Roblox News Halloween Paintball Now Open!

Greetings all! The first thing that will spring to mind when reading the title of this post is 'Halloween Paintball?! What is this madness?' and I don't blame you. I realise that this game has been released slightly late and that while we started it at least a week before the 31st of October, it did not reach it's deadline due to bug fixes.

The game was scripted by Zinc707 and the map was built by myself (arbirator).  The map features one main route through the centre of the map and two flank routes across a graveyard and a mandrake garden. Both of these flank routes boast plenty of cover opposed to the centre path. There are also two even wider routes you can take around the edges of the map, but beware, on both sides there are elevated positions that players can easily take advantage of and rain death down upon any foolish player to venture too wide.

Controls:

Press '1' to select your paintball gun and simply aim and click with the mouse to shoot. Use the 'Q' key to load or save any data - note you can only perform this action in-between rounds. Use the 'U' key to upgrade your weapon - every 25 kills you gain 1 upgrade point to spend on proficiencies such as paint ball velocity, accuracy, and damage.

The Modes:


Team Deathmatch 
The classic game of team warfare. Players are split up into two teams: Skeletons and Pumpkins. The objective of this game is for your team to get as many kills as possible in the 10 minute round period. The team with the most kills wins. 

Team Elimination
Similar to Team Deatmatch, you have to kill the other team members. However, when a player is killed, they are eliminated from the round, thus they will not respawn. The last standing player's team wins the round. 

Slaughterfest
Otherwise known as Free For All; players spawn at random points on the map and are tasked with killing every player in sight. There are no teams - everyone is your enemy. The player with the most points at the end of the 10 minute round period, wins.

Darkseed's Gauntlet
A devilish mode from the scheming minds of arbirator and Zinc707. At the beginning of the round, a crystal infused with the power of Darkseed is hidden somewhere in the map. Players must search for the crystal and pick it up - by touching it. The crystal will then appear on your back where you must transport it to the centre of the map: The Resting Place of Darkseed the Fallen. When the crystal is within the proximity of Darskeed, he will slowly begin to rise from the grave, coming for revenge. If the crystal carrier is killed, Darkseed will gradually lose power and descend back into his grave. If a team manages to capture Darkseed, the enemy players will be consumed by the power bestowed by Darkeed himself. The victors shall bathe in glory and valour as they watch their enemies being consumed by the flames of Darkseed. 


So, we hope you enjoy the game and it's four modes! Remember to send us any screenshots of you playing the game at robloxnewshelp@live.co.uk. Play it here.
