    I loved the movie and I liked your original mist map, so I will try out the map. It looks much better then the original, looks more organized then before. I was wishing for pallet windows, but that doesn't matter really. I'll rate it after I play :]

    I knew somebody would remember the original.

    Offtopic:

    Thanks to the kids who rate maps without even playing them!

    Though i have never see this movie, i am now considering it. As for the map, it looks like it has all that it needs, including alternate entrances for the zombies. This is good because the zombies will most likely not get tired of dieing over and over again all the time. Another thing good is that the humans have to use coordination, and watch all areas. camp proof is newb proof

    Yeah. You should see the movie. You will notice similarities between the movie and this map, fo sho. You might or might not like the ending. It's totally unexpected.

    Glad to hear that :p My favorite map is some weird mini-game map in this one room on Rat's Nest. I forget the name of it, though.

    Ok, The one of the only thing's I think It could do without though would be the fusion coil's leading to the door. It seam’s that Zombie Spawn, human Spawn, Fusion Coil Spawn, Zombie blow the coil, Humans die. I say you should make the coil spawn like 30/60 second's in the game. Also make the hole on the roof a little harder to open. Seam’s like only a hit or two and there in. One of the last thing's is if you could find a way to stop "Garage Campers". My and my friend’s go like this...
    Long Way
    STORY TIME!
    Rayne stepped close to the garage door and put his ear to the door. He heard nothing...
    "What is it?" Said a soft female voice behind him.
    "Nothing, Are you ready?" Rayne said turning to SoleSniper.
    "Ya..." She said cocking her pistol.
    "Wait up!" Yelled Panda. A.K.A. Vanilla. The three of them were good friend's and they each had little names for each other. Panda was Vanilla, Rayne was Chocolate and Sole was Cherry. They had heard word that a shotgun was in the truck of a car in the parking lot and they were going to go for it. Vanilla stepped near the coils and inspected them. Then everyone stood back. A shot fired of from Cherry's gun and the Coil's exploded opening the door.
    "Charge!!" Chocolate screamed as the three sprinted out the door into the Mist...
    A fully cloaked freak of nature had been standing right out of sight of the door. It had been waiting... It picked Vanilla up in it's arm's and tore him to piece's.
    "Run!" Cherry screamed as they fired at it while running toward the parking lot. Cherry climbed onto the roof and kept the "thing's" Off of Chocolate while he was able to grab the Shotgun. He grabbed it but, His hope was cut short to see one come from behind on Sole and rip her up. Chocolate, Know with the gun sprinted toward the open Grocery door to be cut down from the over whelming numbers...
    Short way: A Zombie in full camo also camp's the Garage door, So we cant go that way. One always drop's from the ceiling because of the loose crate and wreck’s havoc. If we survive this far they open the front door and were overwhelmed a minute/ 2 minutes in.
    Final Problem: The last thing's I don't like is, I'm not asking for rocket launcher's on very corner but it seems there aren’t good enough/ enough gun's to protect us from a herd of sheep, much less a freaky other Dimension.
    Overall: 3/5
    -1 For The Zombie major Advange
    -1 For not enough gun's/ Garage Camper's
    +1 It's the Mist! Immediate Brownie Point!
    +1 Intricate Design of the Grocery store, It's so Big!
    +1 Human's need to use Teamwork. ( Although Sometime's even that can't save us...)
    P.S. I love this map so much and see so much potential, however if you could add something worth while to the Pharmacy as well that would be great. (Me and my friend's lost FIVE PEOPLE to get to the Pharmacy to only find the Regenerator. I thought you had meant a Regenerator plus some other stuff! So why would you want to go to the pharmacy to get a Regenerator when Zombie sword is instant kill!?)

    Thanks for the wonderful review. I had a blast reading your story! I am thinking of adding it to the OP.

    Next time I get on Halo I will adress all the points you made about the map except for the "garage campers." I can't stop that and it is part of the game :D What I like to do is have some of us humans stay in the garage and have another human take the secret turret way out of the back (maybe you didn't know about this) and flank the zombies for freedom!

    If you wouldn't have made that post, I probably wouldn't even be thinking about making a v2. What do you think I should add to the pharmacy? If you didn't notice, there is a tripmine on the left side of the building outside.

    Thanks, Had a feeling I was going to get flamed. But In the pharmacy I was thinking of something like. Making it bigger would be insane because It's Really to small. Maybe the typical Shotgun behind the Manager's desk. You could add in a little manager cubicle. Maybe a room filled with Regenrator's, A pistol behind the main desk. (for the clerk's safety.) Also maybe something like a Deployable Cover to substitue for the little metal/glass thing they have seperating the Customer from the clerk. Basicelly what I feel is screaming for improvment is The Pharmacy, I have had people screamign there head of to lose friend's and fight there way all the way there to find A Regenrator. (and a Tripmine if they can find it.) If you have the guts to leave the store, lose friend and fight your way to the pharmacy you should be rewarded. The other two thing's that are in need of desperate help are the fact the Fusion coil's spawn immeditlly allowing the Zombie's axcess almost immeditlly to the humans. Maybe puting them on a timer or better yet deleting them. That way the Monster's would have to be liek the monster's in the book/film and figure out how to get inside instead of just blowing the door. The final thing that seems hard is the turrent on the other side of the building. It seem's like no matter how har me or my friend's try we cant geto n the other side of the wall. If you were able to shove it a little closer to the wall. (I'm not sure if you could) So we could get in that would be great. I hope this help's.

    This is a very nice zombie map.I like how you base it on a movie by the beastly stephen king!!

    For the pics they are very informative and your map looks very well thought out.The map ,when played right,is probably scary and fun.

    Good job.I like how you took a risk to give it a movie title
    4/5

    This is an ok map. I have to say playing this, it didn't last long. I think there needs to be more to the map. There needs to be more weapons considering there is limited ammo. It's still pretty good though. 2.5/5

    Edit: I think it was just I couldn't find any of the stuff. New score: 3.7/5

    Thanks for the input. Once Gears of War 2 gets old and I play Halo again, I will make the Pharmacy a worthy place to trek to.

    I thought the movie was fantastic, but I guess we can't all like it.
