The Mill

Hello again Forge Hub, it's been a loooong time since i posted a map mostly all i have been doing is getting better at forging and i got hooked on Fallout 3 but thats another story.

Anyway, Heres my newest map THE MILL

I'm sure i could think of a better story if i tried, but as it is i'm lazy.

Deep inside this munitions factory a team of workers have become trapped, the doors are sealed and they lack supplies... but thats the least of their worries.
Its a primarily linear dash for safety and ammo all the while being hounded by zombies that come from literally everywhere, they can basically fly, they have superior speed and jump which makes running a terrible option. You will need teamwork if you want to survive past even the first roadblock while it opens up, the only time going one on one with a zombie is even feasible is when your carrying a shotgun and this will cost you more health and ammo than is safe especially with the general rarity of shotguns in this map (no weaponry or equipment will respawn, sharing is caring)

This is an infection map that is used with a custom game type named Onslaught, DL: Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details

And onwards to the pictures fro those who didn't want to read my beautiful text block.

THE BEGINNING POINT

This is your view from the human starting point, that room up ahead is going to want to be your first stop as it contains one of the 3 shotguns on the map
as well as 2xSMG some grenades giving you your initial weapon set.


Behind these barriers is the zombies spawning point, you will be safe until they are broken down, which on average gives you enough times to grab a weapon and be just into the next area before they come after you.


Through that hole in the wall is your escape route, inside the building you will find 2xFlame grenades which you will find are invaluable for taking down stray zombies and the Slaughterer which will will spawn every 90 seconds.

SHIPPING ZONE

This alley is full of cover and contains 2xFlame grenades and a Rocket Launcher, the launcher while wonderful at providing support for your team has only 2 shots use them wisely, (a well done grenade jump in this area can provide early access to a later area but the cost of health may not be worth it especially if you've already been hit, besides only the humans are being kept out, nothing stops the zombies)


A well thrown grenade or some random bullets will free you to the new area (watch out that warthog can be lethal!)

PACKING

This zone nets you the best loot so far, with a Power drain, Trip mine, BR and SMG to help you survive the grueling 2 minute wait for a dumpster to get you through to the next zone, unless you can be cooperative... otherwise this is likely where you will lose most of your pack.



THE PRESS

A dull room with little to no cover and no weaponry were meant to stay here for a whole minute more with hordes of ravenous zombies out for our blood?
Haven't you ever played infection?
But don't despair this room has more than meets the eye, see that box in the distance? it is what i call the ammo press switch, think of it as a random weapon box without the random and fun for the whole team, upon giving the propane tank a good whack a pile of one clip weapons will be shot towards you, refills for all!

The room also contains the other 2 shotguns, one in the ammo press the other hidden, look carefully, it's fully clipped.


This is your gate to freedom and your best chance of survival, when the clock hits 3 minutes ( id make it longer but there are limitations) a cannon man will spawn, walk into the blocks and watch them fly, the cannon man is positioned
just so it wont affect you so don't get any ideas of an escape route, it won't work.

THE LAST STAND

Through the rubble you will find you have a choice, a ramp leading up to an elevated last stand zone and up ahead a truck containing the factory's last shipment as well as an office adjoining it, neither the truck or the office offer much in the way of protection, (in fact the truck is explosive) so you may want to grab some weaponry and then make a dash for the true last stand room. The trucks contents include 2xARs 1xBR 1xBrute shot frag grenades and spike grenades, the last stand room has a fully clipped Sniper and an AR.
The last stand room will put you more or less on par with the zombies with a height advantage and by now should have plenty of long range weapons to pick them off with.


OVERVIEW-ISH
I can't really do an overview because of the maps shape but let me try and explain, it takes a snaking route with two large areas and a variety of alleys using every part of Foundry except glitch areas so it is rather big, I personally recommend parties of at least 8 so there will always be more than one zombie
at all times.
Once again sorry about lack of picture here i hope you can put it together from the other pictures.

Hope everyone has as much fun playing on it as i had making it.

 

I can understand that you see it as sloppy and it is some places, but this was unavoidable because i didn't use an infinite money canvas, so i had to make cuts to visuals for game play and overall function.

 

Your probably right, but at this point in time i think as long as they don't affect game play i don't think i could be bothered to edit and update the post, but that aside thanks for from my point of view a positive comment

 

Fruitista, i can see your point of view but merging affects aesthetics not game play, theres a reason this is in the casual section and furthermore i can guarantee this isn't the sloppiest map you have ever seen, also you gave no suggestions or said where it was offending, what do you want fixed?
Better luck posting next time.
