    So im gonna start this infection map LOOSELY based off of pathways into darkness. I have watched countless videos on it and read countless websites on Pathways but i wasnt even born when it came out and i dont own a mac so i cant play it. But anyway i need help on ideas for how i should forge the map and could somebody help me forge this?
    i need help with
    -customizing the gametype
    -starting off with no weapon
    -forging ladders
    -adding something like a powerup relevent to the potions and crystals in pathways
    -changing the guns and strengths of each zombie (monster) that spawns into the game. for example i want some zombies to be like the oozes and some like skitters (strength and speed wise of course.)


    So if anybody wants to help me forge this map PM me, oh and if anyone has played Pathways Into Darkness that reads this ideas would be great!

    strenghts of each zombie -> custom power ups
    just lay them in front of the spawn or sth, and make different spawn areas to choose or sth like that^^
    or can there be classes in infection, like in slayer?^^ would be nice :D


    and...
    ladders -> forge tips and tricks thread
    powerups -> custom powerup :D

    No need for One-Way Shields.

    Give an explanation of what kind of gameplay you want to have or replicate and we can better help with what settings you'll want.

    Not possible. There's really no way to work around this.

    It looks like other people have given you the links already, but just in case:
    Ladders
    Shield Door Lift. You have a total of 12 shield doors and these have the advantage of letting multiple players climb (and still shoot) at the same time.
    Jump Pad This isn't exactly what you asked for, but you might find it useful.

    It might be better to have armor abilities placed because you can only give one set of traits to all custom powerups.

    You can just customize these under general settings>loadouts>spartan loadouts tier 1 for humans and spartan loadouts tier 2 for zombies

    Thanks, and by customizing the gametype i mean should i set it as an infection map because Pathways only has one person, or should i set it to slayer, and if so how would i make it with the one man team having more strength and ammo than the less powerful opponents?

    Infection is the only gametype where you can give people different traits. Juggernaut may also have some of the capabilities you need depending on how much Bungie has fixed it up (you would need to download a gametype that has the options you need although I'm not sure one even exists).

    If you can give people certain traits in infection, can you still make different classes for the zombies

    Human Tier 2 Loadouts and Elite Tier 2 Loadouts. Remember to edit both.

    The plasma pistol is an okay choice for this, just be careful

    as pyro said above me, tier 1 = humans. tier 2 = infected.
    and again as pyro said above me, armour abilitys will help rather than a custom powerup

    Alright i finally got around to starting it, you will be able to find it on my file share but its not even close to being done, i plan on updating it regularly and feel free to edit it.
    NOTE*** If you decide to add to it a little bit, credit will be given to you but you must look at the maps of each level, and please PM me or message my GT: mcneelyman so i can tell you what items to insert into it and what level im on. the link to bungies official website on Pathways into Darkness is this: Pathways Into Darkness
