Black Lung

Black Lung is the new map that will be released in the 10/20/10 Content Update. It is confirmed to be the new Fireteam map, though it has been speculated to include other game modes as well.

Overview
In Black Lung, players will once again face off against the Infected in an underground coal mine.

Mission Briefing
Black Lung combines the concepts of both Quarantine and Fireteam, creating an experience similar to Cabin Fever.

Quarantine Elements Fireteam Elements
 * As in Quarantine, The Infected cannot use ranged attacks; they make up for this by being able to inflict high melee damage and having special abilities.
 * Instead of just a few Infected, you will encounter near-endless hordes of them.
 * Each of the Infected will come in different forms.
 * Like any Fireteam map, messages are constantly being sent in to keep you updated on the situation.
 * Your enemies are once again the Infected.
 * Players respawn and heal a little after each round. Their ammo is also completely replenished. Before each cutscene, players will respawn or fully heal with max HP.
 * Special utility packs are once again present.


 * 1) Standard Ammo packs are for most primary weapons, usually Assault Rifles or SMGs. They can be noted by their plain, beige color. 
 * 2) Heavy Ammo packs are much more scarce; they can replenish anything the SA packs would, as well as Explosive, Sniper, Shotgun, Handgun, and Specialist ammo.. They can be noted by their magenta color and larger size.
 * 3) Health packs are the rarest of all the packs, and will fully replenish your HP. They can be noted by their green hue and the icon of a green cross upon the pack.

Pre-Game Preparation
(TBE)

Remember that headshots are instant kills if aimed correctly, or performed with the right weapons. They may not get you as much points, but you will get through the round faster by aiming for the head (Sniper Rifles are recommended). Before entering a room, decide on how you're going to try and win. Get plenty of kills (but earn less points), or get plenty of points (but earn less kills). Different strategies can get different reward results. Try moving around. If you decide to camp in one location, it can be a mistake you will regret.

Trivia

 * Black Lung is the 3rd Fireteam map to be released, after Desert Thunder and Cabin Fever. It is also the second Fireteam map to include the Infected.
 * Black Lung features new types of Infected. Stay tuned for updates.
 * Black Lung is the 4th map to be named after a medical term, after Overdose, Cabin Fever, and Vertigo.
 * The term Black Lung is a disease that affects coal miners and other people who work in sooty/underground areas. Since the map takes place in a coal mine, the name is appropriate.
 * Ironically, there was a real-life news about a Chilean mine accident a day or two before this was announced. Miners who had been trapped for days had successfully been evacuated.
 * When Black Lung was first leaked, many people thought that the new map was actually Metro Mayhem, a similarly-based suggestion in the Nexon Forums.
