Definitely a great map. It really brought out those Bo2 vibes and easily could have fit in to that games launch selection. Great work!
Niknokinater  [author] 4 Apr, 2023 @ 11:20am 
I'm glad you like it ! It's certainly not easy out-of-the-box.

Definitely aimed to to get a strong BO2 vibe across along with some original buildables (Fire Boots are epic). It's enlightening that those vibes came across ohohooh
Beber 27 Mar, 2023 @ 2:02pm 
Wtf people are crying and saying it's an awful map ? It's really a great map ! Bo2 wibes are incredible and it's nice to see somes original craft we don't see on another map !

Good Stuff ! :)

Eyyyy thanks for trying it out lads ! I was looking forward to hearing about your playthroughs lmao

As for the bees not registering shotguns hits, it appears to be an artifact of BO3 in my specific use-case where damage triggers don't register hits when there is skybox directly behind them. Just gotta not shoot them directly into the sky with shotguns is all.

Wait until you see my next map where you have to build the parts themselves xD

THIS IS THE WORSE ZOMBIES MAP EVER! IVE NEVER HATED SOMETHING MORE! IVE PLAYED OVER 1000 MAPS AND THIS CRUSES ALL OF THEM IN THE HORRIBLNESS SCALE!!!!! NEVER EVER DOWNLOAD THIS MAP!!!!! I PLAYED FOR 10 MINS AND I ALREADY WANTED TO CRY OUT OF DESQUST IT SUCKS SO BAD! only holding one part? WHO TF THOUGHT OF THAT IDEA IT WAS SO STUPID!!! NEVER MAKE A MAP AGAIN AND IF YOU DO MAKE SURE TO LET US HOLD MORE THAN ONE PART :steamthumbsdown: I SWEAR TO GOD EVERY TIME I HEARD THOSE BEES SPAWN IN I WANTED TO KILL MYSELF!!!!!!!! IF I DID MY DEATH WOULD BEE ON YOUR HANDS. ARE YOU HAPPY-GO-LUCKY? YOU SHOULNT BE. Please try to improve on your map making skills and i will consider trying out other maps. :steambored:

This map is pure butthole, my 6 year old autistic cousin could make a better map than this piece of fecal debris. I hope you never make a map again, this is easily the most aids map i have ever discovered on this platform. I need to go to therapy after playing this waste of time. I played for 15 mins and I want to kms. The fucking bees dont even work. I COULDNT EVEN SHOOT THEM W MY SHOTGUN. I hope you never even try to make another map.

@Deadshot.mp4 The invisibility glitch will be fixed in the next patch- it was a conflict between downing & teleporting.

As for the missing sound cues & fx, that sounds like a very strange anomaly that I'll look out for, but I can't guarantee I'll even be able to replicate it (could explain why you're dissatisfied with the bee feedback).

Regarding the bee health scale, it operates in the form of hit states. The max amount of damage a bee can take before death is 3 hits from anything, but there's a .4 second delay between registration windows (.2 in next patch- seems to still work fine).

As for feedback, every hit gives points &, sometimes (not consistently though for some reason), a green blood effect. Definitely unconventional, but thanks for giving it a go anyway !
Niknokinater  [author] 22 Jan, 2023 @ 9:52pm 
@GerardS0406 Ah yes, this ee is definitely one of my more convoluted ones, but they become second-nature once you get them down or refer to a guide as most seem to relatively simple variations of 'do x over at y using z' kinda steps.

As for the bees, I don't readily have access to the parasites from Shadows, unfortunately, thus I opted to do my own from scratch, the tradeoff indeed being some clunk. I'll figure something out for the buzzing cutoffs as well- definitely not pleasant. Thanks for giving the map a shot, lad.
Deadshot.mp4 22 Jan, 2023 @ 1:30pm 
Pretty cool map, I love the Tranzit/broken earth vibes and also find the rising and falling of the lava on occasion as a super cool mechanic.

However I did run into some issues while running through a pretty lengthy playthrough of it. At some point (don't recall what triggered it) I was completely ignored by zombies, and for a pretty lengthy amount of the match too. It didn't fix till my friend no-clipped into me and downed me, which reviving me made me visible to zombies again.

Also some of the EE steps were missing their FX and sound queues that I saw from NSSG's playthrough (was following his guide). I eventually called it quits on the EE but felt it wasn't super rewarding to run through (could just be my personal opinion on it tho).

