Quote: Description:
A survival type map inspired by both Halo's Firefight and Call of Duty's Zombies that features custom weapons and bipeds

About:
After 7-long months of work, I'm finally ready to release my Halo Zombies mod, which is what I hope will be a multiple map series.

This map is called Dead Halls and takes place on a modified version of ratrace, although originally I was going to name it Hall of the Dead but I changed it because of having to type the name every time I started the map.

Some of the features of this map are:

Custom Zombie Marine Biped
Laser Security Fences
Three friendly Survivors to help you kill the zombies
Pack-A-Punch machine

Weapons:
M6 Magnum-Standard CE Pistol but is now a "true" semi-automatic
MA5B-Standard CE Assault Rifle but just more accurate
Flamethrower-Normal
Shotgun-Normal
Sniper Rifle-Standard CE Sniper Rifle but without a scope
Needler-Normal
Impaler-A semi-automatic needle rifle that fires a single needle that explodes without the need to supercombine
Raygun-The Raygun from Call of Duty
(Also features pack-a-punched versions of each weapon)

Custom Powerups:
Health-[Gold Medical Cross]-Healthpack
Max Ammo-[Gold Assault Rifle Clip]-Refills the ammo for your current weapons
Insta-Kill-[Gold Skull]-30 seconds being able to kill zombies with a single hit
Nuke-[Gold Bomb]-Kills all living zombies and gives you a 10 second breather

To start the game:
Use the switch on the far side of the room with the grunt.

To use the nuke and insta-kill:
1)After you walk over it, a weapon will be added to your inventory, an oddball(insta-kill) or a detonator(nuke)
2)Once you have it, just pull the trigger

To open the door to the Pack-A-Punch machine:
Press the three switches that are placed around the map

Oh, well. With Gamma927s point system it would have been really close to zombies. I deiced to blow off what I was supposed to be doing to try this. It was worth it. It was really fun. I think though that there were a few to many zombies.

Also if you could have them come in waves that would be good too. I too recommended a different BSP. You should look around Halomaps to see if you can find something a little better.

I liked all of the "upgraded weapons" I think that added a lot to the map. Also I think the crewman biped would be just a little more suitable for the zombies instead.

Just my thoughts.

This map is awesome!

GOOD:
-powerups
-lazer thingy
-Ray gun
-impaler
-the zombies
-pack-a-punch machine
-The elite with the energy sword was really helpful :)

BAD:
-You can't pause it
-the look of the impaler
-i can fall through the map when i go into the teleporter to pick up the raygun and a zombie appears (this might just be the bsp)
-too much zombies. yeah, you need to take some out.
-Raygun & Impaler animations

8.5/10. :)

Doesn't matter. Pausing is better. People like to pause. I like to pause. I pause, you pause, we all pause for iPause.

Oh, I thought that since this was a single-player map, it should be set to single-player. I didn't know that adjusting the map type would affect the menu.(This was the first single-player map I've made)

But yeah, all tags in my maps are either made by me, or were part of halo to begin with, the only riped tags I use, are ones taken from combat evolved's campaign.

ANOTHER BAD:
-It needs to show you what wave you're on.

Ideas and Constructive Criticism:

•There were a bit too many zombies, considering how open the level was.
I agree

•Maybe turn down their health a little. They seem a bit "armored," for decomposing dead guys.
Actually, the only reason I gave them more health, was so that you could really see the effects of insta-kill and the Pack-A-Punched weapons, that and I doubt metal armor decomposes at the same rate as a dead body.(unless you account for rust) But yeah I see your point.

•You need to swap out Sgt. Johnson for another player model. I'd suggest changing them all to Spartans, so as to avoid any unfortunate mix-ups between him and an infected Marine. It is dark in there, after all. >:P
True, but there is no friendly fire, unless insta-kill is on, but if he does die he will instantly respawn

•The sniper rifle wasn't very effective in a map this small. You could increase the clip size and rate of fire, while replacing the sniper rounds with projectiles from the Warthog turret.
Pack-A-Punch it. 12-round mag, same .55 caliber sniper round, fire rate of a BAR. But I will take that into consideration in my next map.

•The play area seemed ill-suited for Zombies. Chronopolis might be fun.
I know, but as I said earlier, due to a problem with max, I haven't been able to successfully export a bsp, so I tried to use a bsp that had not been over used, like Blood Gulch. But I will not use Chronopolis, because I do not use other people's tags or maps. I will only use it if I make it or it comes directly from halo. But, if I can get my hands on it, I would LOVE to use the courtyard at the beginning of the level outskirts from halo2.

•Different classes of zombie would be cool. Perhaps unarmored, weak, but somewhat faster zombies, as well as slower, well-protected armored ones. Maybe even throw in an infected Spartan or ODST every now and then.
Actually, I do plan on making more types of zombies: normal marines, crewmen, elites, and possibly spartans, grunts(I have a plan for these [insert creepy laugh here]), and ODSTs. (But only if I can get the 3d model and textures of the ODST direct from halo2, no user made ones)
