This map has been on quite a journey... I started work on this map in July of last year and after three weeks of working on it every day I submitted it. It was by far the biggest map project I had ever worked on. The map got trialled in August and it ended up being scolded at, beaten up and ridiculed. I rushed in to try to provide bandaids and antidotes but to no avail. Eventually, I threw in the towel and let the map rest for a few months...
...until a few weeks ago. I started to redesign the entire map while trying to retain some authenticity to the real game. I have listened to all the criticism and have applied the following changes:
* The map is much, much shorter. I have removed A LOT of rooms and the entire course can be completed in ~4 minutes if you don't fall.
* The invisible blocks aren't truly invisible anymore. Instead, they have an animation that shows up every few seconds so the players know where the barriers are.
* There is only 1 path; no multiple paths and no secrets anymore. People got really confused on the old version. This version is more like a standard course map.
* No more 1 block wide paths; no more portal doors. No more chokepoints. All the areas are also directly connected to each other now.
* The entire map can be completed backwards without having to fall.
* Since it is still a long map, there is no portal back to spawn at the end anymore. This is to make it more fair for zombies. If a zombie reaches the end, humans will have to try to outrun the zombie by trying to complete the course backwards.
I really hope you all will enjoy this map this time around. Again, this is the biggest map project I have worked on thus far. I know some of you don't like course maps, but my goal is for this to be an enjoyable course map regardless.
