This is the map I've submitted to Forge Labs for the July Contest which was to recreate something from another (game/movie/TV show) Back in the early 2000's my favourite show to watch was Samurai Jack, I could go on and on about why I love it. And while there where many great episodes and locations the Well of Ozric from Episode VII: Jack and the Three Blind Archers was my favourite for many reasons and as such decided to recreate it for this contest.

Now I could of just uploaded this as an Aesthetic map and called it a day.... Nope. I wanted to make this special so I have made a custom gamemode you can all download

Now this is my best attempt to recreate the mode using Infection and there are some things you should know.
-The 3 Archers (Infected) spawn on top of the tower they move slower but have bottomless clip Sniper Rifles. Their goal is the prevent the Samurai from reaching the tower and killing the Archers.
-The Samurai (Survivor) spawns somewhere beyond the first tree line, has slightly less base movement speed but sprint speed is high but takes longer to reach Max speed. They only have a Energy Sword and cannot pickup weapons/grenades. Their goal is to reach the tower and eliminate the 3 Archers.
-There are two rounds which last a minute each
-Survivors do get points for staying alive but isn't game breaking.
-Get a load of points for killing the Samurai
-Get a butt load of points for killing the Archers
-Everyone only has One Life
Known bugs:
Unfortunately there is an annoying issue, killing the Survivor ends the round/game as I intended however if the Survivor kills all the Infected the round/game won't end. I'm not very good when it comes to gametypes and I can't find a fix for this, which is why rounds only last a minute each. Hopefully it doesn't cause to much frustration.
Special thanks to AustinxAssault and members of the Australian Spartans Company for helping me with testing.
Any feedback for improvements would be greatly appreciated
