    Whiteout is NOT a map on Blackout with the name changed. Whiteout is an infection map on Avalanche which uses objects and forge filters to create white-out conditions. In other words, you have almost no visibility and you are being attacked by evil zombies. When using the pre-made gametype, humans spawn with shotguns and pistols. Humans have no radar or visibility to kill the zombies. The only thing you can see is the names of your foes. To mix things up even more, there are 2 radar jammers and 2 flares placed on the map. (the radar jammers are for the last man standing who has radar.)

    Please let us know of any ideas you may have to improve this map.

    Meh the map is pretty lacking but the idea is good. Using filters to your advantage is good

    I apologize for the map size, but the method we used for whiting-out restricted the map size to its current size.

    I don't see the point of this. Shooting randomly praying for kills?

    The shotgun stops that. You can only shoot when they are close enough. Also, you can see the names of your enemies as shown in one of the screenshots.

    Yeah I just realized that on the screenshot. So I take back my criticism- great idea! I hope you get lots of DLs!

    I would complement you on the insanely amazing map you created, however, I CANT SEE ANYTHING!!! But I assume it is very fun to play on considering the lack in visual aid.

    Thanks. I have always believed that zombies should be a game without radar. (Or any visibility at all in this case.)

    Yea guys the point of the map is so that you CANT see anything, people only show up when they are close enough to shoot. and the last man, he gets radar so he has eyes in the back of his head (there are radar jammers also so its not completely cheap). The map is very small but, it seems bigger than it really is, being blinded in there, you cant even see the walls so it seems like you just run for miles when you are really running in circles.

    Note, if someone wants to take off color efects, all of them are marked by surrounding crates outside the arena

    This is a retarded idea done right. Normally, I'd pass this over with a flamboyantly disgusted noise, but the way you pulled it off is neat.

    Hari, I want you to know that people could grenade jump out when we tested it, i forgot to tell you =). I fixed it up so that the outter wall is taller. if anyone wants my version, it is the link labeled "custom map 2" at the top. And also take out the link "custom gametype 2" they might be different file shares, but they are the same creator, no point to having to links to the gametype by the same person.

    Just to clarify here. Humans have no grenades, so there is no possibility of grenade-jumping out of the map. Btw, thanks for all the support, guys.

    I'm sure that everyone made maps like this on the first night.
    It isnt that original.
    If you were to post some screens with the filters off, that would be good.
