    Just in time for Halloween, i present you with the bone chilling game, doom. A predator game at heart, the objective is to survive the cloaked zombie's wrath. In this game you'll notice that whom ever decides to stray into the darkness, will likely get picked off; and those who freeze at the burning sound of a charging laser, won't be any more lucky. This may be as scary as halo gets.

    It's a scary suspense game, only fun if you have the right kinda party.

    Update!

    I tweeked the game and map, now called "Slendie on your mind?". Reletively small changes that dramaticly changed the game. Much more edgy and overall a much better experience.
    • Humans have no waypoint.
    • Zombie has a regular motiontracker to compensate for the lack of human waypoints.
    • Three lights added.
    • The same darkness of gloomy, but now with the flicker of old timey. It's hard to explain, check this out then go play the game to see what i mean.
    • Time extention.
    • Slenderman reference.
    Predator:
    Predator is a one zombie one life game. The zombie is cloaked, has sword, a spartan laser, can jump high, is a faster than humans, and is relatively weak [update] and has a motion tracker [/update]. In game you'll notice that with this combination the zombie tends to single out people who are alone, this is because when the zombie attacks he looses his camouflage, and if people are around they'll kill him. Also, the zombie has a laser, which is great for humans that don't move and stand out in the open.

    Bird's-eye forge overview:
    note: this is actually a spoiler, knowing where you are and where to go in this game isn't as fun.
    single boxes are set to randomly spawn once in a while, just to piss you constant players off a little. Move your mouse over the image below to see a map of walkways and stuff.

    Dang, I was making a map called doom... Cool map all in all, never really was a fan predator but this looks like a potentially good version.

    Alright, I have played your map. The map is great. Very good atmosphere, and some cool scenery. I liked the flickering lights you made. However, the game-type must be changed. First off, the Zombie has poor camo. I realize this is to conceal him only slightly, or so he has to stay in the shadows, but the zombie is too weak for him to be this visible. While all TV settings are different, I could see the zombie fine in-game, and he died easily. I'm pretty sure he was the one scared. Please change the game-type, as it doesn't live up to a map such as this!

    I recommend:

    Weak Zombie with good camo, and no laser. The laser was a bit cheap, and left me saying: "What? How? I- Oh. Laser." Instead of: "Hey guys... Oh my god I think I just saw some-" New Zombie.

    You definately didn't play the map. That was just a bad review, period.

    I need to get a game on this ASAP, this looks like a lot of fun. Did you put a time limit on though? Because if you didn't, then the zombie will not have the motivation to kill the humans as quickly as possible and the game may go on for a while longer than it should.

    Fail review is failing... If you don't know how many Predators there are, then you haven't played the map yet. And reviewing maps before playing them makes Conkerkid11 a sad panda...

    Seaboro Kibbles, I was looking through the Casual map's section to find something my stupid friends would like. Because for the dumbest reason, they only like infection, or something else that has to do with non-competitive. Well it looks like Doom might just be the perfect thing for them. I'm sure some of them have heard of Predator before, so I hope your map is as fun as it looks Seaboro! I am a great fan of your work...

    I'll be back later with a real review that involves game after game of the actual map at hand...

    There is a time limit of three minutes, most rounds end around two minutes.

    It's not dumb your stupid friends like non-competitive games. Most people who play customs play non-competitive games, because they're fun. And I'm looking forward to that review.

    Don't be so hard 1Z4N0 SL4Y3R, it wasn't that bad. (And for the future, just edit your first post 1Z4N0)

    Thanks for the constructive critisizm. The poor camo was intended to make the zombie more sneaky, it was a move I decided quickly before posting and I've now changed it, to good camo. But I'm sorry, the laser stays.

    Man, I'm suprised this hasn't got more attention, this is a really awsome scary fun map.

    This was pretty fun I must admit, but it was also a tad too dark in my opinion.
    It always really freaked me out when one of us got picked off cuz the atmosphere of the whole map just emanates creepiness :) The laser did get on my nerves at times but helps if your the zombie so I'm not sure whether or not I would prefer it in the game.

    Its really too dark, maybe in your TV it was correct... just enough to see but we don't all play in a basement with no windows and no light...

    i remember playing this a while ago, it was fun. i believe the zombie had full camo and no laser. good times. i might just dl the new version and switch it around. i still remember this- i was zombie, everybody was camping. one kid says "ill go check if the coast is ..." new zombie. than the campers freaked out and i picked them off than jumped out easily. this game was really fun though, and the aesthetics were absolutely amazing. if infection was in matchmaking, than this would be the most fair map to put on it.

    Love it, already played with some friends and see it mostly surpasses first predator. But could use a very, very, very, small amount of work on giving it a little more lighting. Overall it is a very good game and map.

    The only thing I can think of is to remove the gloomy effect, or add lighting, and both woun't get the desired effect. Change the screen brightness if it really bugs you, but that really may take away from the creepyness.

    I downloaded and found three problems

    1. All the zombie would do was stay on the walls and laser people
    2. It won't let the name 'Doom' be entered
    3. Very cleanly forged, but try to ghostmerge the blocks into the ground

    Other than that the map was great. Seems like the type of map my friends would like
    Oh, and change the name to 'The Doomed'. that seems to work

    Haha thanks for the feedback, i just released a new version, you should try it, its scarry. So about the laser, it only has five shots, and without it the humans would literally pile into a corner, making it impossible for the zombie to kill, its the lesser of two evils. As for doom, the name is now 'slendie on your mind?' so that should be a problem; why is doom censored anyway? lol. I forged the map literally a week before ghost merging was discovered, so the merging you see is conventional push merging; and I don't see a purpose in merging everything, it doesn't make any difference. You shouldn't be focusing of the forging while playing, you should be worried about the dude stalking you.

    This was one of my favorite maps back in the day. Thankfully I still had it so it will be transferred over to MCC.
