I wish this could be modified into a tank challenge map like Tank Challenge 1.5 with 10, 20 or 30 rounds. Throw in a few super tall ladders up to the room, get rid of those damn 3 sandbags right at the station and change to a balloon escape like you have in Death Aboard......It would rock!

Please contact me. This is one of my favorite maps. I'd like the raw file of this map so I can edit it in Hammer.

One of the most challenging maps ever! It took some work to complete but it was nuts. If you think you are pro this map will really test you. Good work [S.O.D]KGB

it sucks because you need to research things and its flooding in zombies ther is no starter kits (like pistol, melee weapons, health kits.etc in a table) so its very hard cant even beat it even in easy mode

Look at the *Tagged* section "HARD" so even on easy it is difficult let alone on advanced or expert

This is one of my favorite maps. But as others have stated, it is very hard. My 2 buddies and I beat it on advanced, but team work was the key. Bots are useless, because they can't get kits or use melees. The only thing I would change is putting a ammo pile on the bottom level near the rocket, because running out of ammo, then being able to make the trip back up stairs is difficult. We love build maps, the harder the better, this one is my opinion is the hardest. If you have a team, the way we beat it was one player stay behind and throw bile, then mollys, when two others go down and build the rocket, this is on advanced. Would Love to see some more build maps, like this.

Pros
- Another "Lets Build" map, always pretty fun.
- Nice theme that fits the "build-a-rocket" theme.
- I like the idea of having the research desk at a higher level and the placement of the mounted machine guns to defend the rocket builders, although the distance between the locations may have been too much.
- Fairly good lighting throughout.
- Pretty good zombie navigation flow.
Cons
- While "Lets Build" is always fun, this map offers nothing new or different from rimrook's original map other than a different layout.
- On first gameplay, there's no real direction or indication as to where the research desk is.
- The distance between the research desk and the rocket build site are too far for no good reason, although it proposes a unique strategy.
- The aesthetics, overall, seem very bland. There is no story being told and there's nothing to immerse the player into the game.
- The balance is broken and suffers the same problems rimrook's map did in the sense that "Easy" does not equal "Easy" and "Normal" is closer to expert. This can be fixed by tweaking the spawn rates a bit.
- Because of the long distance to the research desk, the "ragequit" factor is pretty high when a team has to restart.
- No real potential to change up the strategy.
Overall, pretty fun but the map lacks in originality and balance. Since it offers nothing new other than a change of strategy. There's nothing blatantly "wrong" with the map but there just wasn't anything that made me want to come back to it and there was no real payoff when we beat the game since it was just the same conclusion as "Let's Build a Rocket".
Final word: Download it if you really like "Let's Build" maps but don't expect a whole lot of replay value.

Pros
nice layout
Cons
too hard even on easy mode
too many infected and zombies arrive to quickly and too many.
Tanks spawn right by you so you dont have much time to escape
needs some work on how quick tanks, infected and zombies spawn otherwise a good map

Pros
A Let's build map!
Many things to build, choose wisely.
The tech room is cool, easy to defend if you got a good strategy
Cons
Hard to escape
Rocket too far from the tech
Tank appears so soon
Tank can be stuck on the stair
Laggy due to too many zombies
In general it's a pretty fun map to play. You'll definitely need a good team of four to play on this map. It took us 2 hours even on easy, realism. Hard difficulty on realism is impossible, die in a matter of minutes.

Pros
- It's a Let's Build map, which are always fun
- Lots of stuff to build
Cons
- Too hard (3 people on Easy took 2 hours)
- Constant hoards (at least put a couple seconds between them)
- Hoards while Tank is spawned
- Tanks too frequent
- Need to add a zombie cap (crashed twice due to too many zombies)
Great map, but needs to be dialed down a bit
