I guess little update to this.
Added Scar-H
Completed zoning and zombie spawns.
Zombie pathing 98% done. Just a few spots to touch up.
Randomized spawn locations of keys for lockers.
I've decided not to add nova crawlers to this map as it's already difficult enough without them crawling around.
An easter egg is being written for the map. The easter egg will not have anything to do with beating the map. That wouldn't be an easter egg if it did. That would be undefined objective gameplay, but no one in the zombie community seems to realize that. The map will be beaten through other methods. Doesn't mean the reward for the easter egg won't be worth while if all goes according to plan.
I've also thought of adding another new perk. Will see how testing it goes, then decide what happens from there. Could be a helpful little perk for people that like to go down.

Really all that is left to do is the ee and set up the end game. After that I can start giving it out to my testers and finish up the detail while they try to break it. Quite possibly when it is done and released I will convert it to backlot 1942 for multiplayer.

This is turning out quite well, I'd have to say I'm looking forward to this, as I am a huge Backlot fan.
This map brings back some good memories

Meanwhile I dont even remember half the maps from COD4.

Those lockers remind me of the intro area to fooy's Panic Center nice job, looks great so far!

A little intro to the map I decided to write up just now

Beta Release 1.0 is being rolled out to my testers as I type this.

I've added the new perk to the map, "Devil's Deadly Dagger". The perk will double the damage of melee attacks, but it comes at a price. You will no longer receive the melee bonus for getting a kill with a melee attack. With the Bowie knife, it will be 1 knife kill to around round 21. The shader was made by QueenxWolf.

Challenges have been updated. There are now 6 challenges. The challenges still only needs to be completed by one person for everyone to be able to get the reward, however now each individual can go get the reward whenever they want. The reward can also be obtained again if you loose it from going down.

I've also added a hardened mode. The map will automatically default to this mode if you don't change the difficulty at the main menu. Hardened mode will set your points to 0 when you spawn, increase the zombie spawn rate, increase the health of the zombies, and give lower points for kills.

I updated the rpk to use correct reload times from black ops since everyone here thinks reloads are better than blow jobs and wants them to last forever.

I've given SoloCustomZombies permission to upload the Beta to YouTube so you will probably see gameplay of it there soon. I believe he is also going to be making the loading screen for the map as well.

I also decided not to use that Treyarch music from the bo2 menu for my menu. Instead, this is what I have decided to use.
There is probably some other stuff I've forgotten to mention but I really don't remember.
I'm going to be getting a bit busier this Monday, so work will slow down on all maps I am currently working on including this one. This one is pretty much done though. Just more detail to be added and the easter egg that I have not included in the beta so that it will not be given away before the final release.

i dont know why, but i have never read this WIP. You have some incredible ideas and features, hopefully you can realease soon 

Great choice of menu music - it's perfect. Map looks beautiful in those pictures, I really dig the overgrown feel you've given to Backlot. Amazing job, looking forward to playing it.

Awesome ambience

In my opinion this extra melee damage perk, part of the enticement to buy it would be the fact we get 130 points per kill, if we don't get that then I wouldn't be enticed to get it.

The only enticement I need to get the perk is that if I get cornered it could save me from going down.

And it takes up your precious perk spaces, you only have 4 unless you've changed it.
I really would probably never buy the perk unless I'm just rolling in cash.

WaW doesn't have the 4 perk limit.

I don't think that's what he meant

It takes up your perk spaces? You only have 4? Unless I changed it? How is the 4 perk limit not what he meant?

What I think he meant is that you decided to make this map have the standard 4 perk limit just like the regular zombie maps have
