Power and Pack a Punch Craftable Locations / An explanation on the difficulty of London Docks.
Let's talk craftables and the Zombies difficulty.

I've been watching the comments closely and paying attention to the feedback, and it's very obvious that the item locations were a problem with London Docks.
Moving forward with my next projects I'll be limiting the craftables I use/how I use them will make much more sense for the story that each map has.

With this map I knew I was building a more linear experience that wasn't going to have a main storyline EE, so I wanted to give some challenge as well as replay value to the map by making the spawns dynamic and a little more challenging.
I also saw this as a perfect opportunity to increase the number of zombies that can spawn at once (Default is 24, London Docks is bumped up to 28) as well as increase their speed multiplier so they sprint at earlier rounds.
The changes to the Zombies came with multiple playtest sessions over the course of building the map, I experimented with various numbers and ultimately the playtesters and I concluded the map felt just challenging enough where it is currently.

That being said, I unfortunately made it an unfun experience for some players, and I'd like to take the chance to potentially mend that by providing you all with the locations for PaP and Power craftables!
The others you'll have to find on your own, I don't want to make it TOO easy, but I do agree these two are very important for the core Zombies experience.

Thank you all again for the very positive reception on London Docks! I never expected to see as many plays as it got, and the feedback has been heard, both positive and negative :)

All that needs adding is a scoreboard collection list like many other maps, power has the list one the side. but I got lost on what i needed and what I had gathered with the shield and PAP machine. :bo3winky:

Enjoyable map BTW!

I would have loved to add in the Craftables to the scoreboard menu but unfortunately LUA isn't in my realm of knowledge and I wanted to focus on the level design/gameplay experience more than I did learning scripting in GSC/LUA.
Future maps will indeed have this feature though :)
