    Zombie Stones 2 is a remake of a series of maps i made on foundry that i had good feedback on but it had many flaws (camping spots etc.), so i forgot about the maps and moved on. with the release of the Mythic maps i decided to revisit the series and made Zombie Stones. Now zombie Stones was very popular, more so than the originals but it annoyed me because it was not merged well, was wonky in places and was not amazing to look at. so with Zombie Stones 2 i have made the map neater and better looking and more importantly keeping the original gameplay.

    At the start of the game the map looks like this:

    Then after 30 seconds the equipment for the humans spawns:

    Then at 90 seconds the Banshee's spawn to help the zombie(s) finish off the round:

    Finally, after 3 minutes the round ends if all the players have not become infected.

    Equipment:
    2 Power drains (30 seconds respawn)
    2 deployable covers (30 seconds respawn)
    2 trip mines (30 seconds respawn)
    1 overshield (30 seconds respawn)

    Vehicles:
    8 ghosts (10 second respawn)
    4 choppers (10 second respawn)
    2 banshees (90 second respawn)

    Other Info:
    Everyone has unlimited lives.
    Zombies can only kill by splattering.
    Humans can board and kill the zombies but not drive the vehicles.
    Zombies cannot pick up equipment.
    Humans can pick up equipment.
    This version and all previous versions are made by me, Prodigious 7k.

    This looks like quite a fun map, sort of a reverse Smear the Pinkie. The only problem is that the power drains seem a little overkill, all you have to do is tap the button when the enemy comes and you've got a kill. Maybe you could replace the drain with a plasma pistol? This means that you'd actually have to aim.

    I suppose the only other problem I can see is that you said that the original was 'was not amazing to look at' but you can hardly call this one particularly aesthetic, maybe you should throw on some structures which look cool but don't affect gameplay, or make the ghost spawn area look cooler!

    Overall its a cool map, look forward to seeing more from you!

    Edit: Once you pick up the overshield how many hits can you survive for?

    I tend to disagree. This seems like a very fun map, like monster trucks. Simple but fun as hell. No need for changes, keep it up :)

    Thats what we here at Forgehub consider SPAM!!

    Any way the map looks pretty fun. I would also suggest adding some structures, or obstacles, to make it harder. 4/5

    It doesn't matter if you know him or not, it is still considered spam.

    Anyways though your map looks like fun, but yeah change the power drain to plasma pistol and maybe add structures or obstacles to make it harder. overall though 4/5

    Don't you think, this should be at the Mini Games forum?
    I mean, it's all cool and all, but it isn't THE casual game, but more of a little game to keep your friends entertained.
    The idea is good i guess, but it's a sort of overused idea.
    You should mess with the envoirement a little bit, so it is a little harder for the zombies to take the humans down.
    3/5.

    i think the Power drains r fine because thay have a 30 sec spawn time and theres only 2 u could stop maby a few Vehicles every 30 secs and thats good. with a plasma pistol people would just stand in the corner and shoot everything then move to the next corner and do it again, also i think adding structures would make it less fun because people would just run around it and noone could kill them...
    i love maps like this and this 1 looks really good and well thought out great job 9.5/10!

    Hmm, I forgot that the power drain would only really affect one vehicle (unless somebody else drove in =P). I guess it would be better than the pistol.

    Um I have one question. Couldn't the humans NOT jump down the hole?
    Other than that, I think some obstacles should come up midway through the map. Just like the zombies get banshees, the humans should get a couple walls.