Also the scaling of the pest/bug rounds got rough. Without hitmarkers or any response from them by being hit, it felt like an awkward opponent to fight and got rough when they became real bullet sponges on about the 3-4 wave of them.
GerardS0406 22 Jan, 2023 @ 1:28pm 
5/10. Map started off looking nice and beautiful but after playing through rounds, it got annoying quickly. A lot of the steps for the EE were confusing and/or frustrating and the special zombie rounds got progressively more annoying. The sounds for them made me want to quit the map immediately. The BO3 parasites would've done the trick perfectly well.
DannyCrew 21 Jan, 2023 @ 1:38am 
Thanks for an amazing map. My game did bug out at the end of the EE causing zombies or bosses to spawn, but overall amazing map. Here is my gameplay: https://youtu.be/PFfqBD36k2E

@Niknokonater thanks for adding my guide to the description! If you ever want a guide made feel free to hit me up dude !
Niknokinater  [author] 20 Jan, 2023 @ 6:18am 
@N.S.S.G. Essential ohohoh

@LasagnaLarry They negate the exploding zombie damage & shellshock after being picked up. Beware that the Fire Boots do indeed take damage over time & need to be replaced if they break, as indicated by the health bar at the top right of the screen. Max Ammos refill your current one.
Judas Cradle 20 Jan, 2023 @ 3:17am 
i made the fire boots, still take explosive dmg from the flaming zombies tho. Just a dumb idea that should've been left back in tranzit era
N.S.S.G Elwood 20 Jan, 2023 @ 1:37am 
The lava boots turn this into an amazing map !
Niknokinater  [author] 19 Jan, 2023 @ 6:24pm 
That's what the Fire Boots are for !
Highkey, even I'd be mega annoyed on this map without those- especially considering the exploding zombies.
Judas Cradle 19 Jan, 2023 @ 9:38am 
lava floors like tranzit, burning zombies explode when killed, yeah this is a hard skip
N.S.S.G Elwood 18 Jan, 2023 @ 12:28pm 
This was such a great map! Took a while to work it all out but i think i got there! Come Check out my Guide ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZD_5VeP3FA
SweetUnearthed 17 Jan, 2023 @ 1:22am 
@Niknokinater Yes I done it on solo many times. I appreciate your response.
Niknokinater  [author] 16 Jan, 2023 @ 2:51pm 
Very interesting- solo ? I've completed the egg multiple times solo after launch & haven't run into any connection interruptions (usually, connection interruption in custom zombies just means a mistake on my end, bad script).

Thanks for the details, those should help a lot. I'll start looking into it. I'd be interested to hear more in the Known Issues discussion if you've got anything more.
SweetUnearthed 15 Jan, 2023 @ 8:57am 
cant complete the last step of ee not because those bees kicking my ass but because of connection interruption for some reason, it just happens to me when either take it too long or just down 2 times or going inside the bunker. My internet is fine and works very well. Great map though.
Captain Drixx 14 Jan, 2023 @ 9:58pm 
@food mods, i think its a skill issue
Food 11 Jan, 2023 @ 11:39pm 
way to complicated
Niknokinater  [author] 9 Jan, 2023 @ 9:35pm 
Ah man so close indeed
Captain Drixx 9 Jan, 2023 @ 4:28pm 
dang we were one or two steps away from the ee, but the crew wasnt on :steamsad:
Niknokinater  [author] 8 Jan, 2023 @ 9:04pm 
In order for a Mega Claymore to register during the grave step, it must be a Mega Claymore, it must not already be completed, it must be placed within range (radius of a few feet or so), & a zombie must set it off.

Understandably, expect that the usage of additional mods may interfere with the map in unforeseen ways, in the event you're not running usermaps.

If you're concerned that it's bugged, please get a clip of it. Definitely something I'd want to fix & that'd help me assess it, as I may not be able to reproduce it on my own.
Ab_kinG the LasT 8 Jan, 2023 @ 9:02pm 
a hint:steamhappy: look for lanterns:steamthis:
Ab_kinG the LasT 8 Jan, 2023 @ 8:54pm 
yes i have done it in 5th of j but nikno grave step is a bit bugged and sometimes does.t reg the claymore damge idono maybe just a once time thing and btw has any one found the way for perka the lock thing?
Nothinbutpolo 8 Jan, 2023 @ 1:02pm 
I made a guide also not as in depth but it will get you through https://youtu.be/K4_9BM5-9oQ
RAPID_FUSIONZ 8 Jan, 2023 @ 12:15pm 
This map is a real GEM💎 Visually it looks pleasing to the eye & the overall vibe/atmosphere is awesome as well. The custom perk is actually pretty decent for what it's worth and the 3 buildables are dope, fire resistance boots probably being my favourite since this map contains a lot of lava.

