Mapper: sethnorris
Setting: Abandoned boarding school, that is now filled with undead, that are roaming around, eating all that is living and walking. You are given guns, perks and traps to aid you, but can you survive Dr Schuster's experiments?
Pros: The map looks stunning, from all the small decals in ground to architecture wonders, this map doesn't leave any corner undetailed. Lighting has been done perfectly and really gives that vibe of being in abandoned building.
Weapons are on point with normals/speculars/cosines, they really fit the map and are on same level with detail of map.
Unique boss. We have not seen any perk stealing bosses yet in custom zombies (in proper maps atleast) and having the boss look like Hitler? Map maker must have been insane to bring this guy alive and stealing your peace of mind. The boss looks epic and I am glad it was brought into experience.
Ambience music. Mapper didn't stop with making the map look good, he also made it sound good. Custom round sounds, looping ambience music and FXs having sound is where its at.
Buildables. Gives reason to search around more thoroughly rather than seeing wallgun in wall, buying it and moving to next room.
Cons: Even though some stock guns fit the map, they could have been replaced with some custom counterparts. For example, Type 100 could have just been left out, since there is Sten in the map already.
Stock + Black Ops 1 perks. Nowadays seeing map with these perks only gives me less excitement. I love to see BO2 perks or custom perks in custom maps, as long as they are not broken to hell.
Grabbing zombies, the nuisance of World at War, is present in this map. Almost nobody likes it, but it brings challenge (unneeded challenge though)
Conclusion: Must play for people that are thirsty of some old-school zombie killing and ambience. Easily could have been new DLC map for World at War or better, for Black Ops 1 (due to lighting being so much better than stock WaW maps)
