Killing Grounds is a fictional story-based map that I came up with while my internet was down a few months ago. It thrives on teamwork, and communication. Without teamwork, your team will most likely fail before reaching the first destination. Without communication, your team will most likely get killed repeatedly by either the aliens or the VIP team. Killing Grounds lasts about 3 minutes on average, but takes 5 minutes to reach the end. The only reason I say that it lasts about 3 minutes on average is because most teams aren't hardcore enough to reach the end. Killing Grounds is layered with exploding vehicles, abandoned homes, and even ammo dumps. Some weapons are hidden, and some are out in the open left there by fallen military personnel. Killing Grounds is huge, and is located outside the ground level of Sandbox with only a fraction of the tower's blocked.

I highly suggest you skip down to the section labeled "Strategy" if you plan on reaching the end of Killing Grounds. This is a lot harder than it looks... Not a single team has reached the end of Killing Grounds. The images showing a team reaching the end are of the first version. Not a single team has reached the end of this version.

Camp grounds usually tend to be full of pitched tents, blazing fires, and happy families. But not Killing Grounds... Killing Grounds is set on a deserted island just a few miles off of Maui. Claimed by the United States Government, Killing Grounds specifically earned its name from the thousands of weapons tested daily. With an area of about 700 square miles of flat, open desert. There's question behind what the Government might actually be testing there. Some say the island doesn't exist, and some say that it does. Though the Government does try and force the public to believe otherwise, some just have to see things for themselves to believe.

Killing Grounds has a population of 100 people as of today. The Government was forced to allow civilians to live on the island, proving that it was not used for weapons testing. The civilians lives were documented, and footage was recieved from all around the world of the travesty that occured there...

Some say that aliens exist, and nobody says they don't. On January 21st of 2053, a UFO crash-landed into one of the Government offices set up on Killing Grounds, and one of the documentary cameras recorded it... Over 10 billion people witnessed a real UFO crashing down onto Earth. When the United States Government sent Officials to Killing Grounds in order to claim the UFO, the whole island had vanished.

A few days ago on January 21st of 2060, an unkown source posted the below photos of Killing Grounds onto their Facebook page. The images aren't confirmed to be real yet, but without a doubt, were taken on Killing Grounds. Scientists and nerds of the world alike, believe that the images were taken by a helmet camera worn by an Alien of some sort. But these are just speculations.

It has only been a little more than a week since the mysterious Facebook images of Killing Grounds showed up, and already the very same Facebook page has been updated showing Killing Grounds from what is believed to be a satellite. Although these images aren't confirmed to be real, Government officials responded to the public quickly by stating that these were private property of the Government, and that they don't know how somebody could have accessed them. In all honesty, we think the Government has no idea where these images came from, and that they aren't in fact their property.

The Facebook page has been deleted, along with the images displaying Killing Grounds. Though we found the very same satellite images in just seconds...

This just in, the White House in Washington D.C. has just been attacked, and invaded by something not of this world! The whereabouts of the President are unknown, and the Military has blockaded every entrance to Washington D.C. Any footage acquired by the Government containing images of this incident have been taken away, and kept in protection in Washington D.C. All civilian vehicles, aerial and ground attempting to reach Washington D.C. have been destroyed without warning by the Military. It's obvious the Government wants to contain the situation, but why?

Security camera footage of Killing Grounds has just recently been leaked over You Tube. Although the Government might have seemed too focused on Washington D.C. to rid the Internet of any alien footage, the security camera footage was deleted within seconds. The President has been presumed dead, and the alien threat seems to have been dealt with. Though Washington D.C. is still in quarantine.

News stations everywhere have recently been playing the same security camera footage that was removed by the Government from You Tube. Although the footage has been layered down to just images, the News stations do not have the ability to shut them off. The footage is played repeatedly day in and day out. The Government still denies everything we suggest... Perhaps there's finaly something out there the Government can't control...

Each security camera image contains the date it was taken on, the terminal it was taken from, and the time it was taken at. It seems as though each camera was triggered at a specific time... We have yet to find out if these are in fact the original security cameras set up around Killing Grounds, or if they are new cameras set up by aliens. The images appear to be real, and humans have been spotted in a couple images... None have yet to be identified.

A few of the humans in the most recent images of Killing Grounds have been identified. But none have been verified to have survived the onslaught by the aliens. One very significant person identified was Robert Chase who appears to be the only survivor that had a video camera. Robert was one of the few people video documenting the lives of the people living on Killing Grounds. Although no footage from his camera has been salvaged yet, military personal have been ordered to search for any at the coordinates that Killing Grounds used to be at.

Killing Grounds is a VIP variant that operates and plays much like "Cave Freaks" by Insane54, and Shock Theta. But also, kinda like "Manifest: Help's On The Way, Right?" the team without a VIP has access to four teleporters that all lead to different parts of the map, unable to be seen by the VIP's team.

For those of you who have not yet played either "Cave Freaks" and/or "Help's On The Way, Right?" yet, I'll explain how it works to you.

In the game "Killing Grounds" only one team out of two teams has a VIP. The team and the VIP must pass through all ten goals placed around the map using teamwork in order to win the round. Only reaching a goal will reward the VIP team points, and kills will not. The non-VIP team begins at the bottom of a hill not too far from the VIP team. Each is equipt with a sword, and slight invisibility. Being aliens (More like Predators, but whatever...) the non-VIP team can jump high and run very fast, so the VIP team must stay alert, and cautious at all moments of time.

Throughout the map, you might notice a theme going on. Such as all the exploding vehicles, and sand. The first exploding vehicle is down the hill blocking the building's entrance. You must wait for the fusion coils to blow it up, and vanish before you touch it. DO NOT TOUCH IT!!! The second and final exploding vehicle is hornet blocking the exit to the building. DO NOT TOUCH IT!!!

There is also this thing called the Helnaught. It's vicous and evil, and it will tear your shit up if you don't know what to do when it shows up. The VIP might run like a coward when this Banshee operated by an alien shows up, but don't do that! Turn around and fire whatever you've got at it. The Helnaught can be killed by less than a magazine of SMG ammo. He's not that tough!

So that's how the game works, but how do you play your specific class? Well all that's located in "Strategy."

These are all of the official maps in the series that are forged by me, and only me. Some might not have download links because they have not yet been made, and are just hinting towards the future of Killing........

By the way, these appear in the order that they are in for the story of Killing Grounds. The map Grounds........ is just what it all wraps around. I might finish the series, or Reach will captivate me too much to further continue this series. Or I might continue it in Reach. I guess the world will never know.
