    Compression is a remake of Trash Compactor. If you are unfamiliar with Trash Compactor, is was a game on Foundry where one Zombie would spawn and try to push things down a Tunnel to splatter people. The thing is, these things were accelerated by Mancannons. The game is always pretty fun, and its also downright hilarious.

    Because this is pretty much a remake, I'm going to show comparisons of corresponding parts of the map.

    This looks very good, I like the curved wall and I love these types of games. Very well executed and it seems like you can get a lot of sweet multikills on very fun gameplay. 9.5/10.

    Ah, trash compactor. Classic favorite. Its not very original because there is already one, but then again that's the only one I've seen.

    Concept is good, but one huge problem: The trash doesn't respawn. If you were to throw tons of stuff down there, people could just hide behind that and never die. I guess you could make gravity lifts to push people closer, but I'm not sure if that would work.

    Nice remake! The only thing I would suggest would be to take out the wall and add a barrier of teleporters at the end of the "splatter hallway" so that objects don't get cramped up in that "splatter hallway". The objects would simply fly out, and the players can't. The teleporters could either lead the ones unlucky enough to go through into a KillBall, or just bring them back to the "splatter hallway". Overall, great map. Pre-Play rank of 9/10. D/Led.

    Thanks for the comments guys.

    About the objects staying on the map after they fall...
    This is a remake, and thats how the first one was.
    I'm contemplating making something like this in the SkyBubble, but its going to only be a little like this, basically jsut the same principle, watch out for it.

    This is a great remake and its like perfectly forged. Im going to download this, but i rate it 8/10. I find that one of the fun parts of this the original version was that the humans space was narrow. Meaning it was alot harder to dodge...I played this with a couple of friends and we found that the area is way to big for our liking and that its very easy to dodge... Also... In this remake the humans and zombie can see eachother alot, meaning the humans know when to dodge and what he is throwing down...

    Wow, very nice. I like the curved floor and back wall, and the map looks genuinely much better and neater than the original map. The only problem with a sandbox remake is the lack of Sandbox objects that are movable. Even the small block is near immovable; only a vehicle like a warthog can move it, and weapons fire has no effect on it no matter what. Still though, they could get you some cool kills.

    Well done Chaotic!

    Yeah, to be honest this map is funnier than it is fun, but thats still good in its own right. I feel this map was kinda fail as far as gameplay goes, but just wait until I post Ameliorate.
    I'm running another makeshift test of it tonight, so send me an FR if anyone wants to see it :D

    Looks like a really good remake, just like the original except forged better.

    Btw someone in a hat WOULD get a splatter spree in a prowler.

    Hey, I tested this with you the other day and I see myself in the screenshots. The purple elite with yellow secondary, the one hiding under the barricade.

    The biggest problem I had was with the items at the edge up top.
    The ones that are stacked up against the wall are almost impossible to knock down the hole, make it easier and the game will play much better, in my opinion.
