    Grenade Tag has for a long time been a good crowd pleaser with its simple grenade based gameplay. It was (like most of my maps) originally made on foundry. This mini game is very fun for everyone playing. Unlike most grenade based games, this is infection, mainly because you can have many more options to do with traits etc.

    Now...

    ...at the start of the round the zombie is in a corridoor full of grenades...

    [​IMG]

    ... and the humans are in a box paralell to the corridoor.

    [​IMG]

    The aim for the zombie is to kill as many people with the grenades as possible before the timer runs out, and the aim of the human is to simply stay alive and wait for the custom powerup to spawn.

    [​IMG]

    The custom powerup allows the human who picks it up to kill the otherwise invincible zombie.

    To stay alive you NEED to jump out of the way of the grenades...

    [​IMG]

    ...otherwise you'll end up like this guy.

    Extra info:

    • The humans have needlers because the explosion from them makes the zombie jump, therefore making it harder for them to throw the grenades.
    • The zombie has an energy sword for anyone who gets too close.
    • The floor of the corridoor is lower than the floor for the humans, this prevents camping spots which where a problem in the foundry version.
    • The zombies do not have regenerating grenades because they do'nt regenerate fast enough, instead there is a row of mixed grenades (this includes firebomb, plasma and spike grenades) , all of which are on instant respawn.
    • This game is very good for 4+ players but can be done as a 2 or 3 player game with reasonable results.
    • On the pictures it looks like the zombies cannot see. They can, do'nt worry.
    • I know there are lots of very similar grenade based maps out there and probably one or two very similar to this. I would like to make clear i did not copy anyone in the making of this map.

    I played on this, and I must admit it is LOADS of fun. It just goes to show that maps needent be needlessly complex to be fun.
    Although, when we set the zombie count to 2, it was a little more challenging.
    4.5/5

    Looks like it could be fun but I'd suggest making two corridors for the zombies to spawn in, that way it is harder for the humans.

    amazing map dude! its so simple yet so ingenious. i'll try to comment again after i play but right now its a solid 5/5.
    btw a second corridor in future versions would be pimperish.

    Great job, and it looks liek it would be lots of fun with a whle bunch of people. Although it looks like it would be even more fun if it was just fire bomb nades.

    This has no negative comments and nearly 700 views, but ONLY 67 downloads? Whats wrong with this game? Or whats wrong with people on forge hub? If you're not going to download it tell me why?

    This is similar to my map Ring of Fire lol, but this still looks like a lot of fun with any amount of people, and i like that there are different types of grenades. Great job! =)

    yeah i put a comment on ring of fire a few days ago saying that. but yeah it is the same concept on both maps and mine has been here longer, also mine has more merging and forging than ring of fire but the gameplay is very similar
