    Bayfalls City
    Created by: Mr Pokephile (Bl00D F1R3)

    It has almost been 3 years since I've posted a map onto Forge Hub. All of my creations between then and now, I have not been satisfied with, at least until I finished Bayfalls.
    Bayfalls is a medium sized infection map that follows a specific "destroyed city" theme. It had taken me 3 attempts to make a destroyed city that I was satisfied with. Finally, this time around I believe I have achieved what I had set out to do.

    The map features several "new" ideas, well at least I haven't seen them done before. One of the most prominent is the grass that has crept onto the cement which gives a strong "I am Legend" feel to it. The idea behind this was that so much time had passed since the city had seen activity, that plant life had started to seep through the cracks of the cement and spread. The map also features piles of rumble, collapsed buildings and even an under ground subway.

    They're are two gametypes you can select from, the first (which the map was designed for) is "Spitters" Spitters uses a completely new type of infection, the infected use Plasma Pistols. The reason I chose this was because I personally am not a fan of the sword's lunge. With this game type, zombies do little to no damage with the plasma pistol but pack a hefty punch with their fists. The gametype is completely balanced and heavily tested.

    Second, you have the option of playing with "ZM_Outbreak" which was made by Oakley HiDef. This game type works well, and is the optional choice for those who do not like the Plasma Pistol zombies and prefer traditional infection. Download ZM_OutBreak

    When the match starts, humans have 45 seconds to get their barrings then the darkness creeps in and the horde of the undead crashes into the city. Can you survive?

    All of the images are edited, the map does NOT use the "Purple" filter.

    Hey man, I'm liking the look of this. I've put it into consideration for BIOC Round 3 Customs Lobby. If you haven't joined yet, group is in my signature. I'd love to test the mao and have you join our community.

    Stunning, as all your maps have been. I always love to see new content from you, even if it's been quite some time.

    What filters do you use, if it isn't purple? Are there no filters?

    Anyway, the only bad thing I have to say is that I may never get enough people to host a big game on this. Regardless, I already know this map is going to be one of my new favorites.
    Oh, and welcome back!

    Thanks! The Map uses: Juicy, Next Gen & Black and White. The colours are all the same except it's slightly darker. Personally I am not a fan of filters however I figured slightly darkening the colour gives the gloomy feel to the map.

    Great Work on the map, really like the setting of the map But what i really like is how you branched out from the infection having swords but having plasma pistols instead. Very creative and also i good alternative, so no one is complaining about the Bulltrue lunge. Good layout of the map, really like the details you put into it making the player feel more in a destructive environment. Overall, the map seems well played and well balanced. I cant to to play on it and really get the action.

    Join BIOC, I'm sure there will be plenty of hosts playing this map in future lobbies. At least I will.

    And Sean, this map rocks, I really like the spitter zombie idea, it reminds me of L4D and it's a neat solution to get rid of the sword's lunge. It's amazing how you were able to pull off such a huge playable area, with tons of good hiding spots and strategies involved. I'm definitely pumped for future games on this map, if I can get enough people in my lobby next Sunday I will play this map for sure.

    I would join if I'd known about it before the new round started. Is it possible to still join in if you have a few players missing? Or is it too late?
    Thanks for letting me know, by the way. (I sometimes underestimate the great community we have here on FH)

    Well, maybe if we would get bigger in the future you'd be too late by now, but for now I'll accept your request to join after all for this 2nd round. Just check this out, let me know in which lobby you'd like to be put (closely look at the dates as some of them might already be over) and I'll send that host a message asking to invite you too.
    You should also join our social group, so it's easier to find out when to sign up in the future :)

    No problem by the way, glad I could help you know about BIOC now :D

    I can make Berb's lobby, He and I already kind of know each other, considering I stuck with him during his first TGIF lobby.
    Thanks, again. Hopefully I'll become a regular on BIOC.

    Hey Mr. PokePhile is it okay if i post a map with the whole grass through the streets design? After i saw this map it compelled me to go back and remake my very first good infection map with the skills I have now and i wanted to know if you would take offense, if so just tell me and i won't post the map.

    Feel free to, By all means! I've always said that anything on my maps is completely free to use! I've always hated when people say "You copied" or "You got this from". Who cares, it's forge - technically were all working together to make maps for each other, using others ideas are fine if they benefit the map!
