attacking players and pass the bomb/ball more often.
