Plummeting Pilots

by Sam

Brief description:

Stay in the air with your unlimited jetpack and avoid the safe haven at all costs. The safe haven is no safe haven at all!

How to play the game:

The humans must stay in the air with their unlimited jetpacks and avoid the safe haven. The safe haven disables their usage of armor abilities, making them plummet towards the floor where they will meet their untimely death. The humans have concussion rifles and needlers to disorient and push the alpha zombies around.

There are two alpha zombies. Both spawn with evade abilities which are labeled as safe havens. The safe haven switches between the two every 30 seconds. They must use the safe haven to kill the humans. They can also kill any humans on the ground with their energy swords.

Upon suicide, which is when the humans hit the ground and die, they become zombies. These zombies can be killed by the humans, but only when the humans are in the safe haven.

Scoring:

Last man standing is awarded 10 points. Killing a zombie awards the player with 1 point. Infecting a human awards the player with 1 point.

Changes from previous version of map:

The new arena covers a much smaller area, but it is also much taller than before. One problem with the previous map was that it was way too large of an arena for this game, and I think the size of this map is just right.

The arena is much taller and the humans couldn't possibly jump from the floor and jetpack to get to the very top because the map is too high, so I have made it so that the humans spawn at the very top as seen in the screenshot below. The increased height of the map gives the humans far more room to navigate and more of a chance to avoid the safe haven.

The gametype has been changed around a little bit as well. The alpha zombies move slower to accommodate the smaller map.
