Desert Terror

Desert Terror

Map made by Mearm and Parune. 12-16 players. Use with Ambush game variant.
First off, there is a plot to this map, so let's start with that.
A UNSCDF recon ship was scouting the area near a desert settlement zone. This settlement had been active earlier, and was being checked to see if the facilities still worked. As it was scouting the main section of the zone, an ship of unknown alliegence flew in and attacked. The enemy ship damaged the engine reactor of the UNSCDF ship and as the recon ship was headed for a crash landing, it fired a MAC cannon off the back of the ship. This shot hit the unknown ship right in the command center, and soon both ships were in a wreak in the settlement zone. Now they must fight on ground, but who knows what the Humans might face?

There are many overview shots, as Sandtrap is a very large map. This particular shot is of the crashed recon ship. This is where the humans spawn. Note that there are 2 mongooses in this section, one is upside-down. This area has no weapons in it.

And this is the zombie spawn. Note that there is a bunch of supply cases and plasma batteries. This is supposed to be messed up, as it is a crash site, as are many of the other bases on the map, also either run down or partially destroyed. There are 2 weapons in this area, a plasma pistol, and a needler. Also note that weapons on this map are one time use only, and have only 1 clip total, so use the ammo wisely...

This is the base nearest to the human spawn. Now this base is very undefendable, in my opinion, and has no weapons in it, but if you get left behind (there are only 2 mongeese) this can be a sort of safe haven for the time being. This works best if you have at least 2 people guarding this area.

This is the radio station base. It is somewhat near the human spawn, and has moderate defensive capability, but is better than the first base. This base has one weapon, a magnum, in it.

This is not even a base. It is pretty far away from the ship, and has little defensive capability. The only thing you can do with this area is maybe camp, or if you're passing through, grab the SMG inside.

This is the drop pod site, and up to it's name, has drop pods in it. 3 in fact. Now I don't think I've told you yet, but each drop pod has a weapon inside, so this can be a valuable place to capture. Just don't get too comfortable, as this is very near the zombie spawn point. Inside this area are a shotgun, a magnum and a battle rifle.

This is the lookout post base. It has pretty good defensive quality, but is very small, and has no weapons inside it. Also there is a line of fusion coils leading up to the base, making a suicide zombie catastrophic to this base. Also, you might be blown up by the occasional mine popping up out of the ground...

This is a crash site for some of the unknown ship, as it has supply cases and plasma batteries. There is relatively no defensive quality in this base, but it has a brute shot in it. This is near the zombie spawn, so keep your guard up if you want to go get the brute shot.

This base is in the middle hall type region, and is just a little closer to the zombie spawn than the human spawn. This base has 2 levels, an upper and a lower. The upper is an undefendable spot, and the barricade is facing the wrong way, but the lower floor is pretty defendable, and the base has a shotgun in it.

This is the last overview shot. This base is the main base in the region, and likewise, is the greatest defensive point in the map. Problem is, it is the farthest away base that there is. This base is blocked 3 out of the 5 entrances, and houses a battle rifle and a magnum. There is also a barricade up above the base in an intersection, but it is very undefendable.

Now for the Action Shots

Can somebody please tell me what just happened??

Okay, I know alot of people are going to say that 200% speed zombies is too much, but there is a reason I put that there. One, the map is HUGE, so the zombies need some fast way to get from place to place. Two, this is to make the zombies have at least some advantage against the mongoose's speed. Also, I didn't use the infinate money glitch, and I had 80$ left over anyway in the budget. The cast for the pictures are: Mearm, Parune, Darth Bane 97. If you have suggestions and comments, please post and rate the map.​

(I am the one in steel and gold, Parune is the one in white and green, and Darth Bane 97 is the one in white and red.)​

I've made so many DLC maps that I decided I needed to make a different kind of map. That's why this is on Sandtrap.

 

You haven't even played the map yet. This is not all about how the map looks, it's about how much fun the map can be. This is actually a really fun map to play on, so actually try the map before you flame at me for making a map that all I wanted was for people to try it and see if they liked it. Last, you didn't even make constructive criticism, so how do I know what you don't like about the map, or how to fix it for that matter?
