'Deliverance' | Infection Variant

DELIVERANCE
By CommanderColson

-Overpower your opposers and take the holdout, but watch out for the Zombie horde that quickly follows. 12-16 Players.



Deliverance was an idea I had back in the late days of Halo 4, but could not execute due to the beloved Flood settings. The gametype was originally inspired by the television show, 'The Walking Dead', a show that deals greatly with fighting zombies and other groups of survivors, something that I wanted to implement into an Infection gametype, along with slowing down the speeds and beefing up the zombies in order to make a more grounded, team orientated game of infection.


'Deliverance' works as such:

-Alpha zombies spawn in a placement of power on the high ground, with human traits and BR's.

-Humans spawn on the low ground, and must carry a Flight Bomb upwards to infiltrate the power position held by the Alpha's. They're given low firepower.

-Upon infiltrating the Alpha's hold out, humans will finds weapon crates full of BR's and AR's.

-Humans must plant the flight bomb in the hold out to cut the rounds timer in half. For instance, instead of having to hold out against the zombies for 4 minutes, upon planting the bomb humans may only need to hold out for 1 minute.

-When either an Alpha or Human dies, they respawn with the traits of a normal zombie. Swords and all.

The current maps built for Deliverance are;
'Tillage' by CommanderColson
'Mountain Pass' by Auxi Klutch and CommanderColson
'Seelow Heights' by Auxi Klutch

All of which will be on CommanderColson's (me) file share shortly.






A big thanks goes out to Auxi Klutch, whom recorded gameplay, edited the videos, took screenshots, and helped build a few of the maps for the gametype!

I personally love how this asymmetrical little Infection game has turned out, and plan to enthusiastically bring it to Halo 5 when the opportunity arrives. Hope you all enjoy!

For anyone who may wonder about the 4th map shown in my commentary video; that was a map named 'Prison', which was based off the prison seen in the show the 'Walking Dead'. After much testing however, I came to the conclusion that the design for the map was inherently flawed and would not make the cut for being an 'official' 'Deliverance' map.
