    THIS MAP WAS MADE BY DOM SAYS OI, AND ONLY DOM SAYS OI. DO NOT STEAL.

    SCREENSHOTS ARE NOW UPLOADED, I THANK ALL OF YOU FOR WAITING.

    Game Type: Infection

    After I saw the movie ( and loved it ), I was thinking of how to make a gametype like it. Obviously infection, I said, but what would the map look like? Well, download it, and have a blast. Lemee lay this down on you (cuz im gangsta like that, yo).

    I like to make maps. And gametypes. But this is the most chaotic, frantic, hilarious gametype i've ever played, even before the first Rocket Race game i played. It's just a thrill to be one of the last men standing, with hordes of white 'Zombies' lunging at you. Heres the rules ( finally! i've just been excited, so I wanted to type random stuff).

    The game is two minutes long, but ends after 90 seconds (1:30). Zombies have no shields, insane speed, and are 1-hit kills. Humans have no upgrades whatsoever, and are only equipped with an assault rifle, with 2 spare clips. No grenades. The map is really just a Grifball court, and is square shaped. I added 5 single, open boxes for quarantine pods. After 90 seconds, the Quarantine pods will close, and ( I ******* LOVE THIS PART ) fusion coils will drop from the sky, Quarantining the area ( really just for effect, but it's so satisfying watching it happen ). The Zombies will then respawn, and if the person next to you is bugging you, you can team-kill them and banish them to the Infected :p.

    Really, expect more than you do when you read this. It's that fun.

    That's all people, thanks for waiting.

    EDIT____________________________________________________________________

    For all the people that think the map is too blank, and should look more like a city - if enough people bother me about it, i'll make a new map, for you all to enjoy. How's that?

    _____________________________________________________________________________
    EDIT____________________________________________________________________

    QUARENTINE V3 is now available. This includes 2 new quarentine pods, a path connecting atop them all, and a few bits of scenery. Enjoy.

    In all honesty, I don't like this map as much as the original, as the details hurt the gameplay. But oh well, it's what you wanted.

    I dont really need screenshots to see this map. Its just like any other map that everyone makes. It's no different. Falling fusion coils, One hit-speedie zombies, What makes yours so different?

    Half the players (default set at 25% for newcomers to the gametype) start as zombies, whilst half start as survivors with only an AR to protect them, like in the movie. Survivors are easily picked of by the zombies, as they are great in number and move rapidly, but survivors, if using teamwork, must conserve their ammo to stay alive. As each of your friends are picked off, one by one, more infected come rushing at you, making the game harder still. At the thirty seconds, make sure you're in one of the boxes lined up at one end of the arena, or else you'll be killed by quarentine bombs.

    It's really just how intense the game is, and how much harder the gameplay changes whemn your friends are killed. Trust me, if you play this with a close group of friends, you'll be up late into the night.

    Your topic title does not meet forum standards. Please visit this link and read the guidlines.

    Anyways, for the map and gametype itself, it seems pretty simple and rather irritating to have to run from undead supermen. And why call it I Am Legend, when there are no buildings? And how can you say that you made it if it's basically, "RUN FROM TEH ZOMBEE PEOPLES!"? It's rather anti-climatic, because the humans are pathetically unequipped, even with your so-called quarantine bombs.

    Geez, tough crowd. I've had to explain these problems before though, so I guess it's okay.

    I didn't put buildings into the map because that would give the zombies waaay too much cover to hide behind. Humans would have too hard of a time to get from one place to another, let alone forming a group like I recommend. It would just harm the gameplay too much.
    And GAMEPLAY always > GRAPHICS.

    Sure, the game could be labeled, ' AH, RUN FROM T3H ZOMBIES!!!', if that's the way you wanna look at it. But there won't be as much running as there is backpeddeling, unless you can count on your fellow survivors tohave your back as you run off to do whatever you've decided to do. Maybe pick up a fallen survivors extra ammo?

    I tried to make the gametype as close to the movie as possible, and he only had an Assault Rifle of some sort in it. He also had a magnum, but I decided not to add that in, because I think it takes away the stress level in it too much. It is fun to mix up your weapons, though, I've found AR + Shotgun is a pretty good combo, along with SMG + Magnum. It's fun to mix things up a little.

    I hope this answers your questions, but feel free to ask any more. :D

    ^ It's not one of my first maps, just one of the first ones i've posted here one forgehub. My friends have had a lot of fun with this gametype + map, as apposed to those maps where humans have an unlimited arsenal of weapons and ammo, and the last man standing turns into superman.

    I just thought some people out here would like it : (.

    Re: I AM LEGEND + QUARENTINE ( INFECTION GAMETYPE. )

    this sounds really interesting i mean i have played alot of infection games where the zombies can fly, leap, phase, and do just about whatever you want and the only thing to help you was simply using a Warthog and lighten them up while another person drives around map until you and him are both killed, so i think this will be worthy of a que by me...but i mean do the fusion coils do any damage to the zombies or are they that bulked up that they can walk through flames??

    And as far the boxes...are they able to penetrated or they are imperegnable by the zombies??

    Re: Infection gametype - I AM LEGEND.

    The fusion coils are spread out all over the area, so unless a zombie is right up against a box ( as some of them will be ), they'll most likely be blown up.

    No, the boxes cannot be torn down. It's two stationary objects pressed right up against eachother. But if you're pressed right up against any side of the box, a zombie can go over to that side and kill you from that side, because the sword will move through the box and hit you. So I recommend you stay near the middle/back.

    And I changed the topic title. Better?

    Re: I Am Legend.

    Sorry, but those have got to be some really close friends for them to be able to play this map for a while. Basic infection setup, Foundry Canvas look a like map, not good. I suggest looking around at some of the other maps here to see the quality and time put into some of them, if you want people to download your maps, your going to have to do the same thing.

    Re: I Am Legend.

    You only need about 2-3 close friends to enjoy this, it just helps if there's more. One would even work if you're short on players.

    Assuming you're one to like heavily detailed maps, I could add in random objects that won't hurt the gameplay too badly, such as forklifts and traffic cones. Nothing like walls, though - that would severely hurt the gameplay.
