    Bill: looks like we made it... barely.
    Louis: everybody heal up, we gotta go!
    Zoey: guys hold up there's some supplies over here.
    Louis: oh yeah alright!
    Francis: Louis if you don't stop bein' all cheerful I'm gonna burn all the supplies just to spite you.
    Bill: shut up you two! We've got things to do.
    Zoey: right Bill, we still gotta' go through the park...
    Francis: I hate parks... And mountains... And the cops...
    Louis: what do the cops have to do with the park Francis?
    Francis: Well this one time I was in a park and these cops came by askin' if I was sellin'-
    Bill: Now's not the time guys...
    Zoey: What's after the park?
    Louis: by now maybe a safe zone? The military?
    Francis: What? The military!?
    Louis: yeah, they'll help us! ... Right?
    Francis: That or they'll line us up against a wall and shoot us.
    Bill: ... Maybe we should avoid the military...
    Francis: Especially the cops.
    Zoey: Alright let's go!

    ====================

    Hope you all enjoy the map, I'm currently working on part 4, and I'm open to constructive feedback.

    Also, there is a bug. Sometimes, the first holdout doors will get stuck. I couldnt find a fix, but the #2 door works fine every time.

    Just a word to the wise for next time. You might want to spoiler some of your superfluous photos. People don't want to scroll for five minutes to reach the bottom of your post and will probably lose interest in what they're looking at if they have to go through 50 pictures. 4-5 good pictures is really all you need to show people the gist of your map. More pictures could be put in spoilers to show "additional gameplay" but remember, you want people to see your game by downloading it. If they look at 50 pictures showing them everything there is no mystery to it.

    Edit:
    Still not quite what I meant...better but still too much. You really only need a few pictures to convey what you want people to know about your map. Having 20 spoilers makes it a bit easier on people looking at the page but you still have the same amount of pictures. I would really consider evaluating what pictures you find most accurately display the map and would "sell" it to the potential downloader. A few more pictures of some gameplay or provide a little more detail could be put in 1 spoiler or 2 but again don't over do it. Again, you want people to download the map, not spend 10 minutes reading your post and looking at all the pictures.

    Looks good, bro; keep it up. I only wish more people put effort into making atmospheric infection maps like these.
