300: A New Take On Infection

300
​

“Give them nothing, but take from them everything…”

​

HISTORY​

300 started a while back, maybe a month ago, when it was originally a VIP variant. It had some basic concepts down but needed some tweaking. After multiple tests, I changed it to an infection variant. Then I had to decide whether I wanted it to be for standard maps or custom maps. I chose standardand it worked. After some more tweaking and testing, I bring to you 300.
​

Basics​

300, inspired by the movie, is, at first, a even teamed slayer game. Half of the men are Persians {infected} and half of them are Spartans {humans}. The Spartans have a huge advantage, but with persistence, the Persians will overcome the Spartans. Just to start off, Spartans have snipers, and Persians have BRs, and everyone has a sword. There are no weapons or vehicles on the maps, but there is equipment for Spartans. Some of it is useless though, like the power drain and for Persians the overshield.
​

This game puts a lot of pressure on the players to work as a team. That is how game are won and lost. If a Spartan wanders off alone, Persians can easily overrun him. And if Persians keeps going at the Spartans one at a time, they will just keep picking them off. Sticking together and attacking or protecting as a group will increase your chances of success significantly. There are some tactics that both teams can use to help survive or help destroy. For Spartans, you guys want to find an enclosed area. One with the least amount of openings will work best. Spartans never want to be in the open. Persians BRs can hurt you a lot and it will keep you from scoping. You want to be able to have a few guys cover those opening in your last stand area so no matter where they come from your protected and you’re covering someone’s back. Be sure to guard your area though, and always be cautious. On some maps there is equipment like regens or bubble shields. Get them and use them wisely, they are extremely helpful in tough situations.​

Examples of Last Stand Areas:​

• Bunkers on Isolation
• Blue Room on Guardian
• The Bases on Assembly

​

​

For Persians, the key is to all attack at the same time from different places. If you’re trying to get Spartans in Isolations bunker then, some of you attack through the window from the other bunker and some go in for the sword hits. Persians are all about distracting the Spartans for some good sword swings then let someone else Br their shield to keep them down.​

Now let’s take a look at each team individually.

Spartans are already stronger than normal men, and with Persions lessened damage done, they can take quite a hit. It takes about 3 sword slashes to kill one, and with the BR, just keep firing. A Spartans spear is his greatest weapon, and he only has to hit an enemy once to kill it. Shields for the Spartans can be extremely helpful at times, but you have to keep enemies off of you. IT takes a while for them to finally kick in. Spartans truly are a formidable enemy, and the Persians must treat them as such.​

The Persians are weak and do less damage. Hopefully you can make up for that with their increased agility. The BR is their Bow and Arrow, and it takes a lot to kill a Spartan with it, since headshots are disabled. Your best bet is your sword, if you can get close enough, and the BR is god for keeping shields down. The Persians cannot pickup any weapons/equipment the Spartans drop and they can’t see their enemies with radar. Teamwork is key for Spartans.
​

MAPS

300 can be played on any map. The gametype is set up to remove all weapons and grenades from the map. Even though it can be played on any map, not all maps are good for it. I have tested most of the default maps and have rated them for the gametype. Here are the results:
​

1=lowest 10=highest

​

Assembly: 8​

Blackout: 7​

Cold Storage: 6​

Construct: 7​

Epitaph: 9​

Foundry: Unknown​

Guardian: 10​

Ghost Town: Unknown​

High Ground: 5​

Isolation: 9​

Narrows: Unknown​

Orbital: 9​

Sandbox: Unknown​

Snowbound: 8
​

Standoff: 7​

The Pit: Unknown

​

Guardian played the best of all the tested maps, and Assembly, Isolation, Orbital, and Epitaph were pretty high up there too. If you wish to post a score for one of the maps, just say so, and I’ll add it up there.
​

When making a map for 300, it should have several “Last Stand Points”, an enclosed area with more than one entrance. That is the one tip for mapmaking I have right now, so I’ll try and find more and if you have any just say so.​

​

Final Niblit

​

300 was originally made for up to 16 people. During testing, I found that it doesn’t work very well for more than 10. {Notice most BTB maps are not on the “Maps” section} The best number of people is about 6-8 players on one of the good maps. Another thing is that not everyone will like it. Some people loved it and some didn’t like it. In this way, its much like Agents, as its just not for everyone. ​

There is one more thing. Now, in each game there are two, five minute rounds. I had it at 4 but some games lasted to long and you can always add more rounds to it. ​

Where so you suggest I of it? There really isn't a gametype forum. And by "new" I mean it hasn't been done before. When was the last time you played 300? It has tactics that regular infection does not require. And if you read the post ( not sure you did) then you would know the sniper represents a spear. Obviously I can't make it an exact remake with these futuristic weapons.

 

Go for it...

I've played it. Its ok. The sword room is very unbalanced and because the turrets are there for some reason, it makes it worse. But after the turrets ran out of ammo, we died and the round ended.

Its technically infection because the base gametype is infection.

When a Spartan dies, he becomes a Persian and it become much harder for the rest of the spartans.
