Default Map request

Hey guys, sorry if I'm not allowed to request map makers to make a map. Idk why I thought it would be great to ask anyways.



I have posted this idea in my forums already so if you dont mind I will just copy and paste from my post there.

"This is a simple layout of my dream map. It's a fun armory type map, however more action invovled.

Humans spawn in one side of the linear map with tons of ammo and preferably rifles and nades (prob just four nades or just none).

Zombies spawn in spawn 1 with plenty of objects, as soon as 1 zombie reaches spawn 2 area they will spawn there when they die. Same concept until they reach spawn 3 where they will consistently spawn there.

In order for this map to work, the objects has to be prob the blue shelves or breakable boxes. Not too many also. Probably also at zombie spawn 3 less objects than in zombie spawn 1. But since humans have lots of ammo prob smart to make objects plenty, but not too much.

This map will give zombies a sort of a DDay type of feeling and its just intense when bullets are bouncing off your barrier while you tactically try to move your way forward. Prob a kewl dday setting or just a simple bridge or road will work. Maybe if survivors are too strong in this map toy around with objects or even make a way for zombies to run through the sides. ALso can make the map wider to make it easier for zombies.



Always wanted to make this map, just too hard using Hammer for me and would of cost me too much time learning it. I think experienced map makers can make this very fast so I plead them to give this a shot!"

"I forgot to mention the objects are movable so its very fun for zombies to get creative with the objects. Also I forgot to mention the survivors have to be limited to their spawn points so like in Taba's training map would be perfect where survivors only get to move around in their shooting area box."

_____

Sorry for the long post what do you awesome map makers think? There was a map called "something road" in gamebanana similar to this (without moving objects) but it didnt work in our server when we tried it out. (prob outdated map)

Well, personally I think it sounds dumb I'm not a fan of shooting gallery style maps. But since you're right... any one of us here could build this in about ten minutes, I might be willing to do that just out of boredom. Also, I support anything that will possibly keep people interested in playing the game, even if it means simple playground or "blow off some steam" maps. This is at least better than cabin/lake concepts of "camp for a hour or two and kill a couple thousand zombies with no challenge whatsoever."

So... what'll it be killer? Do you want this to be survival or objective mode? The difference being: 1. Humans win when they reach a certain destination or complete a specific objective of optional complexity, OR 2. Let the built in zombie counter coding handle the whole mess. Your choice cheif.

You could also do it where if the zombies cross a certain line they win

It is somewhat motivating and somewhat shameful...
Even though I have some ideas how to make this awesome for Zombies.

Oh wow the feedback!
Guys tnx for your opinions and especially wazanator for making the first one.

Ya I know its not a "true" zps map i guess, but i thought it will be a very fun map for couple of rounds. Just the creativity from zombies perspective and also the awesome gun usage for survivors side.

AND PLEASE DO MAKE UR OWN VERSIONS I AM ANXIOUS TO TRY THEM! I know most of you guys are very experienced in map making.

Also ya the crossing the line to win is pretty epic too, i was thinking about a button they can press near survivor's side IDK how that will go though.

We have a server that is more than greatful to test this map out. Tnx again and please do make more versions! Imagine a Dday one with this concept it would be epic i think.

Tnx again guys.

Alright guys I just tested out the first one,
And boy I really wish I can play it with people. The only issue was that the rifle ammo were pistol so thats a small mistake.

If we could prob adda steel table (just 1 or two) that would make it fun too. The green shelves in the front was a great idea so its no to easy for survivors.

Idk but what do you think?

oH also perhaps less grenades since I think zombies will hvae a hard time with those.

Also perhaps we can add more ammo just incase we have a full server? I think as long as zombies have a steel table or something it will work out with the countless ammo.
