"The clammy claw of the dead sets its cold grasp on previously untouched outskirts."
At the end of the road, you find yourself at the edge of the quarantine zone. Met with heavy resistance by military forces, your are left with no choice, and must hunker down and barricade the abandoned suburbs. With a hand full of shells and an intense will to live, you make your final stand.

Welcome to Necro Street
Will it be your salvation, or your grave?

Background
Necro Street was a small project that I started with a spark of inspiration that I had gained while seeing such maps as Undead Village rise in popularity. Upon downloading and trying out the map (Undead Village), I thought it was okay, but I could understand some fundamental problems with its formula. It was very easy for humans to set up shop in a small room, block the door, and with their infinite ammo supply, camp indefinitely. It created what I call "Unequal Access", where Survivor fun > Zombie Fun.
This went against my core beliefs in Infection map design.

Fast foward to months later. I began experimenting with techniques to make multiple, equally detailed structures that were at least of medium size. After a while of messing around I began laying the groundwork for what was to become Necro Street, what was then just called Neighborhood. I quickly realized this was my chance to take the Undead Village formula, revamp it, and make it cleaner and more enjoyable. I started by making every room have two entrances to maintain, giving humans only a finite ammo supply, that WILL run out eventually, and only 30 seconds to prepare. Trust me, after quite a bit of playtesting, this is what I found to be the most fun and fair. After forging away for hours, I finally finished my creation.

The Walkthrough
(*Note: the purple effect has been removed for these screenshots. Some of these screenshots are also mouseovers, so remember to scroll over each one!)

The map consists of four houses, identical in structure, parted in pairs by a mainstreet down the middle of the map. Each has its own backyard, complete with patio, table, grill, and some rock structures. I have provided a diagram below.

As you can see, humans spawn dead center of the street, with zombies spawning directly below them in a spawn room

Here is an overview of Necro Street, with a spartan for scale reference.

The heart of Necro Street is the Houses that line it.
