    the vortal coil

    a map by me, da hitman 117 and mac daddy chief
    the map must be played with antilions
    i recommend being 8-14 players​

    The Objective: The zombies are the antilions. The living are the humans that fled from City 17. Oh yeah, this was inspired by HL2 ep. 2. It's set to look like the mine shaft from Chapter 2(named "the vortal coil"). The antilions have swords and have two ways to get to the humans: the first is to go down the tunnel and the other one is to go through the vent/cave. The humans start on the other side and must defend themselves. They start with an assault rifle. If the humans want more ammo and weapons they have to go to the armory. Do not fret, the armory is totally fair and camp-free. The humans must survive for 8 minutes. To prevent spawn killing - which some stupid people sometimes try to do - I set it so the zombies are immortal for 3 seconds after they spawn.

    The Description: There's a big tunnel stretching across foundry with two bases at either end. In one end - the zombie's one - there's an entrance to the vent/cave that leads to the human base. In the tunnel is a crashed truck and a forklift transporting a crate, along with some other stuff. In the human side are some crates, a parked truck, a hallway and an armory. This is also where the vent leads. 1/2 of the weapons never re-spawn, and the other half is set to 3 minutes. Between the two crates is a turret. Don't rip it off as it never re-spawns. There are two "hidden" weapons on the map. I gave the map some nice aesthetics too. The map was originally thought to work with infection and multi flag - all in one map -, but it didn't work out that well. The roof in the tunnel was thought to be curved, and the zombie side was going to have a covenant theme, but it too didn't work.

    Armory weapons:
    4 BRs, 180/never
    8 ARs, 180/never
    2 Shotguns, 180/never
    2 SMGs, 180/never
    6 Fragmentation Grenades, 180
    2 Needlers, 180/never
    1 Mauler, never
    + two "hidden" weapons

    Special Thanks
    goes to DA HITMAN 117 for building the map with me, and MAC DADDY CHIEF and JSlayer7 for helping me with check the objects on map. I also want to thank all the people who helped me test the map.

    Download the gametype first!!
    Then download the map

    Great map, 4.7/5, and I may have understood it wrong if you do have an armory or not, but you might get criticized because of the armory. I dont get whats so bad about armories anyway, I used one once and got bad reputation sent to me.

    lol, i like how you said "Witch some stupid people try.."

    Very nice idea and layout. I like how it is inclosed but is still big. I like that interlocked B sign. It makes it look like it was hung there or something. Nice job. 4/5 and a DL from me.

    That's some really good interlocking. The map is very clean. Though there isn't any... SPECIAL aethentics beside that hallway with all the trucks. 4/5 on looks, DL later.
