Cave Freaks

Cave Freaks
Created by Insane54 and Shock Theta

Gametypes Supported: Cave Freaks
Recommended Players: 6-12

Cave Freaks is a map unlike any other, it relies on a gametype that is very much like an infection/VIP hybrid. The gametype allows for one of the most unique and compelling experiences possible, it makes the game function less like a point to point rush, and more like an epic struggle for survival between plane crash survivors and the "cave freaks."

The maps construction lends itself heavily to the way the gameplay functions, as it implements forging techniques and ingenious map design to build a truly believable atmosphere regardless of whether you are a cave freak or a survivor. The way Insane and Shock have utilized the "Spawn at Start: No" function is almost revolutionary, it is what allows players to advance from some spots, and blocks their retreat, which can be as much of a help as it can be a hindrance.

As this map is very complex, it is highly recommended that you read the walkthrough in the original thread or watch the video (below).

Overall, Cave Freaks has allowed for a truly original style of gameplay, which can be considered both casual and competitive, purely dependent on how you decide you want to play.

Lawlz, I knew from the first game I played on this that it'd get featured. This is THE BEST mini-game to date. I don't care if you think otherwise, because you're wrong. :P (jk, it's my opinion...) But yeah, even if this wasn't made by Insane and Shock then it would've been featured non-the-less. This mini-game is just so epic, and so awesome that it's in a league of it's own. Great job on the map but could use less interlocking. 5/5 anyways though!!!1!!!1 (<-lawz)

Oh my tits, I can't believe you geomerged on Avalanche. This looks like a very, very fun map+game variant. I will definitely have to DL and try it with some friends. It's awesome that it's got the floatin' cave scenary as well as access to the rest of the actual mapl. Avalanche has always been one of the best maps for infection.

And I still can't believe you geomerged on Avalance!!!!!

Lol, it's not that tough...I have a featured map with geomerging on Rat's Nest, that was tougher. And one in the works with geomerging on Standoff.

It's about time this was featured. I guess it's been a long time since we had a featured mini-game map; I was getting tired of so many competitive map. So many hours of testing to make sure this map was ready for everyone.

The game play for this map is amazing and the interlocking for this is also great. Even through this map was released a week or two ago I think they waited to long to feature the map.

I'm surprised that Insane54 or maybe Shock Theta didn't feature it themselves, but I bet they one of them did write up the featured post. Congrats on the map Insane54 and Shock Theta. Both of you I bet worked really hard on the map.
