Haloball basically is Hockey. Just play the Action Sack playlist and vote for it. You can download the map after.

Or you can search for haloball maps on here.

This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

The closest thing I can think of would be to place a number of shield-doors low to the ground with a soccer ball underneath, but I get the feeling that that would not go very well. Other than that, you don't have a lot of options. I think this should go in the Reach forum too or maybe 343s forums.

Mmm. I don't play hockey myself, but I'll dig something up.

Okay. I've got something for you. Step by step instructions on how to build your own ice hockey rink.

Step 1: Design your rink.
The toughest decision you'll have to make is how
big to build your rink. The rest is just work. Keep in
mind the shape and slope of your yard and where
you want it to be. You'll also need to decide if you're
going to use a liner and rink boards. Most of all,
remember that you'll have to maintain the ice
surface throughout the winter... and the larger the
rink you build, the more time you'll have to invest.

Step 2: Liner or No Liner.
For years people have simply dragged out the
hose, flooded the backyard and made a great little
patch of rink ice. But there are materials at your
disposal that can help you save time and keep
maintainance to a minimum. This is important
because we're not always blessed with sub-zero
temperatures. Sometimes even the best made
outdoor rink suffers from some melting. But a tarp
beneath the ice can really help save the day.
A tarp acts as an insulator between the ground and
the ice sheet.
It traps water so that it doesn't escape - and when
the temperature drops back below freezing you still
have a rink.
And it also makes spring clean up a whole lot
easier

Step Three: Rink Boards.
Do you need rink boards? Technically, no. You can
build a perfectly acceptable backyard rink without
them, but they do have some advantages. They
create a defined perimeter and help keep snow
from drifting onto the ice surface. They keep you
and your kids from chasing pucks around your
yard. And they give your rink a clean, professional
look.

Step Four: Buy Your Materials.
Before you head to your local lumber dealer use this chart as a reference and decide on how much wood
you'll need to buy. Depending on how flat your yard is, you may need additional materials to fit the slope of
the surface. And remember to buy a few extra lengths in case you need to improvise on your design.


- Chart found on this page.

Step Five: Assembly.
Clear an area larger than the size of the ice surface
you want to create.
Lay out the lumber in the approximate locations.
Connect the boards as shown. And stake the
boards into the ground to prevent movement. You
can also backfill with snow if staking is an issue.
Spread the ice rink tarp over the entire rink surface,
drape it over the top of the boards, and wrap it
around the back of the boards.
Slowly fill the rink area with water and make sure
that the tarp fits perpendicular to the bottom of the
boards.
Let the water freeze, and repeat. You'll want to
build up a smooth level surface. Take your time and
be careful to remove any snow before flooding.
The thicker your ice surface the better. The entire
flooding process should take no longer than an
hour.

Step Six: Maintenance.
Like pool ownership, rinks take constant maintenance. You'll want to routinely flood the rink to build
up the thickness and maintain a smooth, even
surface. It's best to flood your rink in the evening
when the wind has stopped and no snow is falling.
Start at one end and work slowly across the surface
creating a ripple free pool of water. If it's cold
enough it should begin to set immediately. But be
mindful not to use the ice until it's completely
frozen.


Hope this helps with your hockey map.

Now, as for hockey gametypes, it really depends on the map you have available and what you're comfortable with. Here are some hockey gametypes.

Ice Hockey
Ice Hockey is played on a rink and is much more of a contact sport than the others
Field Hockey
Field Hockey is either played on a Astroturf pitch or Grass pitch and is Non-Contact
Indoor Hockey
Is played in a gym with a ball or a ring
Roller Hockey
Roller hockey is a form of hockey played on a dry surface using skates with wheels.
Broom Hockey
Then there is broom hockey you play in boots instead of skate and sawed off brooms
Street Hockey
Can be played in concrete playground with a ball or in the streets covered with some ice and snow and with our without skates to name a few

There you go OP. :)
