My name is Oliver Qu--sorry, Xenosaj, and after two years of SDK hell I have returned to the Workshop with only one goal: to release this map. But to do that, I couldn't be the novice mapmaker I once was. I had to push the boundaries of zombie maps beyond what has been done before, to come up with something new and exciting. I had to become someone else...some /thing/ else... Here's the result--I hope you enjoy it. :)

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
---------------------------------------------
This is a 64-player zombie survival map based on Midtown Manhattan from Marvel Heroes. Like my previous MH-inspired entry, the X-Men mansion, my goal was an aesthetically pleasing map but one that went further than my previous efforts, and I believe I've met that goal. There are quite a number of pre-barricaded positions to hide in and defend from, both indoors and out. Due to the number of entities used in the map, there are a limited number of physics props (i.e. vending machines) for players to use. However, this is made up for by the presence of...

SUPERPOWERS!
---------------------------------------------
Inside Avengers Tower you'll find 12 different abilities waiting to be used:
--Cyclops: Optic Blast
--Cable: Hyper Viper Beam
--Captain America: Shield Toss
--Thor: Hammer Toss
--Iron Man: Repulsor Blasts
--Scarlet Witch: Area of Effect Burn
--Quicksilver: Runspeed
--Invisible Woman: Invisibility
--Nightcrawler: High Jump
--Magneto: Magnetic Shield
--Doctor Strange: Area of Effect Slow
--Hulk: HULK SMASH

Some are offensive while others are defensive or utility. Try them all! Instructions are in the lobby of Avengers Tower. There's also three flight abilities elsewhere in the city, but you'll have to unlock them first.

And in case the zombies are feeling left out, I've included two abilities for them as well:
--Green Goblin: Goblin Glider (flight)
--Loki: Summon Illusions (summon all zombies to your location)
Unlike the human powers, both of these are locked until 1 minute into the round and respawn upon player death so that others can obtain the abilities.

ADDITIONAL
---------------------------------------------
There are two piloted vehicles in the map for additional fun: a Quinjet in Central Park for the humans, and a Sentinel for the zombies which can roam the city streets. There are a number of Marvel easter eggs to find, including a special surprise from Deadpool if you find him, and even ones for a scarlet speedster and a verdant archer. There are also several hidden rooms/spaces, secret ladders, and if you managed to read this far there may or may not be a super-secret hidden superpower that even a mad titan would love.

Please leave any constructive criticism and feedback you have. I know it's a larger-than-usual map, both in in-game size and in filesize (336MB), but I wanted to put as much into it as I possibly could. I tested it as thoroughly as I could, and the only odd visual effect I know of is the slight areas above the func_areaportalwindows (the white 'walls' between some buildings that disappear when you get close) where you can see through the world. Small price to pay for greatly increased fps. But if you come across any missing models or textures, any major glitches, especially anything that causes the map to crash, please comment and leave as much information as you can, screenshots as well.
