Description
ARRIVAL


Battle through relentless hordes to uncover the lost research hidden within!

In the ruins of an abandoned university, twisted experiments have given birth to horrors beyond imagination. Nightmarish creatures now roam the decayed halls, remnants of a past shrouded in secrecy. Battle through relentless hordes, uncover the dark research that created them, and survive the terror that still lurks within.

--------

VOLUMETRIC LIGHTING
TURN ON VOLUMETRIC LIGHTING IN BO3 SETTINGS.
I keep seeing YouTube videos and people have this off. If your PC can run it with no problems then turn it on. Most custom maps have amazing lighting but with that turned off it looks like you're playing on a DS.





FEATURES

Full Easter Egg
Unlocks PAP

A few hidden small EE's (Good Luck!)

Custom Map and round music made by myself - (one of the round themes is made by my friend Carbine Element)

Weapons from black ops 1, 2, and Cold War.

2 Custom Perks (made by Logical)
2 Gobblegum Machines

Musical Easter Egg (Contains Copyright Music (Bears))

5 Radios telling the story within the map

And much more!





This is the first zombies map I've created (I tried to make two others but they were horrible/broken).
I started with no experience in radiant or with scripting, so learning to create a zombies map after wanting the opportunity to my whole life was amazing.
I'm glad this map turned out great and I truly hope you all have a wonderful experience playing it.
I would love to create the sequel to this map and continue the story if it seems people enjoy this one.
Also if you like the custom music for the map that I made please let me know cause that was one of my favorite things to add.

Please let me know how your experience was. I appreciate you playing the map.




NOTES

Please let me know of any issue (i'm sure there will be quite a few) and I will get them fixed ASAP

- I recommend you play in full screen as it seems to have some frame drops in the other settings.

-The sounds that play when completing EE steps only play from the player who completed the step

- Lighting isn't great so bump those settings up y'all

- Perk limit 4 or 5 - two ways to get an extra perk. One gives an extra slot, one gives free perk.

- The teddy bear EE song is copyright as heck so streamers/video-r's be careful with that

-Volumetric lighting on

- The voices for the radio are all me with a voice filter so don't mind my rough voice acting.

-Remember to play BO3 with the T7 Patch so you're not at risk.

Very boring map, i don't really understand the point...
Useless meme at the first door andthe whole purpose/secret and ending are just very boring, waste of time.

Previous bro really wrote a manifesto of complaints, 90% of which can be found in various official maps to date...
Map is a bit open/easy, but it's good for a starter map; I had fun on it
Pjinsky 7 Apr @ 8:44pm 
Add all that together—the lifeless visuals, the blinding crawler gas, the unfair spawn rates, and the exhausting easter egg—and you’re left with a map that just isn’t fun to play. It's more frustrating than challenging, and not in a good way. There's potential here, sure, but it needs a major rework in almost every area: lighting, pacing, enemy balance, and especially objective design.

That said, I do respect the effort, and I hope the creator takes this as constructive feedback. Everyone starts somewhere, and learning from criticism is part of the process. With some polish and rethinking, future maps could definitely be better. But as it stands, this one just isn't it.
Pjinsky 7 Apr @ 8:43pm 
That alone would be bad enough, but then you add on the fact that they spawn way too fast, often right in front of you, with no warning or pacing. It feels unfair and lazy, like a cheap way to increase difficulty instead of actual design balance.

Then there’s the easter egg. I love a good easter egg hunt in Zombies—when it’s done right. But here, it’s a total chore. The steps are overly tedious, obscure, and completely unintuitive. There's no in-game guidance, no sense of progression, and absolutely zero chance that anyone is going to figure this out without looking it up online. That’s not a puzzle—that’s just bad design. And to make things worse, you have to complete the entire easter egg just to unlock Pack-a-Punch. I’m sorry, but that’s ridiculous. Pack-a-Punch should be a mid-game reward to help you progress—not something locked behind an obscure, multi-step quest that most players won’t even finish.
Pjinsky 7 Apr @ 8:43pm 
Right off the bat, the visual design of the map is incredibly underwhelming. Everything is just grey and washed out, and not in an eerie, moody kind of way—it’s just bland. There’s zero atmosphere. No lighting cues, no environmental storytelling, no personality. It genuinely feels like running through a placeholder level rather than an immersive Zombies experience. It left no lasting impression visually, and for a Zombies map, that's a huge letdown. Atmosphere is half the fun, and this map just doesn't have any.

But the real dealbreaker? The Nova Crawlers. My god, where do I even start? The gas effect is absolutely blinding. Like, physically painful levels of bright. Once a crawler dies, your entire screen gets flooded with this intense, yellow fog that makes it impossible to see anything—not zombies, not the environment, not even your own feet. It’s like someone hit you in the face with a flashbang every 15 seconds.

what a great fuckin map! 10/10
love the hidden bowie knife and the visual teddy easter egg.
amazing layout, perfect size, very good ee and old school atmosphere.

i kinda like pap after ee steps too but as a reward for completing the ee it felt to long.
should have made pap open up earlier or add a couple more steps with a bossfight maybe. kinda miss brutus on this map he would fit perfectly here.

the best first map ive ever played. didnt save alot of maps but this i did. please make more.
