New Xball layout released

[edweird]

Well the news is out. You can find it HERE on FoN (http://www.forceofnature.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=719&mode=nested&order=0&thold=0)

What do you all think?

Personally I think the new "woodsy" centerpeice will be fun to play and a critical element in the early game.

definitely cool. the center 50 is going to be incredibly easy to get to i think

Interesting. I think the little bunkers that make an X (as viewed from overhead) would be totally useless. Still a pretty cool layout though.

Actually if they work the way I think, they will add a very exciting element... While you can't hide behind one, using multiple acts as a moving bunker.

I played in a alt format tournament last year, where the field was nothing but 1'x1' bunkers which were taller than us. Using one was useless, but at angles created walls. Very fast and high movement game.

no, they are actually going to be extremely usefull. if you run behind those to the 50, it's going to be MUCH harder for a back player to sneak a ball thru that maze of bunkers and hit you.. chances are it will hit one of those little "sticks"

Yeah, as stated, They're probably not used as "one" bunker, rather as a series of obstacles to shoot through (or not be able to). Also, as strider stated, which seems really cool, at the right angle these things will literally be a wall. Cool I think!

This design will be very interesting. Not many people played in the tall skinny bunkers. Gonna be cool going for the 50.

They impoved on the layout greatly. Looks like they expanded the field?


The center 50 is prolly gonna see alot of good action this year

[Kevmaster]

Im a fan...cant wait for WC

this is going to add alot more action at the 50, and the whoel wall concept is going to make a the game a tad more cerebrial, trying to figure out how to get the right angle.

I really do think the little pillars will add a really interesting aspect to the game

[FreakBaller12]
