    Bell Tower
    Created by: red steel


    Map and gametype
    links are at the bottom.

    Gametypes: Infection
    Recommended players 4-12

    History of the map:
    The idea i had for this map comes from Sikamikanico's map Sacred Ground.

    The story so far:
    You and your friends are all thats left after the outbreak occured. The flesh eating zombies have chased you down to this abandoned church and now it is time to make your final stand. Will you survive or will you become a Flesh Eater?



    Warning:
    If you don't download the gametype, make sure that the humans have more gravity than normal, otherwise they maybe able to get out of the map.


    Gametype settings:
    -Zombies are weak, immune to headshots, light gravity, and have enhanced sensors at 25 meters.
    -Humans have heavy gravity and start out with a shotgun and a pistol.
    -There are more settings when you download the gametype.

    Weapons and Equipment on map:
    -No weapons
    -Active Camo x1

    Strategy:
    -Humans= The best thing for you to do is defend the inside of the church, by defending the church your defending the active camo.
    -Zombies= The best thing for you to do is get inside and take the active camo and hunt down the last of the humans.

    The cementary is the starting spawn point for the zombies.

    The humans start out inside the church next to the pews.

    The stairwell behind the altar is an excellent place to ambush the humans.

    The humans are making a stand at the back entrance of the church.

    This poor human didn't have a chance defending the front of the church.

    Well I can tell the design of the church is very largely inspired by Sik's map Sacred Ground, but I like the design changes you've made. If I were you, I'd give credit to Sik for the design/inspiration of this map before people give you grief about it.

    I might add another pic of the base side of foundry, because at the moment I don't quite know what's over there.

    I = sexy, for all my inspiration, lol. This is an excellent map for a large party. When playing i found that it was easier to go solo on the outside until the the zombies get the camo. Its alot easier to defend on the inside with more than one person though try to stay away from the windows.
    This was a really fun map to test and should belong just as equally in the aesthetic section. The alter and stairs behind are really are the best features, though the map as a whole is very smooth and well put together.
    I would definately recommend playing this map.

    Do not write in white. Those of us who are on the oldschool skinned version of the site have white backgrounds and are unable to read it.

    the map is very nice and has certain characteristics about it that make it a great map. first the forging is great. i can see that you spent a lot of time forging it making it perfect. second the idea is awesome. i like how it balanced on both side not giving one side to much power. the game play is unique and very well thought out. the map looks very fun and a definite zombies map to have.

    great job

    I also agree with draw teh line this map is way to much like sacred ground. Almost an exact copy just turned around. It may look nice but its just to unoriginal.

    We could turn that around and say don't re-use ideas with out giving credit where its due and or doing it better than the older version. I would have made more levels to the church even in my version I have 5 levels of playing area ,yours is limited to 3 ish I would have built the church on a hill like tunnel rats and mad a basement. Also its very open in the garve yard even with the tombstones.

    Looks like a great idea. I love just pure hordes of zombies attacking a base, but the base has to be well built, and easy to get into. A cool idea to add is holes in the ceiling or some air duct type ways into the church, to change it up a bit.

    This looks fun and well forged. Suggestion: Make the description "To whom does the bell toll?". That would be bad ass.

    Im glad you did give credit to sikamikanico, this map is amazing i played a few rounds with some of my friends and i love it. The interlocking isnt the best I have seen but, it still is really good though. I cant wait to see what amazing things you will make on sandbox.

    The thing i like most about this map is the fact that its really how zombies are portrayed as coming from the dead in cemeteries. i really like this map overall its very neat. 5/5 nice job
