    This map has been put together for an infection game (it may be fun with SWAT as well). The "humans" start in a large trailer parked in Foundry and must defend its multiple entrances from the "infected".

    The trailer has two stories. While the second story has the advantage of height, shields prevent you from shooting out the windows, increasing the importance of holding the lower floor. Entrances are on both sides, the rear, and under the trailer, increasing the importance of having teamwork and dynamic tactics to cover multiple entrances. There aren't any "super rooms" which force all infected to come through one entrance over and over until the humans run out of ammo--but there are also a few escape routes in case defenses break down.

    If you like the map, you might add my gamertag (petetheduck) and throw me an invite if you decide to setup a game on it :). Thanks for checking it out!

    Your going to need more screenshots and a more detailed description if you want downloads. I know you said you took more screenshots, but embed those too.

    Just the name made me wanna d/l this. The trailers look cool but it looks like the rest of the map is empty.

    That was intentional. The shield walls are supposed to protect the infected from being spawn camped, but outside of that there is no scenery outside the trailer. It is supposed to make it very clear to the humans to remain inside the trailer. Once they step outside, they are open to attack on all sides (while the disadvantage/advantage of this depends on your particular mix of infection gametype).

    I am very open to suggestions, though. If you get a group of people playing on the map and find something that might improve gameplay, please let me know :).

    I love the trailer. But if you still have budget, you should really add things to the rest of the map. Give the infected a small base(s) with multiple entrances/exits if you don't want them spawn camped. Put some scenery and some outside cover (just not too much near the trailer) on the map to keep it interesting. That run across open space if going to kill way more zombies than the second-floor shield doors protect.
