Glad people still like this map, this was my first BO3 map. I don't have any of the files for it anymore though so I cannot fix the death barrier issues
Mr. H. Poondini 30 Jan, 2021 @ 9:13pm 
yeah as lots other people have said.. to many death barriers. Patch those out an this would be a sick map

buying the 1500 door where you dig the perk with the life ring killed me when i opened it
Lunatic Eye 13 Jul, 2020 @ 7:00am 
there is just waaaaaaaaaaaaay to many random death barriers around the map. i played this map 5 times now and died everytime through a dead barrier. what are you doing bro xD

@Yahtzee I'm gonna assume you mean the music coming from the Snails Pace Slurpee perk machine next to the power switch. If so, I have it in a youtube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0zLNjNAI1w . Wrote it myself
Yahtzee 25 Apr, 2020 @ 1:13am 
Hey Abnormal202,

I love this map, it's actually one of my favorites. I kind of have a stupid question... whats the music that plays by the power station, xD. I would really like to have it, but it's OK if you lost it since I know you lost the map, but if you have it could you send me a download/link?

Dude this is trash. The easter egg is impossible without cheating because of how many zombies you force it to spawn.
Abnormal202  [author] 30 Mar, 2020 @ 4:43pm 
@Folkbeer for the 50th time, no I cannot fix my map I do not have the files for it anymore... I'm sorry there's an issue where sometimes it kills you the first time you enter the pap room. I could not for the life of me figure out why that was happening 3 years ago, and I certainly can't help you now.
Folkbeer 26 Mar, 2020 @ 2:27am 
@abmprmal202 can you fix your map
Abnormal202  [author] 25 Mar, 2020 @ 7:15pm 
@inahellcat very epic! Can I have the old one?
recoupe 24 Mar, 2020 @ 4:14pm

Folkbeer 9 Mar, 2020 @ 7:24am

Leozaro45 8 Mar, 2020 @ 8:14pm

@Zach then cry about it :maaad:

Zach 29 Aug, 2019 @ 12:40pm

Rash 25 Jul, 2019 @ 10:25pm 
Jumped down after doing all the glowing stones and insta died with quick revive and it ended the game :/
Nocreep 11 Nov, 2018 @ 2:21pm

UnknownAK 25 Aug, 2018 @ 4:23pm

Rotting Hatred 11 Aug, 2018 @ 12:09am

buschi48 6 Aug, 2018 @ 7:17am

Lucci 26 Jul, 2018 @ 5:15am 
My game crashes when I activate the power switch. Does anyone have the same problem?
Rynoe 22 Apr, 2018 @ 11:44am 
The pack a punch room kills you randomly
TheDawnFox 8 Mar, 2018 @ 8:38am 
Hmm im really not sure if it will, this is a fix provided by some people i dont know much about. Ice Grenade provided the link, im just helping out reposting it.
Abnormal202  [author] 7 Mar, 2018 @ 7:21pm 
@TheUnexpectedOne do you happen to know if this fix will be able to work if I lost some of the files to Sandstorm?
TheDawnFox 7 Mar, 2018 @ 6:12am 
The maps are broken due to the latest BO3update
click this link for instructions! Thanks to IceGrenade for posting the link on twitter

Ok, played the map. Love it. This is probably the best one I've played so far. This is going to be very hard to beat.
Cactus Man 3 Feb, 2018 @ 4:52pm 
Is there a music easter egg? If so, is it Darude Sandstorm?
Alec 15 Jan, 2018 @ 7:53pm 
P.S. I really love the map, though.
Alec 15 Jan, 2018 @ 7:49pm 
Found multiple safe spots and bugs. Can be viewed on my live stream if it feels important to you.
Abnormal202  [author] 9 Oct, 2017 @ 2:39pm 
@Umbreon™ that's a good question. I have been contemplating this since this map was first conceived.
Sonar Six 8 Oct, 2017 @ 7:16pm 
is it darude tho?:steamsalty::steamsalty:

1st Bug: I had Who is Who and Quick Revive and after I downed, I revived myself (I dont know if it would have revived me automatically) but after that I wasn't able to buy any perks. The Mystery box still worked as well as the playable music.
2nd Bug: I went under the Pyramid and activated the Lockdown (I had 3 Zombies left for this round) after that a new round started (I think) but all zombies spawned on the surface not in the room. After I cheated a nuke the pack a punch was unlocked and the lockdown lifted.
3rd Bug: It is very difficult to get out of the water (green soul box)

Apart from these bugs the map is really great!!! Very good map design and I LOVE the music ;)

@Soro Hanosh I think you having it in a different language could be the problem. try switching it to English real quick and see if that works
Aileta Eyail 20 Aug, 2017 @ 1:01pm 
6600k & gtx 1070. If the problem is on my end, the only things i can think of are that I play in spanish, and i have multiplayer uninstalled.
Abnormal202  [author] 20 Aug, 2017 @ 12:59pm 
@Soro Hanosh Jbird says to buy a better PC
Aileta Eyail 20 Aug, 2017 @ 12:24pm 
crashes on start up :/
angelh_93 30 Jul, 2017 @ 9:10am

Sauce 12 Jul, 2017 @ 12:50pm

CrazyCat 9 Jul, 2017 @ 12:28pm 
where is pack a punch?
Wise 4 Jul, 2017 @ 1:58pm 
We did a live stream of this map https://youtu.be/dcivtbHMkuU go take a look
Abnormal202  [author] 31 May, 2017 @ 1:29pm 
Alright this is my final announcement for Sandstorm.

I'm afraid there will no longer be any updates or changes to this map. This is due to a recurring error that kept appearing and would not let me update. I tried deleting the mod tools and reinstalling and I kept most of the Sandstorm files, except for some important ones I stupidly forgot, that included custom models, FX, and all the custom sounds.

I know it's sad that this map has still got some errors and a weird death barrier glitch that I can never fix, but it is time to move on to a new project anyway

-cheers (no I'm not British)
DeathReaper 31 May, 2017 @ 12:36pm 
i really am abset coz this error is annoying AF

ERROR: Could not find zone 'ea_zm_sandstorm'

its just a language error but my game is already in english wtf
Abnormal202  [author] 24 May, 2017 @ 5:22pm 
@Vertigo322 the posters should say the song names when you play them. They are all easter egg songs from other zombies maps.
Vertigo322 24 May, 2017 @ 8:22am 
What are the songs that play when you hit the posters? They sound familiar and I'd love to know their names.
