Summary
Dead Plaza is a R2D map set in an abandoned mall. It is a Elimination and Survival map, although, by chance, if an admin plays a round of Dead Plaza Free For All, it becomes a round of the removed gamemode The Mad Murderer.
Survivor's Note - Restored
This note was discovered outside the entrance of a once-popular mall. It has since been passed on to the United States military for safekeeping.
"My god, have you gone mad!?", I shouted at my companion as he fired off into a crowd of undead that laid dormant over the horizon. It had been days since my group and I were separated from one another, and all I had with me was Clyde. Clyde wasn't an abhorrent fellow, but he sure as hell wasn't a bright one. We had spotted an abandoned mall of sorts from afar as the oncoming horde of undead seemed to be approaching closer and closer. Clyde stayed behind for whatever reason to quickly fetch a bag of medical supplies, but that was the last I saw of him. I could not let feelings of grief and anguish follow soon after, as I was on the verge of death from a cheeky bloke who saw it best to maneuver throughout the parking lot on all fours. I was fortunate enough to come across an unlocked entrance to the abandoned center as I sealed the entrance shut with fiber wire picked up by Clyde just hours before. I currently hold no plans to escape this environment I had walked in on. A mall once teeming with life had now gone to waste as all that remained were the corpses of children lined against the wall; possibly executed by insurgents. I could not stay for long, but god, how eerie it was to travel further and further into the shopping center only to discover a pristine environment as if it had been maintained since the infection first began. I am normally not a believer of trusting gut feelings, but I must hurry toward an exit lest I be consumed by the wicked undead.
Design
This map is a large section of a mall infested with zombies. It features many shops, restaurants, a mini-cinema and an underground car lot with a blocked entrance.
Survivors spawn at what is presumably the entrance of the mall. There are two floors. On the bottom floor, accessed via a pair of escalators, contains a cinema and a restaurant, as well as various miscellaneous shops. There are a flight of stairs to another shop to the next floor. It is a dead end, and you must break the glass if you want to exit quickly.
On the top floor, there are more shops and restaurants, as well as some vents, which can be used for camping. Further along, there is a car park, with the exit blocked.
Tips
- Items are rare in this map. bring your own Pills and Medkits just in case.
- The map is enclosed and tight. Weapons such as the Thompson and Flamethrower are recommended.
- Explosions are also good in this map. Consider bringing the Crossbow.
Trivia
- There is a Grenade in the cinema's front desk popcorn machine that is unobtainable.
- A "Work At a Pizza Place" Pizza Delivery Vehicle can be seen in the garage.
- It was meant to have the The Mad Murderer gamemode, but it was later cancelled due to the overwhelming negative response by the majority of the community. (78% disapproval rate.)
- There is a glitch in which a player can glitch themselves out of the map though an ATM machine near the spawn. This is very difficult to perform and you are more likely to be killed in the process.
- This is also the first map not to feature any supply boxes or item spawns.
- The Sewers was the first to not have any supply boxes.
- DeadPlaza made a return in R2DA.
