Ideas for L4D survival maps

[Winfrey]

There are so many zombie movies out there that there should be a plethora of maps based on them coming out for L4D. One that should definitely be made is the pub from Shaun of the Dead. Add in some custom skins, peanut bags instead of pills, and we got ourselves a great map;D

Any other ideas people have floating around out there?

Maybe it's my 15 years in the Navy, but I think zombies on a ship would be cool. I also think Zombies in the jungle, in caves, and in the arctic would make great maps.

[Koreish]

A ship is a great idea big cargo liner or cruise ship. A giant factory where the machines can either help or hinder you would be cool. Also I think an amusement park or circus of some sort would be pretty epic. Zombie Clowns = Uber scary.

[Preacher]

O.o...Good Idea, Koreish. Running through an active factory, shooting zombies, and dodging lifts/belts/gears/presses would be cool.

[Winfrey]

A ship would be a lot of fun, especially a cruise ship or a battleship. Along the same theme, I was thinking an oil rig would be really cool, with cramped dark downstairs and lofty tower positions for hunters and smokers.

Cruise ships, factories, and oil rigs... answering the question "How can we make these caches of weapons even more implausible?"

[pragtastic]

Wait, who doesn't have at least 1 weapons cache tucked away in a corner of their house? I'd think a ship or an oil rig would have at least 15.

[Colgere]

It'd be near impossible to do, but if someone could recreate The Hive from Resident Evil (the film) as a series of levels, that might be cool.

All ships have caches of weapons to fight off the Somalian pirates, duh! And factories clearly need protection from fear mongering labor unions. And wtf, when were large amounts of automatic weapons make sense in a hospital? It's zombie survival, don't ask questions shoot the zombies!

A star destroyer.

It just SCREAMS "new weapons" and "new zombie textures."

...it also screams "royalties."

Cruise ship that was hosting an NRA convention, Weapons factory, Oil rig off of Singapore. Problem solved.:D

^ This.

Old. What's the goal, getting to the food court?

I too like the cruise ship. You have to make it from bow to stern to get to the life boats and row to freedom!

I think it might be a little rough and very close quarters. The only way to make it work would be if you had to get the ship started again to get away from X or Y thing that's making it unsafe to use life rafts.

[Thrax]

You could even call the map Failboat.

It don't think "old," I think "classic."

As for the goal, it's not a campaign, it's a survival map. The goal is to survive for as long as possible. There's not supposed to be rescue in survival maps. Did you ever notice that all the other maps have tag lines like "Hell came to earth, these four sent it back!" But Lighthouse just says, "It doesn't end well..."
There could be a GUN STORE and a PHARMACY in the mall with WEAPONS and PEELS! And then I could get to live out of my Dawn of the Dead fantasy.

No killing the small, zombie children.

[MAGIC]

yeah, like the school from silent hill.

It's what the children get for not paying attention during Zombie Apocalypse class.

You spelled "pills" wrong. I corrected you.

[SnowWhiteCyanide]
