    Hideout Horror!

    Description: Zombies are on Hideout Horror, and you basically have to camp out until help arrives. You got 12 minutes. Can you survive that long? The explosions at the beginning, those are the only vehicles you get being destroyed, and even if they do seem intact, they're really just too damaged to use. Run into the house as fast as you can, grab the weapons, you have 10 seconds to get in a good spot. Power weapons will appear eventually, but use your ammo wisely.

    This is probably my last Foundry map. This map contains a pallet flap that goes into a shotgun closet, geomerging, interlocking, and timed events. This is probably my best map yet. And although it's (I'll admit) mildly sloppy at parts, I still enjoy this map and enjoyed making it. ;)

    Recommended Player Count:
    5-16 players

    Weapons List:
    3 BRs - 2 spare clips - 20 seconds
    2 ARs - 2 spare clips - 10 seconds
    2 SMGs - 2 spare clips - 20 seconds
    2 Magnums - 2 spare clips - 10 seconds
    1 Mauler - 1 spare clip - 30 seconds
    1 Shotgun - 0 spare clips - 30 seconds
    1 Sniper Rifle - 1 spare clip - 120 seconds (Not at start)
    1 Rocket Lawn-Chair - 1 spare clip - 180 seconds (Not at start)
    Equipment List:
    2 frag grenades - Instant respawn
    1 Custom Powerup - 120 seconds (Not at start)
    -Custom Description: It's for the zombies, if a human tries to get it, the zombies will get you before you can say "Hey guys look over there!"
    -Custom Effects: Increases damage resistance. You'll figure the rest out. ;)

    Seems like a good idea, kinda like the upcoming left 4 dead survival mode, and the map looks alright, but it could be cleaner.
    I suggest refining it and releasing a v2(if you want)

    Forging: 8/10
    Gameplay: ? (ill test and come back with full review)

    Looks awesome.
    Nice use of merging.
    Also where do the zombies spawn because I did not notice a pitcure of it.

    I knew someone was going to say this sooner or later xD. I forgot to take it, I guess. I remembered when I was making the thread, though. *Goes to take pic*

    The concept behind this seems really fun, and overall the forging is alright. The interlocking could be a little neater but it won't effect gameplay that much. Try making a V2 to fix up the map alittle and this would be great

    I deleted the man cannon because people were getting on the roof from it. I made a single-box-bridge instead. I also added stairs for easier access to the bridge. (Boxes, stairs and dumpster set to spawn after 90 seconds. This is the same as before)

    EDIT: Pics updated, map link updated. All set! :D
    EDIT 2: I updated the map and put in a double box at a spot that prevents roof access. Also straitened out the wall atop the single box at the back balcony.
