A remake of one of the best Quake 1 maps: DM6 - The Dark Zone. It isn't a complete replica. First, because we are playing zombie survival, not a deathmatch. Second, needed to get rid of teleporters. Third, and the most important, zeds can't do rocket-jumps :)

Features

  • The map has been shown at E3'2015.
  • Remake of map that was very popular almost 20 years ago.
  • Each area has multiple exits. For example central area ("OctaRoom") has 5 exits and 7 entrances. Camping is hard, but kiting is not easier, because:
  • ZED shortcut paths. While you can run around the area, zeds behind you can just use a shortcut and face you again. Tripwire's teleporting zeds worsens the effect of this feature. But when you are running away from raged [*]Scrake and meet him around a corner, then it doesn't necessary mean that he was teleported. Maybe he used a shortcut.
  • Descent visuals. I tired of ugly custom maps that have flooded this forums. So I spent a lot of time to make my map looking like a modern game not just some kind of Wolfenstein3D-like maze.
