    Cave Freaks
    Created by Insane54 and Shock Theta

    Gametypes Supported: Cave Freaks
    Recommended Players:
    6-12

    Cave Freaks is a map unlike any other, it relies on a gametype that is very much like an infection/VIP hybrid. The gametype allows for one of the most unique and compelling experiences possible, it makes the game function less like a point to point rush, and more like an epic struggle for survival between plane crash survivors and the "cave freaks."

    The maps construction lends itself heavily to the way the gameplay functions, as it implements forging techniques and ingenious map design to build a truly believable atmosphere regardless of whether you are a cave freak or a survivor. The way Insane and Shock have utilized the "Spawn at Start: No" function is almost revolutionary, it is what allows players to advance from some spots, and blocks their retreat, which can be as much of a help as it can be a hindrance.

    As this map is very complex, it is highly recommended that you read the walkthrough in the original thread or watch the video (below).


    Overall, Cave Freaks has allowed for a truly original style of gameplay, which can be considered both casual and competitive, purely dependent on how you decide you want to play.

    Lawlz, I knew from the first game I played on this that it'd get featured. This is THE BEST mini-game to date. I don't care if you think otherwise, because you're wrong. :p (jk, it's my opinion...) But yeah, even if this wasn't made by Insane and Shock then it would've been featured non-the-less. This mini-game is just so epic, and so awesome that it's in a league of it's own. Great job on the map but could use less interlocking. 5/5 anyways though!!!1!!!1 (<-lawz)

    Oh my ****, I can't believe you geomerged on Avalanche. This looks like a very, very fun map+game variant. I will definitely have to DL and try it with some friends. It's awesome that it's got the floatin' cave scenary as well as access to the rest of the actual mapl. Avalanche has always been one of the best maps for infection.
    ...
    And I still can't believe you geomerged on Avalance!!!!!

    It's about time this was featured. I guess it's been a long time since we had a featured mini-game map; I was getting tired of so many competitive map. So many hours of testing to make sure this map was ready for everyone.

    The game play for this map is amazing and the interlocking for this is also great. Even through this map was released a week or two ago I think they waited to long to feature the map.

    I'm surprised that Insane54 or maybe Shock Theta didn't feature it themselves, but I bet they one of them did write up the featured post. Congrats on the map Insane54 and Shock Theta. Both of you I bet worked really hard on the map.

    No big shock here. Congrats to Insane and Shock on another feature.
    Their persistence in making this was phenominal. I'd say deserving of the feature, one of the very best VIP games I've played.

    I've played it twice. And once is the only time you need to realize such a great mini-game this is. A truly fun and original game that is somewhat complex but still great. I look forward to playing more epic games on this. And congratz on the feature.

    From the second I signed up to test this I knew this was gonna be featured! I maybe totally repeating what Vorpal Saint said but this is the most amazing Mini Game EVER! I had a great time testing this so you guys could have a great time playing it. It is a very unique and original mini game map which delivers much fun and uniqueness. Great job Shock and Insane!

    i've never played this game before but i took the liberty of reading the original thread and i can't believe how good it both sounds and looks. it's such an amazing idea and a very original game to make. its a game that uses strategy as well as skill, speed, and time and i really like that. i also love mini game maps and games more then competitive maps now and this is by far my favorite, a map worthy of a feature. good job Insane and Shock!

    ps: Shock you never accepted my Friend request yet. lolz

    This is a pretty good map. The gametype looks like infection, VIP, and KOTH. Looks very fun also. I would love to download it and try with my friends =]

    Finally it was like a whole two or three weeks that this was up in the forums
    this should of been a instant feature but o well. I've loved this map since 6 months ago when it was created. More than 1 BILLION HOURS of testing was put in this with me never ever being VIP and Paulee always falling off and making the round end. But o well the map is still up and amazing

    I remember about a month ago when you were testing this. This map in my opinion will be the only map I will ever play on Avalanche. Their is so much excitement on every game no matter what side you are on. Their is plenty of teamwork involved on getting your VIP to the destination, and I enjoy taking him there every time. When I am a VIP same thing I try to work as a team and score all the points in the game. The story of this map is very well detailed and the plot of having an infection based Influential VIP Gametype is just priceless. Overall this map imo will never get old or boring and it's just a great map and game. I don't think someone could possibly not have this on their hard drive.
