Academy Redux (download map) (download gametype) Remember that scene in Aliens where the marines are defending themselves against hordes and hordes of monsters? Yeah, here it is in Halo. Well, that scene was just one of my inspirations for this map. When I started I already had a few decent maps under my metaphorical belt, but my problem with those maps was how they were much too small for larger parties. With the goal of creating a compelling zombie map for larger groups I began working on Academy Redux. Continue reading and I'll explain how the gameplay works out on this map. Complete with pretty, pretty pictures. The round begins with a group of humans spawning in a large, seemingly easily defended room. Zombies begin to pour through the two visible entrances, luckily turrets are positioned at each choke point. And everything was calm and fine inside the base. But once the first minute of the round passes a destructible bridge of pallets spawns outside, allowing the zombies to have another route into the base. The zombies then begin to give the humans what's coming to them. Of course, not all games end like that, like I said the bridge is destructible so a resourceful team can rip off one turret and destroy the bridge from inside the base. But then, that exposes one of the entrances. It's all about choice, bro. So please download the map and give me some comments. And just as a bonus for reading this far, here are three more screenshots, you scholar, you. The second story of the base with the spawned bridge in the background. The courtyard outside of the base. The zombie spawning area, complete with a sweet arrow. http://youtube.com/watch?v=vGEPo6nGdF0 (download map) (download gametype)
looks good i like the pallet bridge, gives an optional way, but also a destructive way into the building
looks great. that pallet bridge looks very clean as well as the rest of the map. also i always like a map where every choice has a consequence like when you said you could destroy the pallet bridge but then it exposes one of the entrances. good job
Nice map I really dig the choice that the team has to ether destroy the bridge or keep the turent there. people should download this map it is awsome really dig the arrow with extreme bib bob
No, I'm pretty sure it was a bridge made of pallets. You might want to try giving the movie another go. You conceivably could do that, but it takes two and a half clips to destroy one pallet with a pistol, and since the shotgun's range can't reach the pallets you don't really have much of an option. Limited ammunition also means that you can't just waste your ammo all willy nilly.
Hey the red and black spartan with the security helmet on is me! lol This was a fun map to play last night although the turrets were alittle overkill in my eyes.
I really love this map. Normally, I hate zombie maps (usually because they're just a bunch of crap strewn everywhere with 1 hit kill zombies and BR starts), but this map outshines them all. You get the consequence-type option with the destructible bridge, and even with the turrets on the tunnels, it's possible for a skilled zombie to get through the turretfire. I highly recommend this map, even if you don't like zombies. It's so much fun when you get 10+ people in the game, and even with fewer numbers. Go! Download it now!
Sounds like a unique game but the pictures are broken (don't show up for me). Also, great job on picking a unique name for your map. Remember, its what people see before they click on this thread so its important!
The pictures are fine for me... Also, I think he named it after a map he made before (Broheim Academy) which had the same layout, relatively, but it was bigger and (in my opinion, others seemed to differ) worse. This is definitely better though.
