IF you would like some help with this I'd be more than happy to help.

The main issue with doing these maps for Beast is that the 'Enemy Stronghold' isn't always in the same place.
Any one map could have 4-5+ fortification configurations per round!
That's alot of documenting and alot of maps.

Hi Everyone, been a long time coming I know. But with a HUGE thanks to HordeMapGuides Forum member HeavenlyXInglex for logging all the fortification placements for me one each of the maps we have now got the High Res version of Escalation live on the site.
As usual either visit the first post for links or click HERE to go straight to the map page.

When you guys from Epic going to put up Academy? It's a fun map on horde, did it solo, please can we get this added soon.

**ArcAngel** · 03-02-2012, 05:17 AM

Don't work for Epic mate. This is 100% independant work by yours truly with the help of other community members.
Currently working on The Slab and hope to have Academy out soon after.

After playing a lot of Horde lately, I have come to the conclusion that Old Town is the best map by far. You have 1 side elevated first of all, which means you can ALWAYS shoot down at the Locusts. I has 1 very large open area in the middle (by nades) where a lot of the Horde group up. But most importantly, it has every pickup weapon in the game on this map (except for heavies, which aren't too great anyway). Torque Bow is IMO the best weapon for Horde since it can OHK nearly anything with a head, plus you have Boom, Frags, Incids, Scorchers, and snipe. No other map has all the weapons, meaning you have to pick them up from dead enemies. It also has good choke points with tons of fortifications in just the right spots, and you have plenty of places up top to cover down low. Lastly, the map has only 2 dead ends at the spawns, so as long as you never run into the spawns you can always stay moving (for the Beserkers and such).

Some might say Overpass or Escalation is better, but they lack weapons in key points (namely the best spots to set up your base) and have many dead ends, plus the areas you cover are rather small meaning the Horde can get too close for comfort (as opposed to Old Town where you can literally cover the entire bottom of the map at once).

**Alliance** · 03-09-2012, 08:42 AM

Good work! Now you have your work cut out for you again with the new maps coming out.

**SneaKerhead2009** · 03-23-2012, 07:06 PM

Are you going to need help documenting the FoN maps?

**sH4k3nB4ke** · 03-25-2012, 03:28 PM

Not that this helps towards documenting the maps in any way, but I've been keeping track of each maps' over-all cost (not including weapons, and assuming that the player has maxed all his fortifications). When FoN comes out I may post a list of the least expensive map to the most expensive map just for trivial reasons.

For example: did you know that currently the most expensive map is Sandbar with $771,500 worth of fortifications? and the least expensive map is Rustlung with $302,500 worth of fortifications.

**sH4k3nB4ke** · 03-25-2012, 04:06 PM

I decided to post the current list now, and will update it when the maps are put up on the site by ArcAngel....
Least Expensive - Most Expensive:
Rustlung ($302,500)
Raven Down ($353,000)
Clocktower ($369,000)
Escalation ($395,000)
Blood Drive ($410,000)
Drydock ($434,500)
Thrashball ($471,500)
Trenches ($481,500)
Anvil ($482,000)
Bullet Marsh ($501,500)
Aftermath ($506,000)
The Slab ($508,000)
Artillery ($511,000)
Azura ($515,500)
Old Town ($523,500)
Overpass ($525,500)
Checkout ($531,000)
Jacinto ($541,000)
Mercy ($541,500)
Cove ($573,500)
Depths ($584,500)
Gridlock ($604,500)
Hotel ($636,000)
Academy ($719,000)
Sandbar ($771,500)

awww yeah artillery, if only that missle silo or the earthquake did some damage to the map

**ElGordo94** · 04-16-2012, 12:04 AM

In my opinion, Blood Drive is the easiest map to do it on.
Me and a couple others got the Insane medal on this map, and for a while only played insane on this map.
My strategy is to buy the Command Post outside of the initial spawn. Buy the silverback, put it in the initial spawn, buy the sentry and barrier for that spawn.
Have 2 people up top, 2 people down below where the Command Center is(also, but the Command Center) and 1 in the grenade spawn. Max all other fortifications if you can.

When all turns to sh*t, use the Command Center, run to the spawn and get in the Silverback and shoot the enemies as they line up at the door, being held back by the lasers. Have some 2 or 3 at the windows while the other helps you shoot from the door. Also, it helps to have a guy in the pistol spawn to shoot at the enemies from behind. And BOOM! There you go. Of course, we failed once or twice but I found it to be the best.

What map and base do you recommend(from the Forces of Nature map) to someone who is trying to beat all 50 waves by themselves.
Casual difficulty, super reload, instagib, and big explosions mutators.

**Bloomy** · 04-16-2012, 01:52 AM

One of the Command Centers for Blood Drive is listed under the wrong base and isn't shown on the map. The Train Station base doesn't have one, but the Courtyard base does (it's by the Scorcher).

**ArcAngel** · 04-16-2012, 05:37 AM

I don't have a command centre listed in the Train Station.
If there is one in the Courtyard I'll check it's exact location tonight and update the map.
Unless anyone can let me know it's exact location.

Cheers for the heads up.

The Blood Drive page is showing me a Command Center under the Train Station base. The Courtyard Command Center is on the cover between the decoy and Scorcher, on the Scorcher side.
