The flames roar to life.
This week we’ve seen a lot of great levels rolling in and I'm happy to see that, but there’s one that stands out the most among all of them.
This week’s map is once again one by SockPuppet, who you’ll recognise from last week, but this new map is truly a cut above his last one. His new map is called "Rolling (to the) ‘Land’".
This map seems like a simple newbish map at first glance – there’s a huge wall of weapons at the top of the map, and only three enemies present. You grab your weapon of choice, kill the three of them, then proceed to the exit. Then you’re back where you started, except there’s one more zombie.
Gradually, the level gets more and more complex as you proceed further down the rabbit hole. It remains well-balanced, however. With the number of weapons you’re given, there’s an astounding amount of variety in the tactical decisions you can make – something that this game is all about.
Overall, the level takes a truly unique concept and works with it wonderfully – it’s unlike any other level I’ve seen before, perhaps the best one I’ve ever played. It blew my mind and will surely blow yours.
