CoT2 is a fast-paced zombie map with a nice list of features.
It offers both survival and arena mode.
It's predecessor, City of Terror, already had jetpacks and lots of badass enemies, but now there's gonna be more.
I. Interface and Controls
Aim for the head!
In contrast to most other shooting/zombie maps, you have the ability to shoot manually in CoT2.
In detail, there are 4 ways to fire your guns:
- Right click enemies
- Press W (hold position) and right click anywhere
- Press Q and left click (like using an ability)
- Enable auto-attack (type -aa)
Another advantage is that you don't have to open an extra spell book for further commands (and you still have them all!).
View command card
1st row:
Q Attack
S Stop
W Hold pos
E Toggle jetpack
2nd row:
A Throw nade
R Reload
T Sprint
V Nightvision
3rd row:
D,F,G Class-specific abilities
X Shockwave (Liquid-Crystal-Armor)
The jetpack can be controlled via arrow keys or the mouse.
Jetpack
II. The Classes
There are 4 classes currently which can be selected at the beginning:
- Medic: Heals wounds, infection and revives fallen comrades
- Engineer: Establishes barricades and transports stationary MGs
- Explosives Expert: Plants anti-person, anti-tank (vs. bosses) and remote controlled mines
- Operator: Can display the last dropoff point for ammo (or trace enemies in arena mode), call for airstrikes and has a motivation aura
Airstrike
III. Weapons and Ammo
Besides the classical chainsaw, there are lots of weapons dropping throughout the game and each has different types of ammunition you can load it with, like fragmentation ammo for the rocket launcher, chlorine gas for the flamethrower and burst ammo for the shotgun.
Ammo types
But not all weapons and types of ammo fit in every situation, since explosions also hurt teammates and you sometimes just need a better fire rate than that of the AWP.
To use a certain weapon or ammo type just click on the item.
List of Weapons
Basic weapons
Chainsaw
What's more fun than killing zombies with a chainsaw?
Hell, I don't know!
USP
The USP is the lightest gun which allows you to move swiftly and escape from precarious situations.
m3
Good close-combat weapon.
MP7
The sub-machine-gun is an excellent choice for urban warfare.
AWP Sniper Rifle
The AWP can take out any enemy from really far away.
m249
The machine gun can take down whole armies of zombies within seconds, but it is very heavy and makes you an easy target for fast enemies.
Rocket Launcher
The Rocket Launcher has the highest damage.
Be careful not to kill yourself or your teammates!
Flame Thrower
Great for meele combat, burn baby!
Experimental weapons (only 1 drops in every game)
BFG
The BFG (big field gun aka big f***ing gun) deals massive amounts of area damage with a moderate fire rate.
Railgun
Fires bolts of pure energy, that penetrate any kind of material and ignite it instantly.
Cannot drop in Arena Mode.
Coil Gun C43
Creates a static field, causing lightning bolts to jump on nearby enemies.
Uses the same ammo as the Railgun.
Last but not least, there are stationary machine guns which can be packed and set up somewhere else by the engineer.
Stationary MG
They only cover a certain angle, so they should be set up wisely.
IV. Enemies
Zombies? Yea, but those are the least threat for you.
This map introduces the next generation of brain-eating enemies (correct me if I'm wrong) that will push forward wave after wave, barely allowing you to stop and take a breath.
You need skill and teamplay to survive on the long run, you will barely have a chance alone.
V. Survival vs. Arena
Survival Mode
Arena Mode
In Survival Mode, your have to make it through 12 waves, which requires teamplay and skill.
There are a few tasks which can help you survive.
I will point out only the scientist in the military area (south-east), the rest is for you to find on your own.
The scientist is hiding behind a pile of trash and flesh and tries not to get eaten while you get to do the dirty work for him:
You have to get some infected blood for him so he hopefully can develop an anti-virus and later escort him out of the contaminated area.
(Thanks frostloh for the idea)
In Arena Mode, you have to reach 15.000 credits to win the game.
Each Marine you kill will increase your credits, ending a killing streak will give you even more.
With credits, you can buy various items like nades, or zombie spawns and bosses, which will hunt the other marines on their own, making their lives miserable.
There are certain marked points where guns spawn all the time, so you never run out of ammo. There also is an exclusive new gun in Arena Mode, which you can't find in Survival Mode.
VI. Final Notes
This map is supposed to be even more challenging than CoT1, so please don't start complaining about the difficulty if you've played only once or twice.
There are 11 waves of blood thirsty enemies plus an end boss waiting for you, and 5 tasks (counting those of the scientist in the south-east as two).
If you can't move there are 2 possible reasons:
1) You pressed W to hold position and shoot with right clicks
2) The infection took over (lasts at least 5 seconds, occurs when infection level >= 75)
Features
- A short intro/tutorial so you don't have to teach newbies about the controls
- Survival with 12 waves with challenging enemies, including 5 bosses and tasks
- Arena with very fast-paced gameplay
- Jetpacks
- Custom aiming and shooting system
- Lots of weapons and ammunition and weapon sounds
- Detailed spooky environment with background music and sounds

Reasons: Other: If you have any complaints or questions directed towards a moderator, make a thread here: Map Resource Moderation If you think the moderator's judging is unfair or you have overall complaints, make a thread here: Admin Contact Please read the rules thoroughly: Rules Comment: Very polished, has some neat features like a jetpack, with acceptable controls. However nothing new, some of the abilities are also very familiar, like sprint/night vision and also the classes. But it can be fun, it has very challenging difficulties. The shooting is fun, there's no auto-attack, however the terrain lacks more modern tiles, textures, etc. It still has the warcraft 3 medieval feeling to it, but atmospheric wise it's very dark and moody.
Suggestions: *Add quests for objectives, tips, etc.
The weapon icons are free to use in your map, but please give credit!

Yeah I guess some street tiles like in CoT1 would be nice.
I was also looking for power poles (and cables) but didn't find any, does anyone know a good model?
As for the classes, if anyone has fresh ideas feel free to post them :)
I also need a third skill for the engineer.
You don't really have time to read quests though..
I think a good solution would be displaying the text again when clicking on the scientist.
(+) Good terrain, keep up the good work!
(+) Jetpack ability, which you will fly around the area at the cost of your mana
(-) You cannot damage enemies when you are on the roof of an building, even when I unpacked the Machinegun
More reviews coming when I test the City of Terror II again.
When you are standing at the border of the roof you can shoot down, otherwise not.
I thought it looked too odd when you could shoot through roofs..
€: I just noticed that this indeed doesn't work all the time.. I'll have a look at it.
On the other hand, this does prevent you from camping on the roof.. so why change it? :D
€:
The street tiles from MassiveMaster look really great :)
Horrible terrain. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing that got this map approval status has to be the list of features implemented. Congrats to the author.
