Difficulty Map Pack
by Gunnergrunt

Description
The Difficulty Map Pack consist of four infection maps. Each individual map consists of a human room and a zombie room. These maps were built for one purpose; to bring back the feel of the original zombies game played in halo 2. Still with me? Good. Moving on. The idea of this game is to shoot the zombies before they can get through the door and infect all the humans in the room. There is only one way into the human room, so there will be constant action, trust me. Because movable objects now reset and respawn over time in halo 3, I dropped those and added permanent barriers and obstacles within in the human rooms. Each map is to be played with the Zombies game variant, linked at the bottom of the page. Each Map is named according to how difficult it will be to survive as a human. Example: "Easy" has a large respawn area. Zombies will have less of an advantage. Human will last longer. These maps are best played with large parties, although any number of players more than 5 will function well. There is no time limit to each round, but human will all die within ten minutes (approximately) because they will run out of ammo in their pistols.

Zombies
This is the game type the Difficulty Map Pack is best played with. There is one zombie, with sword, no shield. The humans get one pistol, no weapon pickup. Respawn traits, invincibility and speed increase, last for a few seconds to allow zombies to reach the door unharmed. Betrayals are permitted but booting is not an option. When a human is betrayed, he has a chance of spawning on the "betrayal shelf." From that point, he has an overview of the zombies respawn area, but he is also trapped by the constant respawn of zombies. It adds a twist to the game. Okay now on to the maps!

Legendary

Description
Obviously, Legendary is the most difficult map to survive on. This map is made of one short room (which the human spawn in) with minimal barriers and protection. The zombies' respawn area is also very small, including the additional respawn box. Humans has a very small chance of survival if they leave their starting room. Barriers have been set up, one on each side of the door, halfway into the room. This map also offers a slightly raised area of elevation at the back of the room. On Legendary, you will run out of ammo fast. And once its gone, you'll be cowering in some small corner hoping to go unnoticed! This map involves a small hint of team work. Alright enough words, picture time.

Told ya it was small (note the bridge geomerged into the red light. Shiny.)

This is how the game works. You shoot. Zombies die.

Heroic

Description
This room is just a little shorter, and more narrow than Normal. There are no barriers on ground level, although there is a place to stand above the door (awfully close to the door). At the back of the room is where you'll find the most protection, but the humans never last long. The respawn area is quite small and the betrayal shelf is even smaller. Your best bet is to kill the zombies before they even step foot into the room.

Normal

Description
This is the average, standard, and equal zombies map. It is long, wide and offers a bit more cover than the higher difficulties. Within Normal, you will find railings at the back of the room to prevent zombies from lunging from ground level. The zombies have a barrier that protrudes from the ceiling above the door to prevent immediate headshots. There is one central barricade constructed of doors. That's where you're gonna get your kills until a wave of zombies break through the door (at that point, retreat to the secondary defenses.) The betrayal shelf is the size of a double box. Zombies will have to get clever to reach you up there. Although there only a 50% chance you'll respawn there in the first place. Yep, so thats the normal zombies map.

Easy

Description
On Easy, you will find that cover is abundant and movable. Barriers, barrels, pallets, the norm (and even a propane tank for kicks). Easy is, well, just that. Humans will have very little difficulty keeping the zombies out of the room. The respawn area for the zombies is large as well. The Human have plenty of places to fall back to, as well as an overhanging fencing wall in the back to impede zombie lunges (sometimes). Overall, make sure you pick some patient, fun-loving zombies.
