This is my first map to be posted on to ForgeHub, but I have been forging sense Halo 3. I have also been following ForgeHub for awhile, and have considered posting my own maps to it, but I never felt like my maps were complete enough.

This is a series I've started called "The End" or "le fin," and corresponds with the designated "The End" gametype, although I believe you can play this with regular infection or safe havens.

The map is fairly small, but I wanted to focus on having various pathways to get to each room or position so as to lessen human camping. To further lessen camping, each weapon located on the map has limited ammo. So as though you may find some spot where you can pull headshots all day with the DMR or blast away with the shotgun, both of those weapons have no spare clips, forcing you to try other weapons and relocate before returning to the favored shotgun.

In the gametype, which my friend helped me to make for a "fun" game, has zombies with fairly high speed, active camo, but no armor abilities or shields, meaning yes, they can be killed in one shot with a pistol and a DMR at the head. Humans have sprint, and an assault rifle... its up to them to stick together, watch eachother's backs, and get to the good weapons on the map.

As for the map itself, the zombies and humans spawn "inside" the map at start. When a zombie is killed, he spawns in the zombie room or the "observatory room." From here the zombie can choose to go into the circular room, down the shaft into the second floor where the grenade launcher sits, or in to one of two teleporters sending them to a different location. The teleporter closer to the circular room (on the left) sends a zombie to the small room next to the courtyard entrance. The other telporter (on the right), sends a zombie to the other side of the fence, directly outside the courtyard. From here, the zombies just jump on to the fence and they will automatically start to "climb" over the fence. When at the top, you will be pushed into the courtyard. In the courtyard, after a while, a ladder and a mancannon spawn on the wall by the shotgun spawn. The mancannon becomes an easy access to the upper platform leading to the DMR. The ladder, which you walk into and then continue to press the "A" button or the "jump" button to use, brings you to the upper platform in the human spawn room. A mancannon also spawns in this room later in the game for the zombies to have another way of reaching the platform.

The weapon list if you play with the custom gametype is as followed:

Assault Rifle x2
Shotgun x1
Magnum x1 (does not spawn at start)
Grenade Launcher x1
DMR x1
Frag Grenades x6

EDIT:

I forgot to mention that in the custom gametype, humans also have no shields, but it takes two hits to infect a human. If you are a human and you are hit by a zombie once, you can still get your health back by finding a healthpack in the map.

I have more pictures but due to my fileshare, I was not able to post all of them, I may try to post more soon.
