Dune Buggies v2

Made by: Prodigious 7k (vehicles, bridge, ramp and little man cannon things) and Master Jamster (zombie spawn room and tunnels).

This is the second sandbox remake of one of the first maps I made, ever. It was on Sandtrap and i made it way before I had even heard of the drive or die and hulk etc. maps which consisted of humans in vehicles running around Sandtrap, trying to get away from a super fast zombie with a grav hammer, Which is essentially what my map was.

I personally think my gametype is better than all of the other variants of this game I have played (but thats a mater of opinion) for one simple reason: the zombies actually have a chance . On some of the other versions the zombies died in one shot so one guy could hold off a horde of zombies for ages without stepping foot in a vehicle and being invincible while on a warthog turret, which was, horribly unfair and boring for everyone not holding the gun. My one is better in my opinion because the alpha zombie has normal health, bad camo and an overshield while the normal zombies have bad camo and normal health; Therefore giving the zombies a good chance while still being able to be killed.

I made this map because my first sandbox version got loads of stick for not having any structures in the map. So here is the new version. It contains many new features that where not present in the old version. I have explained these further down.

For those of you who haven't played the original, this is how the game works:

The humans spawn in an area above an assortment of ground vehicle, slit up by a blue light.

The zombies spawn in a box in the sky bubble.

After 10 seconds the 2 tiny blocks become a touch door (you touch them and the door opens). This allows the zombie to reach the teleporters on the other side...

...which go to one of the 8 reciever nodes dotted around the edge of sandbox (,the number of nodes makes spawn killing almost impossible).

The aim of the zombie is to kill the humans while the humans have to survive the zombies attack for as long as you can by driving as quickly and tactically as possible. The last man standing gets 4 points.

Below are some of the new features of version 2:

The man cannon jumps add a quick escape for the humans but also help the zombie by showing where the people are but also they can be used as a way to get very high to see the whole map to scope out targets.

The jump and the tunnels are also beneficial to both sides. The humans gain a way to hide briefly and get a quick boost, while if they miss the tunnel or crash the jump it gives the zombies an opportunity to kill them. The tunels can also be a good point for the zombies to ambush the humans.

The Bridge offers an alternate rout over the centre of the map for the humans while being a good ambush point for the zombies and, if the zombies knock them off the bridge they have an easy kill.

Vehicles on map:

4 Warthogs
2 Ghosts
2 Choppers
2 Prowlers
8 Mongooses

(All vehicles on 30 seconds respawn and all spawn at the start of the game)

Advantages of the Sandbox version:

Most of the map is in shade so the faster vehicles like warthogs and ghosts with lights can be seen more easily than the prowlers for example so there is no advantage to the people who go straight for the ghosts.
The map is the whole of Sandbox which includes the guardians area so the map is much much bigger than Sandtrap and with no buildings to crash into but massive dunes to jump over so allows more flowing while unpredictable and exciting gameplay.
The overshield for the alpha zombie is not as much of an advantage as on the Sandtrap version because it allows the zombie to be seen clearly against the shadowy border, however they can still sneak up on the humans by hiding behind the large dunes.
There is no possibility for camping in the buildings (as was a problem in the old version) because there are no buildings.

Extra information:

There is no honor rule as such, you can do whatever you please.
For a stylish kill why not board the humans or get into the passenger seat while you are a zombie (however, you cannot drive the vehicle if you are a zombie).
Map made by Prodigious 7k (me) and Master Jamster (who made the zombies' spawn box and tunnels).
The map will work with Drive or Die style gametypes but i recommended that you use it with mine for reasons I have stated above.
Plays well with 4+ players.
The last version had 2 placed on the map where you could be shot by the guardians, I have fixed that.
