[turnbullTeRRoR]

Really trying to make this map fun/ balanced/ competitive So please humor my request for pub testing with players. Waiting SNC to SNC is just to long for a test that will net results. Hopefully some of you will be around tonight- opinions welcome.

Its a pretty fun map so far. Rotates are decently quick. Unique in design somewhat. Mid is a hotzone for sure. T's have discrete options for pulling back and rotations but everthing T side rotates thru mid making mid very important for T's to maintain. Ct's have lots of options to peek/pick mid though so its a hot mess which may be good or bad not sure yet.

Thanks I had been been looking for an idea for a new map for a while. Even as far as asking for people on this message board to give me any ideas they have. RATS RATS RATS all I get . I got some cheese for you guys Anyways I was cruising youtube and came across 10 coolest abandoned places and Gunkanjima was what inspired me.

Hashima Island has gotten a bit more press since it was in the new James Bond movie, its probably one of the creepiest places in the world. Someone actually made an L4D2 map of it, I dont know how good it is but definitely fits with the whole zombie thing. I like that they sent a guy through it with a cam so you can explore it in Google Earth.

yes it was actually not stupped upon in the movie though they built a fullsized set to replicate from the ground level and used aerial photos from above. The Japanese Gov wouldn't allow them on the island.

Yeah the whole thing is so decrepit at this point a film crew would have knocked the whole thing over...
