Custom Map Locales?

[lerlerson]

Hey guys, it's me again. If you don't recognize me, I asked what kind of maptypes people would like to see for custom maps a while ago. Well, now I'd like to know what kind of areas or locales you'd like to see done. If I see an idea I like, I might add it to my 'To Do' list for when L4D comes out.

(By the way, don't say mall. Please. We all know a mall would be awesome.)

I'd like to see something like a ravaged Vegas. That would be cool. I might do that, but we'll see.

[DeMoNsXWiThInnX]

An amusment Park, a Boat, Ravaged Vegas ;D

An amusment Park, a Boat, Ravaged Vegas ;D
I was thinking about a map that starts on a large boat, working your way out, then on a beach, then a desert... didn't know where to go from there.

An amusement park would be so many levels of epic I don't think I'd be able to contain myself.

Glad you like my Vegas idea.

[DeMoNsXWiThInnX]

I was thinking. What about a museum? think about it, So many rooms and floors in a museum it would be hella crazy.

[pkerq32]

Tesco extra = D ...

[Z2ato]

Springfield, Home of The Simpsons.

[Oblivion165]

Something arctic.

[Hauger]

- Mall.
- Airplane in the air. Big size, like the Airbus. Where we escape by parachuting.
- Some little island. We have to exterminate the infected, so we can live there.
- Boat of some kind.
- Some where in Alaska. Last survivor stronghold.

[specter02147]

DOTD (original) mall

[LastZombieStanding]

1.)Prison
2.)White House
3.) Army Base like the pentagon or something
5.) Golf Coarse ( running zombies over with golf carts would be sweet!)
6.)A High School
7.) Dance Club
8.)Casino
9.) Your moms house :)

[ucdeath]

how about traped inside a submarine (you could escape out the torpedo tube :D ) traped in a moon base. traped in a mining complex or steel works. owwww i know how about traped in hell with fire and caves and shit. its all good.

[Jakpower]

lol how bout a small island where u dont escape u kill zombies till ur dead

[BaldingSteve]

Only one thing I really wanna see, and if you do it I'll help.:
The Village from Resi 4, and the Castle, and the Island.

[lurk4dead]

a really large passenger train going very fast, where you start at the end and the finale would be to like disconnect the cars once you get to the front

[e mod]

a lab where the infected are in test tubes and slumber pods...and stuff...yea that would be cool

[gothichorror13]

A SINKING CRUISE SHIP! =P
Edit: Resident Evil Mansion

[lawlhat]

I like the RE 4 idea. The amusment park would be great. I was thinking along the lines of an isolated town :D

[Stupoider]

A SINKING CRUISE SHIP!

Agreed.

[awdrgy123]

a Wal-Mart where you have to go to the guns section to find... well you know and have a journey to get to the top of Sams Club where you find a helecopter to get away.

[Johncandy12]

The hills have eyes theme would be cool ^_^ just make it where player can't go in some small holes in the canyons so the director will spawn the zombies inside of them.

To escape you must fight your way through canyons and tunnels until you reach a safe house where they stored vehicles(:P i like the idea since it makes sense)

hopefully if the sdk is updated to have better nodes make it to where a tank comes crashing through a boarded off mine to stop your pitiful escape >:P

[armored cow]

A SINKING CRUISE SHIP! =P
No no no...it's "A Cruise-freaking ship!!"
lol..who was that? Eddy of the dead?

[Johncandy12]

I noticed in one of the trailers of l4d some infected tried to climb up a fence, but it was owned in the face by Francis.

If they can in-game, maybe make the underground parking garage like the one in Dawn of the Dead.\

I think there was a scene where they held up in an old supply section of the garage(this was made of nothing but fence) That would be awesome to have it pitch black with your team having to guard every side of the cage or become over run.

[Nemesis_vs_Leon]

the Titanic and you finish it just as it docks somewhere then you get off and escape in a tank or something.

[Johncandy12]

Or make a make a map of a Disney Cruiser, Walt had one last wish in mind xD

Fight until you reach the dock ^^^^^^

[Jesus123]

How about a underground base? You start off there and must fight your wat upwards. Once on top everything is destroyed, buildings, cars, and radioactive waste is everywhere so you have to stay with in a perimeter. Then you get a shit load of infected to rape you.

[L33T CaBoOsE]

a cemetary its just to make u think scary because infected arnt the undead

[Darkforrest]

i would like to see the desert in iraq or iran first u start in a shack somewhere then you get to a military building then you get the truck from the cornfield map then you go to 2 other places until you find a radio of some sort to call a helicopter XD

[Shrubberyjsc]

Cruise-freaking ship!!

Damn, beaten to it.

Time for Eddy to come out of hibernation for two minutes so he can comment.

*Insert obligatory comment about thread being done 17 times before, with poll*

[Johncandy12]

Depending on how the infected behave, make a super center (w/e) with blocked off doors n such.

Then have it where the infected break them down, after all of the defenses are gone.

Well... fight until you die.

[Jesus123]

fight until you die.

No happy ending there D;

[Johncandy12]

No happy ending there D;


lol the story of every other zombie type movie

maybe an escape to the roof O_o

Son of a bitch! You've been lurking the chat stealing my ideas, haven't you!?

Thats exactly what I said one time on the chat, minus the bad grammar!

