    Description:
    Welcome to an area of towers and the outskirts of the town. Zombies are on the run and there isn't much to do about it. Defend yourself against all odds as your allies are picked off one by one in a map that camping has almost been eliminated. The base may seem safe, but using (what was new at the time) a special floor has been created that will leave you wondering.

    Notes:
    • The map was made strictly for Infection only.
    • The map was made specifically for that gametype variant.
    • There is little to no interlocking as it wasn't needed in most areas.
    • No, this is not a remake map of any sorts.
    • If you have any questions, you can PM me on B.net at CostlyAxis.

    Thanks for looking.

    Great post, I love that you have a video, a gif, and lots of pics, as well as a neat description. As for the map, I personally am not a fan of infection based maps, so I don't really think you want my opinion on that, anyways, great post.

    Oh, and:

    Way to fit a stereotype...

    You do know I mentioned that if you click them, a high-res 1920 x 1080 image will appear. I just didn't want the screenshots to take up space in my post.

    That's a shame, but thanks for the compliment. I made sure to have a video for my post since I didn't like the screenshots' point of view.

    The pictures are hard to see, but from what I see it looks fun. I notice that you didn't use very much to any at all interlocking. That is fine with me, but other might not think so. Is it hard for the humans to survive?

    I've switched out the screenshots with their higher resolution ones. I thought people didn't like huge screenshots taking up a post, so I had linked them with the smaller embedded images.

    If you're a good shot with the Carbine, Battle Rifle, or Sniper Rifle; you will score quite a few kills aiming for the head. However, the Zombie can attack usually from above, behind, from the left, right, front, and sometimes even underneath. Just aim for the head or else it's not an instant kill. That being said, you will probably die eventually.

    For the Interlocking thing, it wasn't really needed besides in the construction of the base, and a few other objects.
