Zombie's map concept COMPETITION!

[Stop Mocking Me0]

ROLL UP ROLL UP! And PREPARE your EYEHOLES for the most spectacular event held on CODZ TODAY! 

Myself, @Stop Mocking Me0 one Mr. @Black Hand Smith, and one Mr.  @Nightmare Voyager 

ARE GOING HEAD TO HEAD IN A BATTLE OF CREATIVITY, WITS, AND CARPAL TUNNEL!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The name of the game is MAP CONCEPTS! To which the three contenders present their latest and completely original concepts 

TO YOU! 

Be sure to vote here for who you think is the winner of each category!

------------------------------------------------------

Rules: 

-Players are allowed to Showcase ONE zombies map, any maps attached to it (ie: Grief maps, Turned maps, Survival maps) are not to be JUDGED but can be submitted, only the main map is to be judged. 

-Likewise, the inclusion of the rest of the DLC (Multiplayer maps, new weapons, extra zombies maps that aren't related to the main one) CAN be included but must not be taken into the judges' decision making process. 

The map MUST be original, and can not be linked to any other previously published map by the same or any other author. However, concepts (jump-pads, denizens, wonder weapons,ect.) can be re-used from previous maps as long as they're implemented in an original way. 

All hail Hypno-Toad. 

And above all, the number one rule: Don't try to cheat the system, we know who's voting for who. Not that any of the contenders would cheat... 

 

 

The Categories are: 

 "Design" 

-Overall, just what map is the MOST epic in terms of eye-catching fantasticality. Something you'll aspire to note every tiny little detail and bit of easter egg in their writing. Be sure to look deep for tiny easter eggs with keen eyes for details. The SUBTLEST things could make all the difference in your choices. -

"Logic" 

-Looking great isn't everything: Weigh in your mind every possibility for each of these maps logically. How hard will it be to revive players? How hard will certain steps be? Will anything begin to get repetitive too soon? If there's a boss, or event, how will that actually effect gameplay in the first game and the fiftieth. -

"Casual Play"

-It may look super impressive with an easter egg and story, but what about players who just want to come in and have some fun? Do you want to play this map just for fun to get to high rounds? -

(Note: Due to the Polls on Codz only allowing for two possible polls to be taken, the "Casual Play" poll will need to be taken here:

Wouldnt it be fair, if all contestants had their posts up before voting starts? Its fine, if you can read the posts already, but atm people wont see the whole thing and might already vote based on whats in there already 

[Stop Mocking Me0]

NMV can post his map whenever he wants. Me and BHS put ours out early. He has til the end of today (11:59 PM) to post his. In the meantime feel free to browse BHS's map and my map,

In my opinion, Curse of the Lycan earns Casual playing, because the other maps I think are too complicated for normal zombie players. I also think it has a great atmosfear, looking to the graveyard and the creepy dark city.

Forge earns Design, it is very well designed, with worlds built on other worlds and that whole backstory.....wow.

But for me, a zombie storyline fan, the best map is Within, and earns Logic.

The story continues and the O4 and a long expected place return: Agartha, the hollow earth.

However, I think this map would be too large.

When someone's down at the other side of the map, you could be too late to revive him (tombstone soda?).

But for all the world designers: Great work!

That's why the sacred stones are in place. You can easily access the other side of the map in just a handful of seconds obviously there's still issues with this, just like there is in SOE, but I think for the most part it's not as bad as tranzit.

Likewise, each area is designed for group travel, offering plenty of places close enough to each other for any camping or training needs. 

 

Thank you for your feedback!

Well done, all of you. These clearly took a ton of work, and I hope they get the attention and response that the amount of work merits.

Seriously impressed by how thought through and thorough all of the different features were in each map, and they each have their own pros and cons.

I found it interesting how some of the different features were very similar to each other (killing zombies to activate perk machines, for example) maybe we'll see stuff like that in future DLC :D one can only hope

Y'know, you should post this where it belongs (Zombie Labs), but otherwise, GG.

(I'd have finished, too, but I had too much to do on it for it to actually get finished... xP)

The posts are in zombie labs, but considering the "general zombie's" section is more popular and this IS general zombies discussion. Just saying. 

[Stop Mocking Me0]

This post it's self is not a concept. Ergo, it doesn't belong in the labs.

Well, looks like I've won 2 out of 3 of the sections.... 

 

Not that it really matters much, only one guy voted in one section. I swear, it wasn't me. And in the other two only 3 people voted. 
Good job NMV and BHS, now that the competition is over, I'm going to fully review your 2 maps.

I voted on both, choosing you and Smith in that order

[Stop Mocking Me0]

I didn't vote at all. 

Thank you NV!

I likely should report this bug that I can't actually see whoever voted for who despite that being the setting I put into the poll.... Pitty.
