Long Road Home

Concept by Time Glitch and Y4ZT

This map is an objective based Infection game that is worth hours of fun. Innovative and effective map design coupled with a fun and glitch-free gametype make this game a definite download for Infection buffs.



The name of the map says it all. For the zombies, this is a very long road to victory, and both sides need to work together effectively to win. The first obstacle the zombies must pass is the massive line of turrets. 7 turrets stand between the zombies and the humans, and if the humans are smart, the zombies are going to have a tough time getting past them. There is considerable cover on the map, but with very little damage resistance, the zombies cannot stay under turret fire for long. Luckily the zombies spawn in a safe haven, a sort of buffer zone between the outside world and the spawn area.



The two starting zombies in the spawn area.



The humans can come in and camp the spawn for a little while, but the double shield doors make this...difficult. Zombie spawn points litter this area, so this is not a reccommended technique for human survival.



A little camper ***** getting raped. This will happen to you.



Once you've cleared your spawn area of any campers who wish to be stupid, you must tackle the turrets. The best technique here is to hide behind the cover when you can, and travel in pairs. That way, you can watch all sides of the barrier you are on.



A Hyabusa Spartan chooses the way of the ripped off Plasma Turret.



There will be lots of turret fire when you first come out of the door, but once you hit barriers, things get easier. Progress slowly and carefully, and the humans will be yours.



Some zombies make use of the cover to plan their attack.



Human technique on this part of the level is fairly simple: Use the turrets. Of course there will be idiots who decide to rip them off and be gung ho about it all, but they will be quickly disposed of.



Well, it was fun while it lasted. Too bad you so stupid.


The humans are initially trapped at the turrets, but after a while, relief finds them. Aproximatley 2-3 minutes into the game, mancannons spawn behind the turrets, and Humans can retreat into an easier-to-defend room boasting the last human turret.



Waiting for the imminent attack.



At this point, teamwork becomes essential to both sides. Humans must guard the room effectivley, because a well coordinated zombie attack in this close quarters can be devistating. Zombies have the most work, however. In the tight quarters of the hallway, there's really only one direction: Directly into turret fire. Single attack simply isnt an option. Zombies must gather their entire team and surge in single file. If you have less than about 3-4 zombies, this game wont progress any further than this. Its almost impossible with any less.



Charge and hope for the best!
(They didnt make it)



If the zombies do manage to break the line and take down the turret, now would be an excellent time for the Humans to use the final part of the level: The Armory. In here you will find a series of shield doors providing some buffer zones, and 4 shotguns. This should last 2 people quite some time if used effectivley. If you're really smart, you'll have saved up a turret, and have some turrety goodness left for your final stand.



One man guards the door while his buddy grabs some shottys. Its gonna be a FUN end of the world.



And just when you thought the fun could never end, we get to the final task the zombies must complete: Taking down the pink juggernaut.



Pink Death.



Do not let his appearance fool you, for underneath this pink shell lies a powerful and dangerous zombie deathtrap. The Last Man Standing has an incredible ammount of damage resistance, and cant be taken down without a minimum of 4 zombies. He also has unlimited ammo, so trying to run him out of rounds isnt going to work. The only advantages zombies have are strength in numbers, and speed. The juggernaut is more of a tank, really. He moves at 25% normal speed, so running away is not an option. The only thing zombies can do is to gather in a pack, and simply rush to their deaths. Usually by the last few zombies, he's dead, and you've won.



Thats a lot of zombies, mate.



And guess what happens then? YOU GET TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!

I hope everyone who downloads this map gets a lot of fun out of it, and reccommends it to their friends. I can assure you this has satisfied hours of play, and theres still more where this came from. Thanks for downloading!



If there are any bugs you experience with the map, please report them to me. Here are some known issues that are a tiny bit annoying:

Barriers dissapear when respawning.

Last Man Standing has issues getting through the mancannons.

People are naturally douchebags, so people WILL rip off turrets and get themselves killed, depriving you of valuable time to defend the line until the mancannons spawn. Im sorry, but I cant fix that. If I put respawning turrets, there'd be no point to going anywhere else.​
