"Tank's Empty" by iSkiill Life's cruel once you run out of fuel. Download Map Gametype As your fuel gauge ticks ever closer to empty, you pull up by the petrol station. It seems like you're far too late. The fuel supplies here ran dry long ago. Your warthog is stranded without fuel and there isn't civilisation for miles. Grab your assault rifle and barricade your windows. They're coming. Weapons/Equipment Assault Rifle - Your starting weapon, pretty decent against the zombies however you will probably want to swap it out at some point as ammo is limited. Battle Rifle - Can be found in the alleyway behind the advertising board. A good weapon to take out zombies from long range however not very good in close quarters. DMR - Like the battle rifle, a good long range weapon. One can be found on the map on the roof by the advertising board. Magnum - Not the best weapon, although when ammo is low, it might be good to pick up. Found on the pavement by the street. Shotgun - One of the best weapons to use on the map. Good for holding out in the interior locations due to it's effectiveness at short range. Can struggle to take out a horde at once though. 2 can be found on the map, by the petrol pumps and on the stairway to the roof. SAW - A very powerful weapon on the map. Effective at short to meduim range. Can be found in the supermarket section of the map. Sticky Detonator - Found in the fast food shop. Can be a good weapon to take out multiple zombies. Sentry Turret - The only equipment on the map. Can be found at the back of the main building. Places of Interest Roof - Usually the first place people hold out on. A good place to hold out due to the open space. However, there are multiple ways to access the roof for the zombies, and your lack of radar means you will have to watch every angle. Back yard - Features 2 "shed" like buildings. Each with a door and an enterable window. A good close-quarters place to hold out. Supermarket - A decent place to hold out however the multiple shelves give the zombies alot of cover. Fast Food Shop - Good to hold out behind the counter. Quite difficult for zombies to get over the counter which makes it a nice spot to stay. Garage - Features a machine-gun warthog which isn't drivable. However, you can still use the turret. A decent place to rack up some points at the beginning without wasting ammo, however it is very easy to sneak up behind the warthog. Gametype The gametype, living dead, is a 2 hit kill gametype. Human shields don't recover until a minute after they are hit. So if you stay alive long enough after being hit, you will become a 2 hit kill again. The zombies are at 125% speed, which means they are not too slow however you can still run away from them. They are also at 125% jump height, which helps them to get around the map. Humans can pick from 3 classes to choose from. Each having an assault rifle. One has promethean vision, the second has 2 grenades, and the third has additional ammo. Humans can also call in ordinance after a number of kills. There are several guns included in the ordinace, including a small chance of a rocket launcher or sniper rifle, which cannot be found on the map itself. Humans also don't have a radar. This means you will have to communicate and watch your back. It also makes open spaces like the roof less powerful, because the flood can come from almost anywhere. Vehicals are not drivable, however you may use the warthog turret. Other Notes - If humans enter the outside of the map, where the rocks and bushes are, their shields will start to decay. This is to prevent humans from leaving the area where they are supposed to stay. - Man cannons spawn after a minute, which the flood can use to launch themselves closer to the buildings. This helps speed up gameplay. - There are random weapon drops around the map. These may not be in the location you are holding out, which will require you to move across the map. - There are 3 hidden cones on the map, try to find them!

Wow this looks great! It reminds me a lot of Insanmiac's map, Nowhere USA except this one is a lot more built up. I'll definitely be playing this in my next BIOC lobby this Tuesday. I'll be back with some full feedback.
It looks very promising indeed. I talk to Elliot about how it went once he tested it. You have to pick a new name though. This one is really unoriginal.
Ah I didn't realise haha, I've already made the video now though so I won't change it. But in my next map I'll try to think of something more original.
wow this is great, im a huge fan of maps that have a theme, and also of flood maps then have essentially one basic area to defend.
Love the look of this. Hate the name. If you've browsed any Halo 4 maps forums, 1 out of 10 maps has the word station in it.
Ah right haha... I might think of something different then. Edit: Which has been done now New name is "Tank's Empty"
I must say, that trailer is great. I just want that music playing when I finally get a game on this (Tuesday).
