Sandbox The Tunnel V2

Very nice! I like this very much!

This kinda brings to mind manifest, but when the humans get to the end they can still keep going. Very nice ideas, i want to know how you made the caving in ceiling, that's very interesting.

This is a great idea i would dl but im all qued up

 

That is a really brilliant idea and it's nicely carried out. Aesthetics are good, but gameplay here is going to be amazing. It's going to be fun to play with my friends when I just come out of nowhere xD

 

Pretty cool map, but the walls are bumpy due to the glitch. I'll check it out.

 

Tunnels Review


Tunnels may be one of the most impressive infection maps ,gameplay wise, that I have ever played on. It has most certainly changed the way I look at casual infection maps. Its very unique concept guns for the top of my list in terms of excitement and intensity. Tunnels is very balanced which is a huge improvement from many of the zombie maps that we've all played. Rounds play very fast. You do not need to worry about being zombies for 10 minutes. At most rounds usually lasted four or five minutes maximum! Overall I recommend downloading tunnels if you like to have fun and play a really good infection map with your buddies!.


Enjoyment: Tunnels was solid when it comes to excitement. Zombies as well as humans have many different opportunities to have fun. The great placement and variety of entrances for zombies created many chances for interesting kills, assassinations, and bulltrues. Our review party almost constantly had something to laugh about. Whether it be screaming as a zombie assassinates them from above, or laughing as the last man standing shoots a zombie at the last possible second only to be surrounded by the infected horde. The effective layout of tunnels promotes constant movement as humans. Very rarely will the zombie become angry because the non-infected are hiding in a corner. Surprisingly, there is almost nowhere that a human can rest and not worry about getting infected. Zombies were also rightfully given waypoints towards there opposition so that they can make strategic decisions about how they attack their prey. This is the perfect combination for a heart thumping zombies map.
Overall: 10/10 (Solid excitement for the whole match; Unbelievable)


Balance: One component of Tunnels that doesn't show up often in casual infection maps is that they are perfectly balanced for both sides. Neither faction has a large advantage over their opponents. We encountered no locations where humans could camp where they could not be easily and efficiently assassinated. An excellent layout combined with strategically placed cover provide many challenges for both sides. Humans, as well as zombies have to overcome countless obstacles in order to achieve victory. Zombies need to use cover to their advantage and sneak up on their unsuspecting prey. Humans need to do everything in their power to prevent this. Including constantly looking around for zombies lurking in corners, and maintaining a good defense with the surviving humans. there can be some luck involved but overall the best player with ultimately rise above the others. Good map Mr. Fausticals!
Overall: 10/10 (Very balanced; Unbelievable)


Durability: During our review sessions for tunnels I noticed only one major flaw as to where humans could break the map and run rampant amongst the zombie spawn. Humans can easily jump from another players head on top of any ledges throughout the map and roam free in the zombie spawning area. This can cause an annoying spawn killing if the player manages to make it into the corner. A wide range of view and a perfect angle at the zombies main spawn grows really annoying during gameplay. This definitely needs to be fixed. It was decided that there were no major camping positions that either faction could use to their advantage. Aside from one rather major flaw tunnels is relatively clean in the durability factor.
Overall: 9/10 (Aside from one major flaw it is great)


Aesthetics: At first glance you may not notice the detail of every nook and cranny on Tunnels. This map is no masterpiece beauty wise, however it does complete its role quite well when it comes to aesthetics. For example, the wooden boards on the ceiling of the tunnel create a ramshackle theme that complements a casual infection map quite well. Red and blue lights do a great job defining which corner of the map players are in. Also, they create an eerie glow that covers the surface of the tunnel making gameplay all that much creepier. Correct use of filter effects do a phenomenal job of complimenting the infection like theme of Tunnels. However, interlocking is quite bumpy which subtracts from gameplay quite a bunch!
Overall: 9.5/10 (Almost perfect)


Originality: Overall Tunnels breaks the flow of traditional infection maps and twists it into something new and exciting. Tunnels is a very original infection map. It has many unique features as well as a few, unoriginal parts. For example, The map has a very unique layout with the zombies spawning in the middle, and humans in the outskirts. Also, the general concept of having zombies attempt to break into the tunnel and try to kill humans is one of a kind. . However, there is a features that have been using several times within other maps. Making zombies break into a structure and attempt to kill an opponent is highly unoriginal, and has been used in many maps to this point. Tunnels is a well executed casual infection map that brings many fresh features to the table, while still maintaining all that classic zombie gameplay that everybody loves.
Overall: 9/10 (A very fresh map when it comes to the world of infection)


Personal rating: 9.7/10​

Additional Comments
~Fix the issue of breaking the tunnel area by jumping from another players head.
~Tidy up interlocking and the general structure of the map

 

Nice idea. This map has alot of potential, however, it is a bit sloppy. But other then that one little problem, very good, I hope to see a cleaner version, but for now, 4/5.

 

Definiatly a cool idea. I never figured anyone had the idea to go have tunnel idea, especially the idea of multiple entrences. Honestly, i see no holes in this map that make it terrible. 5/5!

 

A much, and mean much, better improvement over V1. I noticed that you took my idea of the falling ceiling and multiple entrances. It looks like it adds a lot more to the gameplay and overall feel of the map. That coupled with the full-circle tunnel instead of the prior one-room-to-the-other layout. I'll definitely download this version and play a few games.

I also appreciate mentioning me at the end of the post. I felt so BAMF reading that. :b

Edit:

The best way to fix this in my opinion is to have the humans have a higher (heavier) set gravity. It seems like the only possible way to do it without having to physically change parts of the map.

 

Yeah, but will it disrupt the gameplay in any other way not being amble to jump over/onto certain blocks?

 

well the idea is pretty good and the replay value is high, not low like most other infection maps and there is no armoury in sight, wewt.
if you change the gravity so you can crouch jump on the boxes, couldn't you still crouch jump on peoples heads?
oh well it looks really good but i still like manifest better, not by much tho.

 

This looks great, the zomies can come in from anywhere! 'm sooo dling, i can't wait to start a game going on this one!!!

 

Yes, but by the time you do. You'd be dead because the zombies would probably just mob your ass.

On another note, the map is a little too dark, in my opinion. Sure, it adds to the atmosphere but it's kind of frustrating at times.
