Welcome to the new & improved RocketBox Arena, where death can come from where you least expect it! The below picture may not look like much, but continue reading to discover what sets RocketBox Arena far apart from the thousands of other Infection maps/gametypes out there, and what makes it a fresh, and truly unique experience. I know it's a lot to read, but I suggest you read the whole thing to fully understand what this map/gametype is all about.

While the Humans spawn in the center of the arena, which is noticeably enclosed using double boxes, the Infected spawn in an enclosed section of their own elsewhere on Avalanche. Your job as a Human is simple: To survive for as long as possible. At your disposal, you have a magnum and a shotgun, both with infinite ammunition. In the arena, you will find 4 deployable cover equipment. And now, on to the "fresh, and truly unique experience":

As mentioned above, the Infected spawn in an enclosed section of their own (with a rocket launcher and an energy sword, both with infinite ammunition), mainly in one of the caves, with the only exit being a teleporter. This teleporter will bring the Infected to 1 of 8 randomly chosen locations, 7 of which are inside a double box, the same double boxes that make up the enclosure in which the Humans are trapped within. From inside this double box, you can watch as the Humans cower in fear as you fire rockets in their direction. In here, you are safe from Human attacks, in fact, the Humans don't even know which box you're in! To the Humans, it just looks like rockets are flying out of the boxes, but to the Infected, it's as if there is an invisible barrier keeping you from entering the Arena. If you cannot get an angle on a Human from this box, go through the teleporter again and you will either end up in another double box, or the 8th teleporter exit, which is located on a platform beyond the cliffs (pictured below).

From this location, you can still fire rockets at the Humans running around the arena, but be careful, they too can shoot at you. The Humans cannot get to this platform, nor can the Infected get from this platform to the arena (not yet at least).

1 minute into the round, it gets slightly darker.

2 minutes into the round, it get a little bit darker, and 4 custom powerups appear.

3 minutes into the round, your dream turns into a nightmare. A bubble shield equipment appears in the center of the arena, as well as an active camouflage powerup, and not only does it get even more dark out, but man cannons appear where the 8th teleport exit is (pictured below),

giving the Infected a way into the arena to finally put their energy swords to use on the remaining Humans. If you thought it was intense before, wait until the Infected are in the arena! Also, 4 flare equipment appears as well, to help the Humans light up the dark and spot the Infected who may or may not be in the Arena.
