Author Topic: Pong tag [v4] [BACK UP]  (Read 1960 times)



A TDM, with some pong.

Pong tag is a TDM with an objective, get the most points before the time ends.
How to get points? Either shoot people with the Pong Gun, or Pong Turret or use the Pong Grenade, which shoots out lots of pong, and 1 kill = 1 point, or capture the middle plate, one capture = 10 points.

What is the Pong gun, Pong Grenade and Pong Turret?
The pong gun is a gun that shoots Pong, if you're on the red team, it shoots Red pongs, if you're on the blue team, it shoots blue pongs.
The pong turret cannot move, and respawns in a minute, instaid of the normal 5 seconds.
However, it shoots very fast, and shoots 2 pongs at once.
The pong grenade is a grenade that explodes, sending lots of pong around the map.

Overview of the map

When a team captures the middle point, everything that was white, turns to the teams color.
Here's an example of the Blues taking over the point.

Post your videos in the topic and I'l add them

When is it up?
I try to host as much as I can, but for most people living in the USA or countries using a similar timezone, you may not be able to come due to school times.
Should be able to join on weekends though.

Server is hosted in the UK
Frequently asked questions
Q:Why is it so dark?
Q:Why is there so much particles/emitters?

A: This is meant to make the gameplay a little more challenging, by not seeing the player as much as you usually can in most DM's.

Q:Why is the map small?

A:Because we didn't make it big.
   We are taking requests for new maps, if anyone wants to make any.

VersionHistory

Before pong tag was made, it was named Laser Tag. There was a forum topic made for this server but I have no idea where it is now. Then I made the pong gun, and it changed to Pong wars, and then changed to Pong Tag when the turrets were added.
I'm only going to list the version history for the Pong wars and pong tag.

V1    Pong gun created, map created.
V1.5 Map improved
V2    Map improved, Pong Turret created (never hosted)
V3    Changed sounds, added music.
9/1/14
V4    Added pong grenade, general map improvements
9/6/14

Make sure to download sounds and music when you join.
