Zoo (by Killer99) - GrandmasterJ
This map is a zoo (not to be confused with the other zoo map made by Icewold) condensed down into a hallway. There are only eight exhibits but the whole thing is interactive.

The map is a simple hallway with windows on either side. All sorts of xen creatures spawn infinitely inside these rooms behind glass. At the far end is a grate on the floor, after breaking it (or in my case, standing on it), jump down into the hole which will break the glass on the zoo animals. They start spawning in immediately and don't really stop, players only start with basic pistol and 17 rounds and crowbar. My teammate and I had to cheat to make it back to the hole alive.
The hole leads to an underground water filled tunnel, the end of which leads to a room with a grate on the ceiling, shooting this grate makes the water fill the room allowing players to swim out the top and into a tank of water with no escape as snarks start to spawn in. It's a really nasty ending for an already bad map.
All in all, there is not much to do except fight a horde of monsters with no weapons and die.
Pros:
Cons:
- players spawn with bare minimum and there are no weapons or supplies on the whole map
- once the glass goes down the enemies swarm the player spawn point
- enemies keep coming endlessly, I thought this was going to be a relaxed map where I ruin a zoo
- the end sequence is an unescapable snark trap
Score: 0.5 / 10
