Idea for map

So I just thought of an idea for a cool infection map and if enough people think its a good idea i will make it.

Ok so its basically lots of rooms, none the same, that are connected with doors. These doors will open and close by themselves(no switches). For example all doors will open for 10-20 seconds and in that time you explore through other rooms then after that 10-20 seconds is up the doors will close for another 10-20 second meaning that anyone is those room will have time to fight. The map would be completely indoors.

Now this is where the infection comes in. All non infected will spawn in random different rooms and to better there chances against the infected they must try to find each other. (FFA could would also on this map)

Now ive got a few options as to how the game will play out and it would be good if you could comment on which one you think is most effective.


Firstly would it be better to
a) have all the infected spawn in different rooms like the non- infected
or
b) have all the infected spawn in the same room

Secondly would it be better if
a) the infected had access to shafts that connected all the rooms but the shafts would be located on the roofs so that once they dropped down they would no longer have the advantage. For option a the infected would have to spawn in the same room
or
b) not have shafts

Lastly would it be better if there was
a) one zombie that was powerful
or
b) multiple zombies

PLease comment on what you think of the idea, any suggestions or ideas you may have, and of course the options presented.

PS: just in cass your wondering my fav options are
b
a/b ( not sure )
b

 

Yet I was thinking something like what you've got but the only thing I disagree on is having one zombie because I worry that it'll be either two hard to kill the humans (that's if they all found eachother or impossible for 1 human to kill him by himself

 

thanks thats a very good idea. I think I might just use that.

Does anyone know how im going to make the open/close doors remembering i only have 4 grav lifts. I was thinking for the other doors I could have a system where pallets all spawn under the door blocks which pushes them up closing the door. Then the pallets are destroyed after 10-20 seconds which causes the block/door to fall down letting you walk over it.

Comment if you dont think that will work

 

Thanks but I was looking to make the doors out of broken columns or something like that.

Sure I show update you on how im going a couple of days after i get my xbox back. Ive got alot of spare time on my hands so I all goes to plan (and i dont get obsessed with ODST) ill have the map fully done and ready for testing within a couple of weeks. And yes you will get credit for your idea (which is brilliant(if it works)).

Yes I understand theres alot of people out there who dont like fat kid maps so ill definitely take that into consideration. Once the map is complete ill be testing out a number of different game variants to see which will work best.

 

I see what you mean but firstly the humans would have to be stupid to camp the shafts and doors because they wont have a chance to kill the zombie before it gets them and secondly any remaining survivor will be on the constant move trying to find each-other or run away from the zombies.

I haven't seen that map before but yer it will be similar in the way that the zombies use vent( still not 100% sure if im going to use vents anyway) but the gameplay will be completely different because of the opening and closing doors.

 

I'm not fully sure how it's all going to work but I will build the gametype of the map. And if the survivours do meet up and camp to much I'll put a custom powerup for the zombies
