Well, hello there! My C-21 Dragon is finished, more details on that later. Anyway, I've been working on this Infection map in relative secret. Remember those "Darkness Fall" maps? Whre you drive around in the dark, keeping away from zombies? Well, this map is a tweaked version of this, with adjustments made to the gametype to make it fair for the zombies, and a map that only has aesthetic geomerging and interlocking. Backstory below.

Backstory

So basically, this map used to be a warzone. UNSC versus a small pocket of insurrectionists, fighting in a small desert town. After the UNSC began winning, the rebels panicked, and dropped a low-yield nuke directly on the town. The sand kicked up, burying the surrounding town. The crater exposed an ancient relic below the town's centre. Then it got dark. The surviving forces of UNSC managed to survive the nuke by holding out in a lead-linded building. The builing was mostly obliterated, but the forces survived, so did their weapons and vehicles. However, the radiation, plus the power of the relic, transformed the town's former residents into zombies...

Drive to survive!

Gametype

Zombies and Alpha Zombies are identical, except Alpha Zombie have a Gravity Hammer, and are zombie-colored. Normal zombies have Energy Swords. All zombies can run super fast and jump super high. They have 50% damage resistance, but fast-recharging energy shields. They also have an expanded motion senseor, to 150 meters. Humans are normal humans, but start with an Assault Rifle, a Magnum, and infinite ammo. Vehicles are indestructible, no powerups of any kind are on the map.

Map

I wanted to give everyone lots of variety. Every UNSC weapon is available somewhere on the map, Mongooses, Warthogs, Gauss Hogs, and an armored artillery unit (Wraith) are available. A Trip Mine, Bubble Shield, Firebomb Grenade, and several Fragmentation Grenades are also available. 9 structures are featured on the map, all have disadvantages at defense, to discourage camping, and encourage driving. The primary structures are marked by blue lights, zombie structures are marked with red lights. Some are completely dark. The structures are: Human Spawn, Zombie Spawn, Ribcage, Rock Garden, Shacks, Bunker, Base, Pipeline, and Relic. After 10 seconds of light, the map goes dark. This is so you can quickly orient yourself. The zombies have a chance at early infections, as there's a teleporter at their spawn that takes them to the ribcage, right next to the human spawn. So watch out, the zombies get there quicker than you think. During early playtests, we had lots of fun, but I'm sure you're sick of hearing me talk. On to the pics!
