Concealment, originally named "The Graveyard" will definetely have a different feel to it then any other Infection map you have ever experienced before. With the playability of a maximum of 12 people, Concealment brings you the excitment of a Hide n' Seek map, with the feel of a not so Hide n' Seek map. The map is basically a rundown version of a construction site. I have been told that this is like "Help's On The Way" withought the help. The main point in this map that makes it obviously different then most Infection maps is that is is made well. The geomerging looks like that of a competetive map. The interlocking is wonderful, and the aesthetics are beautiful. This map is much different then most due to the zombies hiding and the humans seeking. It is a remake of the classice children's game "Ghost In The Graveyard" and does a very great job of it!

As you will notice once you load up the map, the spawn areas are different then any other map. If you are human, you will spawn on one side of the back hall in Foundry, with the zombie on the other side. You will also instantly notice these very well geomerged fence boxes. That warthog on the human side is purely aesthetics, and nothing else. Along with the other vehicles around the map. The humans will find that they are unable to leave their spawn point due to a dumpster blocking their path. Don't try to knock it over! It won't work! The reason that the zombie was let out before you is because this is "Ghost In The Graveyard" and in "Ghost In The Graveyard" the zombies hide, and the humans seek. Also, the clocks have not struck midnight yet and do so when the announcer goes "5 Minutes Remaining!" Once he says so, the clocks will have struck midnight, and the door will have opened. Don't leave this spawn point and you will be blown up later into the game. Leave this spawn point however, using the teleporter located beyond the dumpster and you will be teleported to one of the 6 reciever nodes perfectly geomerged around the map to prevent camping.

The zombies however have a different side of the story. The zombies starting point is very similiar to the humans. But this one is already opened, and all the zombies need to do is grab the powerup that they prefer, and find a place to hide. Once the humans are let out and you stat noticing them here and there looking for weapons, don't try and just run up and slice them! This is why this was labeled "Manifest: Help's on The Way Right?" withought the help. The zombies are tough, the humans are tough. Basicaly saying "Go for headshots on zombies, go for assassinations on humans!"

Think as if you are a real zombie though! If a human is camping in the back of the geomerged truck! Knock the truck out of the way! It might take awhile, but it's a lot better then jumping in at random along with the tons of other zombies he has killed! Or an even better idea would be to grab the custom powerup n' crouch walk in there! Just assassinate him when he has his back turned! This whole camping business would be a lot easier to take care of if you thought of this as a real d-day experience.

Final note, the zombies are un-campable due to them spawning up on the tops of buildings sometimes!

The creation of Concealment actually began a long time ago, way before the Legendary Map Pack was released, in my thoughts. In my mind, I had pictured a fairly open urban area with buildings all around, and corners to hide around. But there was one tree. Not just any tree though. This was the tree that the humans had to tag in order to be "Safe." This specific game was labeled "Ghost In The Graveyard" and in case you haven't heard of it, I recommend that you read THIS for a little bit of knowledge on the game. However, it is not necessary to read it. After a few months of thinking about how to make this map, I came up with an idea. Using my awesome forge skills, I have built the ultimate "Ghost In The Graveyard" map.

Hopefuly with all of your guys nice friendly comments I can proceed to making a v2. However nobody has told me that it needs improving. Leave comments that are helpful please, so basicaly saying: "Help me to help you! Help me to help you! Help me to help you!" Even some of the best maps ever have to under-go multiple testing sessions and tons of versions to get it just right. If you rate this map below a 5, I am going to expect you to tell me why!

The guards of the New Mombasa prison facility had been gone for quite a long time now, and the prisoners were getting restless. They were starving and hadn't ate in 3 weeks. They all jumped up to the sound of a loud "Boom!" that had come from the guard's quarters. They all hopped up onto the barrels sitting in their cells and looked out the windows.. They could see nothing at first, but over time faintly visible creatures whom appeared to be welding large claws began hopping around on the construction site like mad men. One of the creatures who had appeared to be the leader of them all had seen the prisoners began running towards them in a semi-fast motion, foaming out of the mouth. Chopping at the prison cells, the guards obviously were not human anymore. The leader of all these creatures stopped slicing at the cells and began counting in a soft but noticeable voice: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9... 10. Midnight's come and we want our food now!" The clocks had struck midnight and the door to the prisoner's cells opened. "Welcome to hell!" Shouted their leader. "Time to eat!"

2 Rocket Launchers - 120 Second Respawn - 0 Spare Clips

The construction workers soon found out that these weapons worked like crap against the zombies, but well against the ghosts. Who would have thought!?

4 Magnums - 20 Second Respawn - 2 Spare Clips

All around, the worst weapon in the map. Dispose of this as soon as possible, as it has a horrible rate of fire, and shoots only at close distance.

8 Shotguns - 45 Second Respawn - 0 Spare Clips

Very useful, but only against one zombie at a time, otherwise your most likely going to die.

5 Sniper Rifles - 90 Second Respawn - 1 Spare Clip

Giving these to your most skillful players will give the humans a great advantage over the zombies due to the whole "Headshot = Dead" thing.

6 Battle Rifles - 60 Second Respawn - 1 Spare Clip

I recommend you have this on you at all times, as it is good long range and short range due to the fact that is is very easy to get a headshot with it.

4 Custom Powerups - 30 Second Respawn

This is where I got the idea of a ghost coming in. Basically once you grab this, your a ghost. You become completely invisible for 90 seconds. But do be aware that this can cause you to be a 1 shot kill no matter where you are shot.

2 Active Camouflages - 30 Second Respawn

These do not last as long as the custom powerup but they do not have any downsides to them. You do not become a 1 shot kill and it is recommended that you use this if the human you are trying to kill is within a short distance of you.

3 Overshields - 30 Second Respawn

Due to the slow regeneration time of the human's shields. Grabbing this will heal you. Just think of this as a health pack.

2 Regenerators - 45 Second Respawn

These act as a much longer lasting version of the overshield, keeping your health regenerating for quite some time. Think of these as long term health packs.

3 Trip Mines - 45 Second Respawn

Bringing tactics into use during an infection game is one of the many twists this map packs. Toss this out basically anywhere and watch the zombies go boom!

3 Bubble Shields - 45 Second Respawn

Very effective if you already have a close range weapon on you. But do be aware that zombies can slash at you throught the bubble shield, but you can't shoot them through it.

5 Plasma Grenades - 10 Second Respawn

"You've got a spider on your face!" Let me just shoot it off with my battle rifle.

13 Frag Grenades - 10 Second Respawn
If you stick a zombie with this, I will praise your name. But for now, bounce it off walls to kill stuff. Nuff said.

I Highly Recommend Playing With 4-12 Players

Infection
This map is for fast paced gameplay that will always have a thrilling ending. The zombies use stealth to their advantage, and the humans use guns. It works out to be backwards hide n' seek where the zombies hide and the humans hunt for them. The humans have a lot of health! Like, "Manifest!" type health! That is why this is like Help's on The Way withought the help. So assassinate the humans whenever possible. For the humans however, I recommend finding a safe spot and camping there. Don't get mad when I say this and think that this map sucks because of this. Every spot has a back entrance. The spots are very cramped, and once the back door is opened the human will surely die.

Fun Facts:
There are 40 pictures in this map post. The Label pictures are cutouts from a picture of the northern lights. Each screen and action shot has the darkened edges effect that Linubidix used on his map post for Remedy. I spent 10 hours making this post. I spent 3 weeks making this map. I tested this map on a Saturday. I ran out of fun facts about here.
