Description

For decades, behind the public's eye, Horizon, the world's most powerful corporation, has been secretly experimenting with several anomalous artifacts, one of which recently caused an outbreak that spread throughout the region surrounding their own headquarters.

As a Task Force 27 operative from the secretive organization known as the Syndicate, you have been selected for "Operation Red Dawn" which aims to neutralize this said artifact located in the undergrounds of Horizon's HQ.

Now is the opportunity to deliver the fatal blow to Horizon.

Good luck soldier!

Map Features

2 Stages

Operation Red Dawn is divided into 2 phases: "Infiltration", and "Assault".

3 Bosses

During the two stages, you'll encounter a total of 3 bosses, each with varied mechanics.

HMV EXCELSUS

"Horizon stationed their latest war machine prototype in front of their HQ entrance before evacuating the region, presumably to stop potential intruders."

This boss is entirely controlled by the ZM team, which means its difficulty will depend on the tactical choices of the ZM team.

OBJECT-83

"Designated "Object 83" by Horizon, this anomalous artifact is the source of the zombie outbreak. Find a way to neutralize it before the outbreak spreads any further."

Coordinate strategically between defending zombies and defeating the boss.

HORIZON ONE

"Horizon CEO's personal aircraft. His presence was not planned, but we'll seize this opportunity to bring him down alongside his empire."

This boss is divided into 7 phases, progressively becoming more difficult.

3 Difficulties

There are three levels of difficulty in total, which add varying degrees of challenge to the map:

EZ MODE (easy difficulty) NORMAL MODE (default difficulty) RAGE MODE (hardcore difficulty)

The difficulties can be switched in the admin room and are saved between rounds. More details in this same room.

Special Weapons

"It is rumored that some kind of weapons from another realm suddenly appeared in our world after the Object-83 incident."

Various weapons with unlimited ammo reserves can be found throughout the map, with 4 of them having special abilities (like items).

Catch them all!

Dispensers / Medical Lockers

This map also features a "healing system" through CS2's healthshots refill.

ZMs "Dynamic" Shortcuts

To make the map's gameplay more dynamic; at multiple occasions, a portion of the ZM team will be randomly assigned to TPs often close to HUMANS' progression. Quick reaction from the human team will be necessary to deal with those ZMs shortcut effectively.

You'll always receive an alert through the console and HUD when a ZM shortcut activates, and are usually indicated by red flares.
