Urban CQB V2

Hello people of Forgehub!
Today I bring you all my super secret project that I have been working on in super secretness for a super secret long time, its so secret that the only people who knew about it were the good members of zombies, inc and the super secret sworn to secrecy people that I tested with it.
Anyway, to end with the secrecy and on with the map.

Urban CQB V2

Into:
So here's how I made it, basically a while back I formulated Urban CQB V1, it was an interesting map shall we say, I had included one instance of switch doors, a camping point (a great mistake) but otherwise a fairly basic, messy yet fun map. A few months ago I thought about improving on it, that was when work started, I was looking to keep all of the styles however, such as the cramped feel, multi layered combat and fair use of vehicles in sensible infection games.
It was when Zombie Verruckt was released that I placed the vending machines, I noticed how a well used perk could completely save your team, it was then taht I figured that instead of using a basic switch, monies would have to be used, these come in the form of grenades, a stash is in the bank vault.

Back story:
This map really doesn't need a story, but it can have one anyway, just to keep everyone happy.
Basically its based in an abandoned city district, the UNSC bought it out for use as a scientific research centre, however the research carried out went wrong (as you can imagine) resulting in a new and highly virulent strain of the flood, yet in a virus form. Twenty years later the virus was presumed burnt out, and the UNSC returned to the Urban facility, it was beginning to be used as an Urban training facility when accidents began happening, in one training mission the equipment was sabotaged, resulting in training grade rounds, being replaced with real ones. After several deaths were recorded it was ceased and the dead were placed in the innercity mortuary.
Seven days later the excersises began again, that was when things began going wrong, two marines went missing over the course of the excersise, they were reportadly seen being slaughtered by the four dead marines.
Three days later after a thourough search the four dead marines were found were they had been left, in the mortuary. The acclaimed witnesses were put on parole while this was looked into further.
After four days the investigation team simply vanished without a trace, their last transmition was simply garbled screaming and shouting about the virus.

The facility was closed down again and sealed off, never to be entered again. A secret UNSC operation has since been planned, a team of marines and elites have been sent in to find out what really happened here, and finish the infected for good...

The initial landing was a failure, now you must unite, scavenge weapons, and fight for your lives, and your deaths...



Gametype:
This map is made for my gametype Urban Dead, however it cab be played with any seen fitting, I will be working to set theis up for slayer and objective gametypes later on.

Gameplay:
Basically its simple, unite, open buildings, scavenge weapons, admire the interlocking, don't get bogged down (camping = epic fail) and always be on the move.
Use the vending machines to your advantage, and try to confuse the zombies, remember, if all else fails, panic and head for the roof tops/

Screenshots:
No map would be complete without them, so here they are:
The zombie teleport hub; from here they can get to almost any location in the map, and spawn in safety.
Note:
I have fixed the wonky teleport.


The city, several acres of concrete jungle, full of various nooks and crannies made for hiding equipment and people in. The combat is not just on the streets however, the rooftops make perfect battle zones as well if you want to escape the cramped conditions on the ground.







Here is the 'bank vault' the currency used to buy equipment from the vending machines is held in here, but beware, campers will be infected, really you might think twelve grenades are useful, but a zombies shields regenerate, and survivors don't when you really want them too after all, combat is the worst time to not regenerate in.


The cages, an ex holding cell for the zombies, they proved too weak, now they contain a few useful items. But is it worth the risk?

One of the many buildings in the compound, few guns, little cover, and a gaping hole in the roof, good to hold out at the beginning, but when the death count grows things will get worse.

The streets, cramped and great for ambushes, don't get bogged down here, or its game over, zombies will come from all sides, beware of this as just leaving your back unguarded is the difference between life, or death...




The vehicle trailer, a human help or a zombie problem, destroying these would be a good first move for the zombies. But in the cramped streets though, how much use would a warthog really be?

The vending machines, very useful for keeping alive that little bit longer. Just throw a grenade in the bottom and collect your equipment.






Remember flares, trip mines, regenerators and deployable covers all make useful distractions and perks. Just make sure you don't stand too close to the machines as they do have an awful health and safety issue.

So there you go, my super not any more secret project.
Here's the links to what you want.
Urban Dead (Gametype of you've forgotten)
Urban CQB V2 (Map if you are really confused)

Thanks for looking, please comment and download.

Hmm, judging by what you said about the interlocking I would imagine you meant the bridge flooring, I will try and fix that as soon as possible, I will be updating the map weekly to keep up with any problems you find.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.
The download link is now fixed, it was down for the past few hours due to me tweaking the map,
The bridge floors are now smoothly interlocked and some of the less smooth surfaces are more navigable, allowing more freedom in combat, I have also tweaked it to be compatible with other official game variants, if the link is down, tell me and I'll fix it and note the updates.

 

In the latest updated version, I have addressed the points you pointed out Nitro, I have also updated weapon spawning so as to make the games last longer, also I am beginning on a safer vending machine mechanism, any ideas let me know.
Thanks for posting and downloading.

I will try and interlock them, however the object limit is a cruel master, I know about the camping issues, however, the zombies can get round them via the rooftops, I may place another teleport to make it easier for them.
Keep downloading and posting.
Thanks

By the way, for the next version what do you think I should change, I am planning on not budget glitching it, but I also need tips for a more easily navigable layout, as some of the people I tested it with thought that the only problem was it being hard to navigate.
Although is that not the point?
Anyway, I shall try and bring up some action shots this weekend, keep downloading.

Does anyone know a way I can make the vending machines less dangerous, as they do injure you, more than they help you sometimes!?
Any ideas?
Also;
Does anyone know a low item consuming way of blocking Foundry's rear corridors?
Thanks

My xbox is broken, I'll be getting it back in a week,
Until then I won't be able to update it any further,
The next update can probably be expected in two weeks, either involving more work on the back corridor, or setting it up for more gametypes.

I was thinking about that, but then my door switches would have to be changed, and I like custom powerup switches as they are.
I'm thinking of a new design which is so far working but not compact enough.
