In Response To: Thunderdead - Foundation for Infection (FyreWulff) : Download Beta 1 of Thunderdead : So, here it is. Thunderdead. The name is based off the map that Foundation : (from Halo 2) was based off of, Thunderdome, from the Marathon series. : : : : : I wanted to submit one for Infection in time for the last update, but I ran : into two issues: 1) None of the maps were viable for four-player : splitscreen. They were barely viable for 2-split. : 2) None of the authors I contacted wanted to edit their map down. They wanted : their variant to emulate every single curve, nook, and crack from the : original map. Paring it down and modifying it to give the zombies some : sort of fighting chance was out of the question. : 3) The work for me to edit one of the maps down myself would have taken more : time - and reworking - than just making one from the ground up. : Thunderdead meets the following requirements: 1) Low object count to make it : viable for 4 player split, while looking "interesting" enough. : The map is 20$ over my original budget of $3,000, which is lower than : Asylum and Pinnacle's budget. It could go even under Hemorrhage's if I : really wanted it to. : 2) Made from the ground up for Infection, and Infection only. The Zombies : have safe spawn attics in all four rooms that they can teleport between, : to attack, regroup, and flank humans. : I intentionally chose to use the Large Walkways as the side pillars on the : map. Not only are they cheap for the detail they lend to the map, they : also restrict the pistol firing lines to give the zombies a chance. : Now, I want to submit this, but only if you guys approve of it. So download : it, check it out, tell me what you think, and make suggestions for : changes. : Known Issues : - Zfighting on certain objects : - Spawns are not complete. : - Support for Safe Havens is incomplete : - The mancannons need to be more cleanly placed : - Humans can team jump to certain door ledges, the final pass for soft kills : has not been done yet Whoa. This looks pretty dang sweet. Nice job!
