I was looking at the featured maps and saw most are either mini games or like slayer. Some of the mini games are infection, but not really that good. Is their any true infection maps?!:cry:
I think that infection maps are really fun, but sometimes there really isn't anything special about them, nothing special enough to get featured anyway, even tho they are soo fun. There arn't any Cops and Robbers, or just modified sandtrap on the featured and they can be the best. This is -forge- hub, the featured maps are sometimes featured because of there forgery, not just fun.
yes but I among many others find infection to be the most fun of all but you can make a infection map with amazing forgery and the potential to add things like switchs which aren't pratical for competitive maps.
Yes, but those aren't exactly normal infection maps. I think he means ones that are outside, that don't really have a twist unlike maps like Omega Journey or the Estate, or Bart's Manor and stuff like that. Just regular infection maps. Without a big mansion, enclosed vents and stuff, or a big maze like cellar. Just regular, old school infection. It's kind of hard to explain, but I think you might know what I mean. To that, I don't know if there are any that have been featured.
Infection maps can be forged really well, I am not just talking about the fun of the maps. I mean I've seen some great infection maps that are forged much better than regular competitive maps. I think my infection map is forged pretty well and it still doesn't get featured, even though it got more downloads then most featured maps. It got more downloads then maps that got featured after of course, because once a map gets featured then people start to download it. So maybe the people who are looking at what maps should get featured should choose more of a variety then the main competitve style maps.
To be honest, I dont think any of the staff like running randomly into turrets or an armory, or several humans. I know, some are pretty good, but tbh I dont like most of them. The only one I really like is Traxus Co., and it never got featured for some reason. The featured map 'Shipwrecked!' by Trickmyster quite a while back is classic infection with a backstory to keep you moving. A more lately featured classic infection map is 'Antilion Defense' by James Fantastic.
A lot of the maps featured do work for infection. Its just not overly advertised because the gametype isn't competitive. Infection variants are also very hard to balance. Often its too hard for the zombie to infect a player, or its too easy. Its the nature of the gametype, but its what makes it so hard to find a good working infection map. Most infection maps often have stock piles of weapons, or sloppy geometry. Now that isn't all of them, but a vast majority of them. It puts a lot of people here off from playing them.
My honeycomb map is really fun, if you just want some ramdon fun infection maps? I really think that this thread is too vaig to continue with, and the fact that he is not responding is bugging me.
Alot of featured maps actually have infection for a gametype. Infection is one of the most fun varients to play.
I think that infection is fun, but I agree with Draw the Line. These days it is hard to find a truly well forged infection map. Most people throw a pile of weapons in a corner and call it a map, not to say that all infection maps are like this of course. I am sure if there was a balanced infection map, where it is as fun to play as the humans as it is the zombies, then it would get featured. Untill then I doubt very many infection style maps will be featured.
I was thinking the excat same, just because a map is made for infection doesn't mean the map is unbalanced. Thier are maps where it is fun to be a zombie and is fun to be a human, I just think people have been to hyped up about all this mlg craze. I know featured maps have worked for infection, but infection wasn't it's main game variant. Thus making the map less fun because it spends more time on slayer and other game variant's then infection. Which probally means the infection for the map wouldn't be as greatly played.
