Hectic Highway




"Although this road may look simple at first glance, your eyes often lie. Made by TGB. 6 - 8 players"

Download Hectic Highway
Download Joy Ride


*Keep in mind, this is my first post, but is most definitely not my first map!


What is "Hectic Highway"?
Hectic Highway is a fun infection mini-game based on Fuel Rods and Mongooses. One life for all. Two minutes. Ten rounds. Pure fun. Blocks prevent people from falling off, then ten seconds in to the game, ramps spawn. The ramps push the blocks under the map, keeping the ride up smooth. The ramps bring the players up to their specified tracks, where the drive. For the Zombies, one drives, the other shoots with the Fuel Rod. Their goal: prevent the Humans from reaching the end.
Of course, every game has cheaters. Thanks to "No Cheater Technology"™, if you try staying at the spawn, a Kill Ball will spawn. If you want to take the track on foot, either Zombies will get you, or your slowness wont beat the two minutes. Even if you do make it all the way, teleporters at the end of the road will send you to your death. And, if you are a Zombie, and you purposely jump off the edge, you will lose ten points.
I had a few goals for myself while creating the game:
-A game fun for Humans & Zombies
-An orginal concept
-Teamwork is a necessity
And I think I reached all of these.

Gametype Info:
"Joy Ride" is fitted for the map, "Hectic Highway". Joy Ride is required for proper play of Hectic Highway. One life for all, 25% speed, 200% gravity. Magnums for all, but Zombies will pick up the Fuel Rod, though.
-10 points for suicide, -10 points for betrayal, 1 point for a kill. Humans deal no damage. All players can drive vehicles. Custom Power-Up settings include, but is not limited to: Instant Kill, 100% speed and gravity, and black in color.

Pictures below:


Special Thanks:
FuzzyMcDoodle: An AMAZING guy who helped make the map, and take the Action Shots. Without him, this map would be impossible to make.
TheGreatSharkie, TheGreatWaffles, Boss of METAL: Help test the map.

Thank you for reading and I will gladly appreciate criticism and positive comments.

-TGB

No DL for me. It looks way to plain, just 2 big lines that opposing teams cross. It isn't horrible but something that I wont download.

Good forging skills though I just don't like the map.

3/5

Looks like alot of fun, and a new original idea too, can't wait to try. I'll post again once i have tried it out. some thing, try some interlocking, for if there are bumps, it will smallen them. Also see if you can make it wider, like two blocks wide instead of one. Just my advice, dont need to do

You know how graphics aren't important in games, and gameplay is...

You are ignorant for basing your opinion on something you didn't even play, and only on ascetics. Just because it looks plain doesn't mean it is. Brownie has tested the map tons of times with me and every single time people want to play more, and are laughing all because it is a great game.

How about you base harsh opinions of facts and not first glances.

no u

This seems like a great concept. I love how it is more then just a normal racetrack. The zombies have to try and shoot down the humans as they both are on mongoose. I guess it is sort of like Duck Hunt meets battle tracks. I am definitely going to download this.One question, how many people does the game support. I guess it could support up to 16 since their is 8 mongooses but how many infected people would their be. Also, are any of the game settings changed. Overall this is a nice map and a 4.7/5 from me. (Until I geta good game going anyway. Could Change.)

Very interesting concept. I can't wait to play it. I'll give it a pre-play rank of 4.5/5.

There's always 2 zombies, Driver and gunner of course, but you can have as many humans as you like. So really this game is 3-16 players. Yes the setting are changed so the humans can't run away on foot. So, you will need the gametype.

1. OMG RECON
2. This is not really racing, it has a link to racing but it is completely different, this should be on casual maps

but overall, not so good map

2/5

This map is definitely really sick. I had so much fun just testing it with you. Infact, I am in the second picture (the one without the Recon :P). This is incredibly fun and while the overall design is simple, it is executed beautifully.

This map is really fun and I recommend this to anyone. People who say this sucks haven't played it. Easily a 5/5.
