Red Lining

Red Lining is a non-existent zombies map created by Magma-Man for Black Ops 4 and the third chapter of the Eternal Deception storyline. It is loosely inspired by Usopire, a map from the original storyline.

Unlike previous maps, Christopher Nooring serves as the announcer, and instead of obtaining a Specialist Weapon, the players quickly gain the ability to turns into powerful werewolves through Transformation, with the ability to shoot streams of flames through their wrists.

Opening Cutscene
Charlotte is driving through long, empty highways surrounded in forest, staring ahead blankly. Lily is in the passenger side, her hand reassuringly on Charlotte's leg, Charlie and Daniel in the back. Daniel is sweating profusely and keeps glancing all different directions.

"I know how this is supposed to go..." The strange voice rang through Charlotte's ears. She ran through the words over and over as she continued to drive. "You are the only one who can end this, because we made you perfect."

They finally reach their destination, a mansion atop of a high hill. Charlotte beings to drive up the road towards it, a sharp incline. The wind begins to pick up, seeming to push them back down. Charlotte revs the engine harder and harder, the wind picks up more and more. An evil laugh booms through the forest. "Coming to my home so soon!? I've barely had time to get settled." The voice of Eldritch Barlow, the Master Vampire spoke, mockingly. Charlotte grits her teeth and revs the car as hard as she can, blood starts to pool down from the top of the hill, previously clear sky fills with clouds.

"You can do this Charlotte, I can help you!" The voice rang in her head, but it wasn't a memory, it was talking to her again.

"Charlotte what are you doing!?" Charlie asks and reaches over to grab the wheel. Lightning crashes from the sky, drops of red rain fall onto the car.

"We're going to die!" Lily covers her eyes.

"Not yet... this isn't how it happens." Daniel hangs his head in defeat, barely managing to let out his short breaths.

The car flips over and tumbles down the hill, almost flying off into the air as the gusts of wind become more and more powerful. The voice of Christopher Nooring calls out one last time. "This is the end, Charlotte, but not for you!" The car hits a large tree, and the scene cuts to black.
