4-8 Players

The beginning is an exhilarating map variant with the classic, "Defend the base" layout. Zombies emerge from a maze-like battle field and reek havoc on HQ defenses! You will need to man the turrets and gear up to hold them off, but for how long? The base is equipped with a minor arsenal of weaponry to keep you alive for as long as you can (Not overstocked!), three stories, an escape shoot, a sniper post, a barricaded doorway, and a lower bunker. You will always have a backup plan when theres a security breach! The Beginning is best played with the "Invaders" game variant, but feel free to play around with the settings, and let me know if you think you've got a variant that shows more potential on this map.
Leave feedback! (Sorry for the lack of interlocking. I was disappointed myself. I made this before interlocking was a well-known method. Despite this, I guarantee you great gameplay.)
