Description:

Basically this map is a house. It has four (sort of five) levels: There is the basement, the first floor, the air ducts (with vents), and the roof. The ground floor on the outside is not the same height as the first floor, so it might count as another level.

All gametypes work, but I suggest, if you don't like infection, FFA or Team Slayer and Oddball.

But the map is more than just a house, it has many unique elements that strongly diversify the gameplay.

There are many ways to get onto the roof. One is through the chimney, where a grav lift spawns by default. The grav lift cannot be blown up from the top, though, since it is blocked by a shield door. So a zombie up there cannot fall through, and if a human goes up there the zombie can still get up there. And of course it is possible to jump up there from each side of the map (its easier with more help from a teammate).
The air duct has three entrances. One is on the front of the house and one is on the back of the house (though the one in the front is easier to get into). The two entrances are separated by a crate. To get past you have to break the pallet that the crate is resting on, and the crate will fall down. Unfortunately, it is now possible to jump up into the air ducts from the inside. (It is also possible to break the pallet from the inside)
The basement has seven entrances. There is one ramp and an opening that both lead to the first floor, and two stairs that lead to the outside. There are also three windows that can be crouched through from the outside. One is on the back of the house, but it gets blocked after a certain amount of time. The other two are underneath the porch.
There in a wine cellar that can be dropped down into in the back corner of the yard. The back wall broke down, though. They patched the hole that led to the outside and they covered the hole in the roof with a crate.

Obviously you will realize that not every technique on this map is my idea. The shield door blocking the grav lift was taken from Shock Theta's map, and the passage way under the porch was taken from The Estate, which I believe was made by AZN FTW.

I realize it is possible to get outside of the map, which is why my infection gametype for the map, which can be found at the link below, give the Zombies actual weapons rather than swords.

I set this up to work for every gametype, but I feel infection is the most dynamic gametype for this map.

The Infection Gametype:
Ghosts
The premise for this gametype came about because I wanted to separate this map from all of the other maps. Plus I needed a way for the zombies to be able to blow up the grav lift.

The humans and zombies both spawn with shotguns and magnums and both are white. The humans have no waypoints over their heads, so they never know if someone is a ghost or a human. The humans also don't have radar, but the ghosts do. The final difference is that while both humans and ghosts have shields, ghosts only have 10% damage resistance. The reason I gave the ghosts shields is because the humans shields do not recharge, but they can recover health by killing the ghosts (25% shields). When I tried it without giving the ghosts shields the humans shields never came back after kills.
