Introduction:
ZombieCraft is a mod heavily inspired by maps like Raccoon City. It contains two factions, Zombies and Survivors.

Gameplay:

Civilian Generation:

Every 30 seconds, neutral civilians spawn randomly on the map. This continues until they reach a certain population density:


The two player map Astral Balance, fully seeded.

Civilians can be rescued by the Survivors and equipped with weapons to reinforce their numbers:



Zombie players, of course, can kill civilians to limit humanity's numbers. Zombies are also capable of upgrading their units into more lethal forms by killing humans.

Ammunition:
Every human unit (apart from the Engineer) has a limited ammunition supply. When a unit runs out of ammunition, it will be unable to fire and will be marked in blue like this:



In order to replenish ammo, these units must reload, leaving them vulnerable to attack, as they are unable to preform any other actions while reloading.

Objectives:
Human players must survive for 20 minutes, until the military arrives to save them or Jesus descends down from the heavens to clear the zombie plague or whatever your imagination would like to happen.

Zombie players, on the other hand, must wipe out the Survivors before this happens.

This seems kinda epic ;o

Would you mind sharing some of the plug-in code for your mod? Especially the Kelvar Boost ability and Machine Gun's Deep Focus (how did you get him to slow down?). The Shotgun's ability and APC's is really cool too.

Where can I download this awesome mod?

April the first. Might be a joke, ya know?
Cannot say, though.

That was march 31st ;o

"kill all sons of bitches".... Remind me of Ellis inside L4D2.
