Cassel made a completely balanced linear series of maps with some great breakneck scenery to show off, that we usually never see in infection..

Overall these two maps are an impressive package, with Breakneck's geometry being used creatively and intelligently.

District 38 is a gorgeously redesigned jaunt through Breakneck, and already aesthetically detailed map. The map has a very distinct atmosphere, fitting perfectly with the theme of decay and zombies, that really makes it stand out. Both parts of the map have some seamless area to area transitions, and it's amazing to see how the play-space is designed around the already existing map geometry.
What's more, not only is it gorgeous and craftily designed, it also plays some seriously fine linear infection. Offering a challenging (and somewhat pulse-pounding) experience, this map certainly can't be classified as overly easy on the humans. In fact, this map showcases some of the most balanced gameplay around when it comes to humans and zombies. A huge emphasis is placed on everyone working together as a team to get through this linear zombie-fest in one piece.

District promotes tight gameplay and great teamwork and balance between zombies and humans. However, the greatest factor in District's victory is it sheer awesome atmosphere, both in the natural geometry of Breakneck and all Cassel did to improve it.

Hey there ForgeHub community (again)!

Well, after quite a few months of trying to get lobbies, successful and unsuccessful testing, finalizing and collecting feedback, I am proud to say that the District 38 series is finally here, and finally finished. Countless hours went into this project. It wasn't easy and I couldn't have done it without all of the people who had the map packs. Even though Halo 4 is coming, it is still worth letting this pair of maps be given to the public.

About District 38:

Your objective is simple: get the hell out of the city, before you go to shit with it. Throughout your journey, you will notice weapons scattered, old areas that looked as if the military once held a strong resistance against the infection. Events occurred differently in reality then they did in your dreams. The good news is that you are not alone during your journey to freedom and your fight for survival. You have a small group of human remnants that seek the same goal you do. It isn't much, but its what you got and its better then nothing.

How it Works:

District 38 is a zombie campaign in which consists of two parts (two maps). Each map is a linear/progression/journey map which takes place along the outer perimeter of headlong. Both maps where designed with Nazi zombies from WaW and BLOPS in mind, but they in a more one way linear path. However, the maps hold a very strong ODST type of theme, which is something you never really see in Reach.
