Introduction:

Whilst not the strongest map in my Sandbox series, Insipid boasts something I've honestly never seen in any other linear infection map of this caliber... Length.
I'm not even kidding, playing this map with at least 4 people, you probably won't even make it to the Back Door (explained later) until your second or third try.
Length is one thing, but the way this map is built is also different from the rest of the series, and that is what keeps this map from being redundant to Abnegation.

Please excuse the lack of in depth description of the map.
I realized pretty quick that words wouldn't work out in this post.
So I feel the video below the action shots will suffice.

Anyway, I'm through talking.
Let's let the government have a few words:

Day 4, Entry 1:
We made it to the government outpost early this morning. The soldiers analyzed us thoroughly checking for signs of infection. I guess we all checked out okay because we were escorted to another part of the outpost. As I walked I looked at the faces of the soldiers hanging around. There was a look of surprise looking back at me. Are there really that few of survivors found that when a few of us walk in it’s like gazing upon a foreign creature? But as I looked closer at the faces the looks were not pleasant. In fact, some of the soldiers seemed offended at our presence there. Others looked worried. They looked as though they thought we’d attack them at any second; like we knew something they didn’t want us to know.
That last thing has pervaded my mind right into writing this. Why would you not be happy there were survivors? Is there something we know that we shouldn’t? Or worse, is there something we don’t know?
So many questions I want to ask. I know I shouldn’t though. I’ll just be lied to.
The others and I were put in small squad troop quarters for the night. I want to sleep and part of me knows it’s safe to sleep, but another part feels the need to watch. Watch to make sure the offended looks I saw earlier didn’t press their offense any further than looks. They scare me. The government scares me. They can do anything; they can be the most charitable organization but simultaneously commit acts of horrid treachery and render their victim nonexistent…
I think I just came onto something; something horrible. I hope it isn’t true, but I must know. I need to find the answers.

Day 4, Entry 2:
They say that if you go looking for answers you’ll find them, and if you find an answer you don’t like then you must live with it, but then you have to wonder if you were better off just believing something. Was some sordid fantasy easier to accept than the truth? This is the consequence that comes with knowing the answer, the policy of truth, so to speak.
I found the answer. A government manufactured the worst virus known to man, turned it loose on the general public so that society could self-destruct. But who’s to blame for this atrocity? The Russians? The Chinese? No. Our own government released this virus into a controlled area, this city, to test population control. Meanwhile, the government labels it a biological attack from a rival country provoking mass patriotism and war. The people will think that we need the government to prevent anything like this again on a larger scale. It’s a genius way to instill fear into the people to be quiet all the while giving the perfect excuse to conquer all and reject our freedoms.
It’s a beautiful plan in the grand spectrum. I suppose that’s why I’m so… level right now. Everything feels so clear. All the pieces are coming together in my head.
I need to get everyone out of here. They won’t let us live. They’ll kill us. Nobody was supposed to live.
That was the point.

POLICY OF TRUTH (VIP)

Government Procedure: You Get to Die

So... Guess the cat's outta the bag huh...
The big, bad government did something horrible to induce mass panic.
Who knew.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that you get to die now.
We opened the flood gates and what was once a safe haven is now crawling with those lovable guys who wanna bash your head in and devour the gray matter.

Suppose it's only fair that we, your benevolent government, give you a little advice as to what to do now.
Think of it as good sport.
There's a nice little pot amongst us as to how this ends.
Let's just say the odds aren't in your favor.
So do an old boy a favor and go out guns blazing... and if you're not the shooting type then by all means go out silently.

Government Sub-procedure: Level Playing Field

overview of the metro you'll be fighting through

Urban Jungle

The military base from which you must escape.
-Don't touch the columns or security features will keep it from opening-

ooh you may think you can camp there...

The church is home to another timed event.
-Don't touch it either.-
Hold out until 1 minute passes and move forward

the alter's calling

The next area (the construction site) is blocked by a locked door.
Get the key (power drain) at the top of the site and throw it at the door to open it.

hardhat zone

that one... locked... door

This is the skyscraper district.
There is a sniper located where which this place is themed.
Don't stay there though cos it'll certainly be the death of you.

impossible structures

The train station is home to a few more (well) hidden weapons.
Ascend the ramp to get to the...

platform 9 and 4 quarters or 10

Train tracks.
A very simple zone, but it is a straight shot for any zombies and/or tank.
Unless you are brave enough to traverse the flames you will meet your end here.

through fire and flames

But if you run through fire you'll emerge at the back door.
The final holdout.
It is your best bet, but once you get here there is no turning back.

knockin on the back door

If you just can't seem to find the way then here's a road map:

no... turn left

Actionish shots

whoa... nelly
