    Map
    Fire Lane

    This map goes along with Stop The Spread(below, link and description). This map is a elongated, tunnel-like, enclosed space. On one end, the last stand of a few humans that survived the initial outbreak are taking hold. There are a few scavenged weapons and equipment (granades have 30 sec respawn, weps about 45). There is not enough weapons for everyone (if big party) so one must choose wisely. There is not much cover, so one must use it wisely. There are some explosives scattered about, mainly from what was found in a military convoy. There is not much time before they break through.(30 secs from start zombies can get through) They have broken through. The end is near. The other end has the many holes(portals) that the infected have managed to make. It is never known where they might come through. There are so many of them. The zombies are fast(300%). They almost cant be seen. They are smart. They are learning. They are getting closer. Closer every time. They will win. it is just a matter of time.

    The zombie end of the map has receiver nodes on one channel while the rest of the two way nodes are on another channel. The sender nodes (three side by side on each end of the hallway in the base) are randomized channels. Depending on which random place they appear, they may end up going through a two-way node and coming out somewhere else, making it hard to track the super fast infected.

    25% of the area is infected. There are an estimated 6 days before supplies run out. (6 rounds, 6 minutes per round) Then, It will be GAME OVER for the last, the pround, the few. They will be one of them. They will be one with the many. The last survivor of his now gone comrades, fights with super strength and tries to give his all before he is finally infected like his comrades. (2/3x overshields, regen granades as last man standing)

    Gametype
    Stop The Spread
    This is infection with six 6 minute rounds. The zombies have no shields but have swords and %300 speed. They go through the teleporters in their spawn area after 30 seconds into the round. The humans spawn with a magnum and a battle rifle. This is a very fun gametype and map that you will enjoy.

    The gametype is <a href="http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=15446351">here</a>

    In one recent <a href="http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=193474551">game</a>(with about 12 people), one person got an Invincible and there were two Killionaires!

    Above is some action. (very small compared to what can really happen on this map.)

    More action below.

    Above is a lucky shot considering the 300% speed of the zombie, or just uber 1337 skillz.(not me lol)

    In the above picture, the yellow guy (spartan and dead) in the corner was just killed about a second (probably less) before this picture was taken which captures the extremely lucky laser kill of the zombie that killed me only a split second before. Believe it or not, MUCH crazier stuff happens. Often.

    I ran out of room and couldn't take any more screenshots. I also think I might have lost the game. Oh well. I hope these help. I really hope that you guys like this map and gametype. Please give feedback. As long as you are honest with the feedback, I will be happy about whatever you say. =] I would love to hear what you like, think, dislike, think should be changed, or think what should be improved. I wish for this map and game to give everyone a lot of enjoyment for a long time. Thank you just for looking at this post. Can you stop the spread?

    I was thinking the same thing. That guy was facing that way only a small fraction of a second before taking the shot. I wish I was THAT good with the laser. He has some serious skillzzz.

    I don't know what you are trying to say ROC bioflame, but I have been waiting to make this map for at least one month prior to making it. It was also the first map that I made after getting the new ones.

    Rockstarkin he is not saying you copied anyones map, it is completely original but gravedigger published a map called fire land on the pit that was pure fire grenades and flamethrower. This looks original you just might want to consider a name change.

    really nice map, i had a chance to play it earlier today, the jumbled objects seem to clutter the human side, but i guess that makes sense given the story, again, really fun to play :D

    Re: Fire Lane (Infection:Stop The Spread)

    That's good. I was not aware of that. The reason that I decided to name my map Fire Lane[color] was because it was a long lane(or tunnel) where there would be a lot of fire(shooting, granades, muzzle flash, etc. you get the idea). I am very thankful for all of you commenting, rating, and most of all, downloading and enjoying my work. After I get done with my current project (9 hours in two days running)(or during a break) I wouldn't mind getting together and playing a game or two of Stop The Spread on Fire Lane[color]. I could use a little fun since this is exam week and a little opportunity for some screenshots. Hopefully, I'll see you guys/girls around soon and/or often!
