DESPERATION

DESPERATION DESCRIPTION

Desperation is an Infection map I built, based on Sandtrap.
The main idea is that a group of survivors spawns in the "base" and has to find small bases scattered around the map for extra UNSC weapons and grenades to defend themselves against the zombies.
I made the bases using an antenna and some crates, barrels and boxes.
There are two routes which the survivors can take, one to the left and one to the right of the ruins in the middle of the map.
Basically both routes have the same amount of bases with similar weapons (although the bases are far from being symmetrical), so it doesn't really matter which route you take, it's just a matter of luck because the zombies could spawn just about anywhere on the outer rim of the map.
On the other end of the map, by the "Behemoth" Elephant, there are a Gauss Warthog, a Mongoose, some of the best weapons on the map and maybe even a Scorpion (not sure if this one is going to make it into the final version because of the balance).
Additionally, there are some brute/ covenant and forerunner weapons scattered throughout the ruins as a reward for those who dare leave the destined path from base to base.
All weapons have but one clip each and nothing on the map ever respawns so the group is forced to keep moving as more and more of them fall and turn against them...

PREDATOR DESCRIPTION

Predator works best with 8-16 people

CURRENT DEVELOPMENT STATUS AND RELEASE

Currently both Desperation and Predator are in a BETA STATE which was reached last night playing a couple of games with about 10 people (which were really fun by the way).
Time limit, health, speed and radar are subject to change, as well as the spawnpoints and weapon spawns.

Both Desperation and Predator will be hosted on my fileshare and I will post the links here as soon as the beta testing is over, which probably will be in a few days time.
