    Pitch Black
    Made by Spartn029 and StalinShortcake
    Humans must drive in the pitch black of the desert night to outlast the super-zombies.


    Ok, no lie, this is the most holyshitIjustpissedmypantsdontkillmedontkillmedontkillmepleaseGODdontkillme!!!!!!!
    Zombies map i have ever played on. It started out at just a superzombies map, like you used to play on sandtrat, but with a little twist. The filters pen and ink, gloomy, and juicy are all on, making everything beyond the middle of the map crazy dark.

    So, the general idea... Zombies spawn midmap in a structure with mancannons the shoot them out with 50% gravity and 300% speed but no shields and 50% damage resistance. Humans spawn in an eerie base out in the dunes (towers blocked off) With plasma pistol spawns, 75% gravity and 4 mongeese and 4 warthogs at their disposal. The humans all have indicators over them because otherwise it would be impossible to find them.

    So, they go out from the base and try to survive. 25%intitial zombie count.

    Lets get to those juicy pictures...

    Here are the structures without the filters on,

    Human Base

    Vehicle Spawn

    Secret Weapons Platform (4 Br's 1Rocket Lawnchair 1Fuel Rod Cannon 2 Trip Mines. And a chopper escape vehicle)

    Ok so heres an idea of what it looks like with the filters.
    Secret Weapons platform. (This is the only angle where you can actually see it with the filters on. The only thing that you see when you are driving around looking for it is the tip of the grav lift on the ground.)

    The driver did not see the zombie coming at all. total luck.

    Hmmm sounds like a cool idea with it being super dark, so it's like a drive and run away thing. Might be hard to play with a good zombie because he'll catch them every time, since they can't see the zombie. Make the zombie armor a light color like white, maybe it might make it a little easier on them.

    To the first post, the color is white. The only time you can see the zombies is still when they are right next to you, but when they move at 300%, that makes it a little tough. But the good thing is that the weak zombies will die if there is any sort of splatter that would do damage to a regular spartan. So it evens out because they cant come at you head on so they have to catch up from the sides.

    To the second post. I actually tried this, but because the zombies spawn in a room under the mancannons in zombie base, they arent vulnerable on the spawns, and there are 3 mancannons that take you out in 3 different directions, so it is easy to break any attempt at a spawn camp.

    alright its fun, but you didnt think of the gametype. theres been a map like this already called NIGHT and a gametype for it called STALKERS and it plays much better than this, please dont steal others ideas and think of ur own. But for your own variation of it ill give it a 3/5

    Wow great looking game, seems like alot of fun. But how are you supposed to drive around with the gaurdians shooting at you? You cant out run them unless you have alot of people, then it would just start killing the group one by one.

    Crazy map you have, and the idea of the whole night theme is great, and this is the kind of maps that I'm looking for in an infection gameplay that helps me get inspired for my infection maps with the same night theme! Great job!

    Mmkay. Next time ill search all sandtrap maps for anything that has the word dark in it. Then i'll know. But it wasn't stolen. I never even come into this forum because all i do is competative maps.

    But anyways, like i said, the towers are blocked. They cant shoot at you and they dont make your screen blink, so you can go wherever.