*strangles lurk4dead*

[gothichorror13]

the Titanic
yea while its sinking so u have to making it to a life boat and u survive
and then u find another ship abandoned and it has a radio in the Bridge and then u defend the bridge from the infected =D

Nice one, Omega. First time I've ever seen someone do that. o_o

[Omega Man]

Thanks. Thought it was finally necessary. ;)

[Steve Cloud]

So...what you're saying is...

We...shouldn't make new threads?

That blows my mind.

[Johncandy12]

LOL funny thing about those threads, after so many pages of posts or age people begin to ignore what more than half say.

They become glued to their ideas instead of others making a big thread useless.


Also, shaun of the dead bar would be kick ass if it was pulled off right.

[armored cow]

Time for Eddy to come out of hibernation
Where did he go? I haven't seen him on here in months.

[Steve Cloud]

Where did he go? I haven't seen him on here in months.


Probably on his military training thing.

[gothichorror13]

Where did he go? I haven't seen him on here in months.
yea i no right

[Xaos Falcon]

I kinda want there to be like, a mine or something, where you start off in a little shack at the entrance, and when you leave a BALLSLOAD of infected spawn around the place, and the only way to survive is to run into the mine entrance, and then there can be like, a big fence or something, and when all the survivors are through, you close and lock the fence, which might take some time with the chains and stuff, and you have to cover each other, and you keep running into the mine, and it's basically like a big tunnel that zig-zags around with barriers every now and again, and sometimes the infected come from the front, just to mix things up, and then it's basically like you're running from a wall of death, and you can hinder its progress by closing fences and doors, and maybe blowing something up to colapse a part of the tunnel. That would be totally epic, and one or two survivors could be left behind to buy the others more time. That would probably be Louis. And then at the end, for the finale there's a big service elevator heading to the extraction point where the helicopter is holding off the zombies. You then basically defend the elevator until it arrives.

Another scenario for the finale might be that when you get on the elevator, it's already working and you start going up, which would have taken like a minute if the zombies didn't start attacking the elevator cables. The zombies might jump on the roof and attack the vator engine thing or whatever, and then the survivors have to shoot the zombies off and repair the cable/engine. And they have to get to the surface in, like maybe 5 minutes or something. That would be cool.

I know the idea of not having dozens of duplicate threads on every subject, can be very mind blowing at first, yes, but just give it some time, man... :D

[Johncandy12]

Xaos Falcon

That's pretty deep thinking you got there.

Sounds cool though.

Its just that...everything I've ever known... its been a lie...

*strangles lurk4dead*

*removes deathgrip from throat* First: lol about the cake. Second: I always thought the train idea was sick so i guess great minds think alike. Third: I have another suggestion about the train. Maybe the first section is clearing the train while it is immobile. Second section would be defending the train after starting it like a defense finale. Final part would be to disconnect the train cars.

How about a map where you start off in an apartment that is well-defended, but then the 'nuclear strike' warning alarm plays (you know what I'm talking about, yeah?) and you have to run to the train station to get away, and then get on the train and clear to the front to start the train, and then... well, I dunno where to go from there, actually.

It is a pretty cool idea, so whatever.

Also, I think you shouldn't get on or off the train, that way, you can have it so the map is only as long as the train is and you just use a looping background or something.

Unless the map has specific major events, like maybe a crescendo event as you cross a bridges hundreds of meters above the ground but right after it goes back to looping background town.

[Infest0125]

How about in like an African Tribal village?

[DeMoNsXWiThInnX]

How about in like an African Tribal village

Lol. Like Resident Evil 5 O_o ?

[BlackScorpion22]

A chinatown style map. the only thing scarier than a fast zombie is a fast short zombie!!

[Johncandy12]

A map made as though a haunted house(soecial effects such as books flying and weird happenings)

Rotted wood boards,blood on the walls,and zombies at every turn.

Can't go wrong :P

[Keptron]

- In a soccer place D:>
- Military HQ
- Prison like of the game called The Suffering
- Forest with a military HQ
- In a big house :3


THIS IS WORSE THAN THE CAKE... THIS IS MADNESS!!!!!
NO! THIS IS SPARTAAAAA!!!

Rotted wood boards,blood on the walls,and zombies at every turn.
The AI Director will think about it :< As it spawn the zombies :\

[Blackmist]

Many good ideas of mine and others:

SHADOW MOSES FROM MGS1!
Small, Rural Town
MALL OF AMERICA
The Vegas Strip
Cruise Ship
Woodstock Festival
Baseball Stadium
Cemetery
Military Base
Ancient Irish Castle
11th Century Europe
London
Disney Land/World
Casino (Las Vegas)
Tokyo
St. Petersburg (The architecture there is AMAZING!)
Near and in the White House
Prison
Murky old Mansion

I'll add more as I see fit.

[Steve Cloud]

Canyon level! It'd have a bunch of narrow bridges, long drops and plateaus.

Hooray.

[arsis]

Some type of cave system, like the antlion tunnels or something.

[Steve Cloud]

Some type of cave system, like the antlion tunnels or something.

Maybe you could combine the Canyon with the cave system...

The caves could be natural but with man made parts because its also a tourist attraction.

[arsis]

I do believe that would be the best set of maps for l4d imo.

Mmyes.

[Chimainia]

traped in a mining complex
For sure.

[left4deadx10]

id have to say a hockey arena/complex that would be sweet seeing zombies hopping over the seats and maybe some falling down? or slipping on the ice chasing you? but seriously an arena like that would be awesome for a SURVIVAL mode maybe you would be able to pull it off as a full level, because my complex is pretty big.