I completed the EE which I must say was a pain in the ass at times haha but that's the whole point of an EE right, it's not supposed to be easy to figure out.

I have split my video below into 2 parts (Timestamps included) Part 1 being my actual 1st Playthrough & Part 2 is an In-Depth walkthrough of the EE for those who are still finding it hard to complete this map.

Niknokinater  [author] 7 Jan, 2023 @ 11:08pm 
There's but a visual clue between you & the next step at the location :)
Best of luck !
Kale 7 Jan, 2023 @ 10:48pm 
Filled all snowmen soul boxes and found all the buttons and couldnt figure out what to do next. Ran around the map for like 2 hours just interacting and shooting things to no success. EE is either bogged or too cryptic or both
Niknokinater  [author] 7 Jan, 2023 @ 8:48pm 
They can spawn in one of two locations, both by a pap pc.
Jongo-Bing Man 7 Jan, 2023 @ 8:29pm 
bro tf are the nails I literally looked everywhere
Niknokinater  [author] 7 Jan, 2023 @ 1:40pm 
That sounds very strange. I'll send you a friend request to get hopefully get some more info.
BrainDeadBowman 7 Jan, 2023 @ 1:20pm 
Played the map twice for a little over an hour each and had to quit both times cause the special rounds would bug out and nothing would spawn after a while...
Chuburculosis 7 Jan, 2023 @ 1:12pm 
glitched aftter snowmen and had nothing spawning. Big waste of time
Chuburculosis 7 Jan, 2023 @ 1:07pm 
what do I do after buliding the snowmen????

chido
TyForReal 6 Jan, 2023 @ 2:51pm 
Those Blue bugs hit hard when a ton of them spawn in lmao I loved this Easter egg! It took some thinking and luck but I'm glad it wasn't extremely complicated. The part that took the longest to figure out had to be the generator part.
Niknokinater  [author] 6 Jan, 2023 @ 11:17am 
Oh snap, epic work, TyForReal ! I guess the round with the blue bees is technically a boss fight, but admittedly, that wasn't the aim. It's quite the step though lmao.

Good job ! Afaik you're the first, by a couple hours at that.
Nothinbutpolo 6 Jan, 2023 @ 10:12am 
Nm about the key room just figured it out
Nothinbutpolo 6 Jan, 2023 @ 10:10am 
ok i did everything up the the power box/lights step any hints on where to go next..also I see the key but how to get up there any hints on that
TyForReal 6 Jan, 2023 @ 5:17am 
I never did find the key though
TyForReal 6 Jan, 2023 @ 5:17am 
Is the boss fight the pylons with the blue bugs? We got the teddy bear to end the game for 50k
blazevspfister 5 Jan, 2023 @ 4:15pm 
Cool map, I'm just confused what to do lol
Niknokinater  [author] 5 Jan, 2023 @ 11:44am 
That's interesting to hear that you found that the picture step was the toughest, especially considering the penultimate step, ohohoho
Ab_kinG the LasT 5 Jan, 2023 @ 5:59am 
hi guys solved what a ee man out of mind the picture step was the hardest and the perka at the eng gg man nice map indeed :steamthumbsup: EZ :)
Niknokinater  [author] 4 Jan, 2023 @ 10:08pm 
Ah yes, the bee hitboxes.

There are indeed some compromises- notably the inability to register shotguns if there's nothing behind them (e.g. if your crosshairs are on the bee & there's skybox behind them, the hit won't register- seems to be a BO3 thing I don't yet fully understand).

Additionally, their health works in hitstages. Basically, if a hit is successful, there's a half-second window for trigger stuff (looking at the script, I don't quite remember why it's this large). If you magdump, it could take a clip, but if you pace, only a maximum of three shots of any weapon, including knife & nades, are sufficient.

In any case, I appreciate you giving the map a go lad- thanks.
