Tank Run

Tank Run

Escort your scorpion armed vip through a barren, zombie infected path closer to the zombie's den. The farther you go, the more points you get.

Important Notes:

-2-16 players supported. Sweetspot: 3v3 - 6v6.
-THIS IS -NOT- A WELL FORGED MAP, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE.
-Zombies are called Snow Winkies, remember that.
-simmilar game: SkyRide

Gameplay

If you don't care:

Protect the vip from the Snow Winkies if your on his team. Drive the tank to the checkpoints if your vip. Attack the vip if your a Snow Winkie.

If you care:

It... usually... takes two round to get used to this game, one being attackers, another being defenders. Tank Run is like Cave Freaks, being that it is a vip/infection hybrid (the attackers have swords).

The zombies/attackers start on one end of avalanch, and the vip team starts on the opposite end. Only the vip can drive the tank, and they are slow so they don't have a choice. The vip's, team's, shields deplete if they are far from the vip, so stick with 'em. Their job it to keep the zombies of the tank to the vip can drive to the 10 checkpoints, that slowly leads to the zombie spawn, increasing difficulty as you go. Shown here:

The zomies are weaker than the defenders, but they respawn in three seconds and have recharging shields, defenders have slow recharging shields, and respawn after 3 minutes (the next round). This is because they start where they do normally, at their end; but they respawn where they fall off an edge, committing suicide, activating the penalty. Pretty clever, eh?

Strategy

Defenders:

The defenders get abour 15 seconds while the zombies are running across the map. During this time it is smart to get in the tank, let the players stand on the tank, because the tank is quicker than the players, and get a head start to the first checkpoint. The objective is always keep the vip alive, because he is the only one who can get points at the destination.

Vip:

If you are lucky enough to be vip, remember these things:
-you are faster than your team, wait for them, they will help you and they will die if they get too far away. Let them stand on your tank maybe.
-you have a big ass gun, use it.
-if a snow winkie is on you, let everyone know, they probably won't notice.

Attackers (zombies)

You are fast, light, your shield recharge fast, and you kill defenders in about two or three sword slashes. If there are many defenders around the tank, try eliminating them first, than go for the vip. If they are stupid, and they won't see you ripping apart their tank, you could pull an early victory. Sneaking up on the defenders is a great technique, especially because you have camoflaug.

Fun Fact: I was contemplating calling this game 'snow job'
The snow job is to get the snow tank down the snowie road while getting attacked by snow winkies; and there snow return.

Not much more to say... time for some
Screenshots!

Left Behind

Checkpoint 6, of 10. The most forging in the whole map is here, in a little perch, just to spice it up a little.

Ambush!

OH GOD HELP ME!

Checkpoint seven, farthest anyone have ever gone in this current version.

This looks awesome. This is unique and I like the idea of escorting the tank. I'm gona dl right now. 5/5

EpicFishFingers · 10-21-2008

Looks alright, but seeing as it's on Avalanche I'm assuming there's a tonne of filters turned on like nova and pen and ink. Oh well, it doesn't matter. Forging is minimalistic but the gametype looks very fun. I'll download once my 360 upload list has cleared...

pinohkio · 10-21-2008

looks kinda like cave freaks, i think that you shoul get a mod to move this to minigames tho because of the lack of forging and it looks really fun
for a casual map ill give it a 3/5 but if it was a minigame map id give it a 4/5

Lemons Reloaded · 10-21-2008

i like that you made another map that uses this unique gametype. the originality is great for having a tank escort on avalanche [good job lol]. thank god its not on rats nest for once! i tried it with my frends today and it was awesome [ only got to checkpoint 4 :(] awesome job on the post! keep forging! [lol sno winkies ;)]

Thanks for all the nice comments!

-EpicFishFingers - theirs no filters, as you can see.
-pinohkio - this is a casual map. 'Infection' 'fun in nature' anything a-ringen a bell?
-Dyepb07 - a wraith would definatly work. I chose the scorpion because it kicks ass, especialy with the new paint job.
-download links are fixed everyone, yah!
-yahtzee414"You need to keep coming up with this stuff." - Don't you worry about that

damn, that is some good stuff there, I love hybrids they include tons of epicness and new gameplay and that is very special, I'm gonna download now, great job, and it's a casual/mini-game map hybrid, not one of them, nice onezzz 4.8/5

FlipStik · 10-21-2008

Wow, you barely made anything and impressed me a whol Sh*tload! This game idea is incredible, the idea of ACTUALLY playing the right version of VIP (Escorting them) is just awesome! Especially with the fact that the "Snow Winkies" are able to sneak up on you makes it a lot better! Great job! 5/5 and Download!

I really love the idea of all this. It feels like you are protecting a general in the army. I am going to download and try it out ASAP. And because I think it is cool:

EDIT: The map and the gametype has the same download link.
