Description
The goal in playing this map as a human is to stay on the pillars for two minutes without being knocked off by the two zombies that spawn. By jumping around on the pillars you can avoid needles rockets and brute shots but watch where you jump because you could just miss by an inch. Pay attention because you could be caught between two zombies with no chance of escape. Let's look at some pictures.

This is an overview of the whole map complex


This is a bird's eye view of the pillars. Humans cannot escape the area. The pallets are only there to increase the size of the area that you land on from jumping from pillar to pillar. However, these are destroyable and they never respawn so make use of them while you can.


This is one of the four connecting vantage halls in which the zombies can spy on and shoot at the humans. No escape from these halls. Brute shots respawn on the walls after 20 seconds and rockets after 45. There were fuel rod guns that spawned after 60 but they don't for some reason. If found please contact me via PM system.

If you didn't get the idea of the map, here is the goals for the individual character class.

Zombie: Using needlers, rockets, and brute shots knock all the humans off the pillars to their death
Human: Survive 2 minutes of explosive carnage by jumping around the pillars and avoiding fire

As with Bumper Cars, post your constructive criticism and I will start to compile changes for V2.

First off the brute shots don't destroy the pallets but knock them out from under the teleporters after about three or four shots. But after a lot of testing I found that even when the pallets fall and stay in the arena, you are at an extreme disadvantage to be on the pallet because you can't get back up on the pillars so you are stuck and at the whim of the zombies. And the pallets do not need to be on instant respawn, they are on never respawn to make it harder for humans to survive.

The pallets are just there to give more area to land on when you are jumping from pillar to pillar, in testing I found it was really hard to jump from pillar to pillar since they are very narrow, so I added never respawning pallets so that there is more of a chance to land on pallets but they never respawn so that by the end of the game you have to jump on the skinny bare pillars.
And to the people who vote that the map needs re-working you need to say why or else I won't know what to fix.

Also the brute shot is not godly on this map. It is useful but it requires a lot of strategy and timing to use.

And to the people who voted for that this map needs re-working post WHY because I can't fix this map until I know what's wrong with it.

And I don't see why I should remove the fuel rod gun because I want it to respawn eventually because that will be useful in this game.

 

I tested the map first with that gametype and it was TERRIBLE! It was impossible to do anything on the map. The needler of course was useless and what's the use firing rockets and brute shots randomly? Rarely ever did people get knocked off the edges. Poor camo is the best way to go.

As I explained before, the pallets are only there to increase the platform size so that it is easier to jump around. Zombies try to knock humans off the platforms, not destroy the platform from under them. Once the pallets are destroyed they don't respawn so the pillar now only has half the area it had before.

If people are saying that's what needs to be improved, that isn't a thing to be fixed. That is part of the map idea, I'm trying to make it harder for the humans to survive when the pallets are gone, not impossible. This isn't at all like termite nor is it supposed to be.

 

When you say a little messy, that doesn't help. You have to refer to something and say: "Oh _______ on the map looks sort of messy"
