ust what is a Killball you might be asking yourself, completely oblivious to the general utility of its simple, but explanatory naming convention. Turns out the nomenclature is all the description you really need to describe a Killball. They are, in fact, balls that will kill you. What else do you need to know? Okay, maybe a little bit of context is in order.
Ask and you shall receive.
Killballs are the large, spherical, orange-colored objects that can be placed in Sandbox via Forge. Once spawned, they become static objects that kill on contact. Spartan, Elite, Chopper, or Scorpion, it doesn't matter. If you head into a Killball, you die. If you're in a vehicle, it explodes and you die. If you have one dropped on your head by Shishka, King of Jerks, you die.
But those envisioning a map completely filled with orange death should temper their murderous tendencies just a touch. Killballs come in pairs. Two at a time only. Like many things in Forge, you'll have to find inventive ways to make use of them. Lavabox v2 and Sandcano are right out.
So, what could you decide to do with a Killball? Let's say you are King of Jerks. You might want to load up Forge, spawn a Killball, grab hold of it, and whiz around Sandbox with the damn thing dangling down, dealing out death to unsuspecting players who think they're just here to take some exclusive screenshots destined for the web in a few weeks. You could also laugh as everyone else tries to figure out what in the world that beautiful orange globe is the sky is as it descends upon them and sends them to wait out yet another five seconds in spawn purgatory.
Or, you might incorporate it into a map variant and gametype in an inventive and interesting way. Surprise us.
