Oh god, what was going through his mind when he rele- wait sorry, thought this was a Box Map, no this is Industrial Estate, what place would be best to hold up in in a zombie apocalypses? An Industrial Estate of course, not an ordinary one though, featuring many perks, unquie bosses, some sweet guns, buildables and much more, what is there not to like about it?
It may not be Oil Rig but it's a taste for what's in store along with a pretty sweet map.
Let's get down to business!
Starting offPretty laid back start, even with the risers it's quite easy to survive a number of rounds in the starting room. I recommendation from me is to grab the MK14 and QR and do your best to survive in the first room, if you fell you're getting overrun, no problem, open the door to the second area which has a nice amount of room.
SurvivingWhile training isn't exactly easy the map's layout and the "loops" make it easy to get out of a sticky situation, one can easy train around the garage area back through spawn and the second area. It gives you that relief that at least you know you can somewhat get out of a horde, unless you're a n00b like HitmanVere, High Rounds aren't too difficult with this in mind.
Along with that the array of weapons will cater to any zombie player making surviving the map relaxing for all zombie players, if you like Shotguns, no problem, there is many of them on the map, or are you an SMG guy? Sure thing, got some of them! The weapons are quite balanced when it comes to fire rate, ammo capacities and damage, while some guns may run out of ammo quickly this is made up for by the frequent drops and the Juggernauts as they drop Max Ammos (expect the Minigun ones, they drop Dead Machines), I can safely say I have not gone a game where I was worried about Ammo majorly.
WeaponryAs mentioned above the map has quite the array of weapons to cater for everyone. From the Sliquifier (buildable) to the ASM1 to the HK21, this map has a weapon for everyone. Many of the weapons are also, as mentioned above, very balanced, while we all want a M1911 that can kill in one shot it isn't always the best thing, many of the weapons who have low damage make up for this in other areas, same goes for low ammo guns such as Shotguns, with considerably high damage and can get you out of a very sticky situation.
Along with the bullet and wonder weapons there are others such as the QEDs and Gersch Device, the latter has saved my life on this map more times than I can imagine. You could consider the Shield under Weaponry, in that case it is also quite a useful device, and works similarly to its original.
BuildablesThe buildables were a very nice addition, both the Sliquifier and the Zombie Shield can be built, parts aren't mad hard to find and both function very like their originals from Black Ops 2. Both are very useful, making them a worthy choice to try and get the parts to build. Do keep in mind however like Black Ops 2, the Sliquifier takes up a weapon slot and will replace the weapon you are holding when taking it.
DetailThe map follows a very consistent design as an Industrial area and the detail is very well done. Layout is very well done and as stated above the loops allow for getting out of sticky situations. The attention to detail is aparent, from the spot lights from holes in the roof to broken walls. Very well done on layout, design and detail.
Overall: This map is a must try, it's very well done in all departments. While it's a smallish map it gives considerable amount of replay value. +1
