    This map is amazing fun with infection.​

    This map is also set up for a fun fastpaced custom assualt gametype, vistis this thread in the competive maps for more info: http://www.forgehub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8130

    This map is a multi-leveled enclosed base with 4 floors, there are 2 side entrances and a rear entrance. There are many different weapons and pieces of equipment throughout the fort to assist in killing the zombies and there are several areas which can not be seen in the screenshots to hide out and survive the infection.​

    Floor 1

    The first floor is where the humans will spawn and there is a rear and 2 side entrances where the zombies can enter there is also a room with weaponry and equipment to defend from. ​

    Floor 2

    The second floor also houses some decent weaponry and equipment including a sword and 4 battle rifles, there is also an outside balcony area where the zombies can be killed from, and you may discover a hidden hiding place housing 2 shotguns and frags, a perfect place to set up camp.​

    Floor 3

    On the third floor there is a small corridor where zombies can be killed when coming up the stairs and there are two bridges which are perfect vantage points both with a sniper at the end and a turret. ​

    Floor 4

    This is the top floor and is home to the only spartan laser, as well as a rocket launcher and overshield. There are two sets of stairs up to this floor however and so the zombies have two options to aid ambushes.​

    This may seem unfair, as there are many power weapons and pieces of equpiment, however if you download the correct gametype the zombies can move quickly and because of the two active camos, tight blind corners and shield doors the zombies won't stuggle to get an early kill, therefore it does take skill to survive a while.

    looks awesome and i love the huge building. i do however notice that the zombies spawn in the same place and if theres enough people, there could be spawn camping. If i'm wrong just let me know ok?

    uhh, WOW... thts one big fortress. lol. Looks like a ton of wrk went into this and the execution is near flawless. The best thing u could do for spawn camping is either make the room inaccesible once u leave it or put spawn points scattered more around the map... otherwise it looks great nd im definitely DLing...

    wondering, what/wheres the gametype?

    I've seen quite a few manors/houses/fortresses, but never one of this caliber. The layout looks great, and the gameplay looks fast paced and fun. The only thing im worried about is the amount of weapons, is it just me or are there just too many power weapons? Nice map! 5/5.

    Looks fun but like polished said it looks like there might be spawn camping maybe put a shield door and put grave lift on the side where zombs spawn then the zombies can go out but humans cant get in.

    If you will permit me, I haven't downloaded the map so I cannot say how it plays, however it does look interesting from the images. My only criticism thus far is simple. Your map title is rather boring. Search for Fortress on B.net and you're likely to find several hundred of them.

    Fortress
    Arena
    Colliseum
    Maze

    None of these names catch my eye any more because they are just entirely too common. As such, I will invariably pass them over on the B.net forums. Please, don't take this criticism negatively. I'm simply making an observation from my own perspective. My advice is that if you're going to spend so much time creating a great map... take a bit and come up with a name that does it justice.

    Now, I'll download the map and see how the rest looks.
