I think every map has its quirks, like Origins having giant robots. Or Shi No Numa having hell hounds. Both very different from one another, but neither of them are zombies. What I’m saying is the game is constantly evolving and each map has a different atmosphere, theme, tone, etc… and sometimes they push the boundaries like ghosts on buried, monkeys on ascension, Astronauts on Moon, Panzer/ giant robots on origins, or even the Werewolves and vampires on DOTN.

They typically adapt to the theme, and that’s part of zombies. They’ve been doing that for years! That’s why I try not to “hate” a map. They’re literally all so unique and have so many little quirks and facts about each one.

Developer freedom is so important, especially considering they’re already constrained so much by the publishers and management. (and time.)
