This is the first version of my map Crour Luna, I am currently working on a Version 2 so any and all feedback is welcome.

This game requires the humans to use teamwork, and a quick trigger finger to successfully outlast the zombie onslaught. If you and your teammates aren't constantly alert you will not outlast the blood wolves.

This map uses the entire main level of Sandbox (towers are blocked). Zombies and Humans begin with even numbers (50% Initial Count).

Zombies spawn out in the dunes where, due to the Gloomy effect, everything is shrouded in darkness. Zombies have to use this darkness to their advantage while they make their way to the fortress in the center. The zombies or "wolves" only have swords so they must use stealth to get them as close as possible before they can attack.

The Blood Wolf preparing for an attack

Humans spawn in the fortress and must hold off the Blood Wolves for 7 minutes. There are several strategies that can be used in the base.
One of the easiest is to man each of the four towers. Although humans start with sniper rifles, the darkness makes it difficult to get a clear shot. To partially remedy this, each tower has a flare that can be used to briefly light up a small area of the dunes, but you'll still need a keen eye to find your foes. Also throughout the base firebomb grenades and a flamethrower are available, which also can provide some light.

This tower has 3 levels; The Top, which is more open to attack but has a better view, The Middle, which is safer but with limited view, and the bottom which is enclosed and cannot see outside, but contains the Custom Powerup.

Otherside of the same tower.

Another feature of this map that adds to gameplay are the 2 weapon depots out in the heart of the darkness.

1 of 2 weapons depots found in Blood Wolves territory

Each depot contains a powerful weapon, a Rocket Laucher in one, and a Fuel Rod Cannon in the other (as well as a portable grav lift in each that can be used to get back over the fortress's wall). Combined with the infinite ammo this can prove a devastating weapon, but is it worth the risk?

There are four warthogs in the base (2 Gauss, 2 Normal) that should be taken when venturing into the Blood Wolves' terrritory.

Finally, the humans can take shelter in the bottom level of the base to try and hold out. Here, there are 4 machine gun turrets that look down each corridor, but you must beware, you may have your front and sides covered, but you are still vulnerable to an attack from above.

Machine guns in the lower level, there is a hole that drops down from above.

My friends and I have had many hours of intense gameplay on this map so far, and I hope that others will as well.
