After playing the map 'Convoy Tunnel', I was inspired to make something similar but not the same. My version of the map has checkpoint styled areas where the survivors can either hold out at them, or plow straight through it to get to the next area. Basically, if you're on foot or split up from the group, these are perfect for you. Although you will be swarmed in seconds, it adds a nice touch. As with Convoy Tunnel, you can be flanked from every direction by the zombies. Survivors have a Scorpion tank to help them get to the 'final checkpoint'. (Hardly any-one ever makes it there) Survivors also start with a Shotgun and Magnum with limited ammo. Zombies have the same traits as the humans, but can board the tank and destroy it. The zombies spawn in the centre of the map which I like to call the 'Nest' or 'Hive'. Any how, time for some pics.... The Starting Point The Barricade The first 'Checkpoint' (looks so tidy eh?) Well you could have a breather or....... Tear right through it! The Middle Checkpoint And the final area The map may not look like much, and some of you may be thinking i'm promoting camping, well........ camping on this map ends up in an early death! There is also a lovely 'surprise' either Human or Zombie can give each other. You can get a glimpse of it in the background of a picture http://www.bungie.net/forums/posts.aspx?h3fileid=52469400 The map! http://www.bungie.net/forums/posts.aspx?h3fileid=52469372 And The Gametype!
this looks really great but couln't the zombies have three ways to get into the final area... that sounds a bit much (please correct me if im wrong)
Damn it, another map gets featured and it isn't mines. One day, i will get a map featured! By theway cool twist in this map by just adding only 1 tank, thats seems alot better...i think?
There is already a another remake of convoy ambush, No need to make any more. Yours has a lot of barriers though, I like that. 4.1/5 from me, Gameplay will be next. I will be back with a review later. EDIT: The gameplay was good, Not much of a difference from the 1st one though. Its now a 4.6/5, The map is nicely made but it's not my type of map as I don't like convoy maps. =[
I like this idea, just like the original, but i think you could benefit from adding more vehichles, maybe some warthogs or mongesse(?), because if you have a lot of people most of them would get shafted by not getting on the tank. Also it adds some strategy by having the slow tank have to lead the way to clear the barriers while others give support. PS Thanks for reading this novel.
I wouldn't add more vehicles because of balancing between human and zombie. Also to the guy who posted about the final zone, the zombies have one way to get to the humans, but plenty of cover in between. The main thing with the one tank is so people jump on it and use it effitiently as a transport and weapon.
