Called Extreme2 after in which you win ZM Round (if you lost the ZM Round, you gotta do it again), theres not much difference but I gotta say its epic but fail in gameplay-wise.
Extreme2 Mode summary and strategies:
There will be explosions everywhere at the start and the sign in which is telling who created the map and the blog's link will begin to break and fall off from the explosion (you can walk through it), the gate next to that board on the left will explode a couple seconds later also.
The first hold point will not be the same, and will be alot harder to defend. The box will break and explode on the left. The right side will also explode on the top part making 2 ways the zombie can get in (The top and the tunnel hole).
Second hold point, the spot with the 10 sec door will have the bottom bar will explode of those 2 bars which makes it also hard to defend, the top will be open as always like in Extreme.
More explosions. Everything will be the same till the boss.
The boss is different now. Not only it will be colored red, it will also have all the Materia powers (Wind, Fire, Electro, Heal, etc). Its strongly recommended to have all Materias at this point, use Fire and Electro for damage and Ice to stall his time more on the Bahamut.
Do not stay on top of the rails because if Bahamut uses Wind, he will push you off.
If Electro was used by Bahamut, quickly jump on the rails so the damage wont hit you and quickly go off it after its done.
Bahamut will sometimes use Heal to gain 150HP.
Bahamut will also sometimes use Earth to block you from shooting, you will have to shoot the Earth wall instead so you can shoot the Bahamut.
Bahamut will cast Ultima sometimes, Heal++ is needed to avoid this. If he casts Ultima, wait 17 secs and use Heal after 17 secs has passed when he uses Ultima or else everyone will die.
Bahamut will sometime use Fire, buy Kelvar and Helmet for this because it will do damage to that instead of your HP.
Bahamut will sometime use Ice, doesnt really affect you, just freezes you on the spot.
At the end, Bahamut will do what he always do. Bend down and unleashes Mega Flare. Be sure to use your grenades when he bends down.
After he is defeated, its best to use Ice or Gravity there (Do not use Earth!), the cage opens more earlier than in Extreme. When everyone has finished going up, person who has the Earth Materia must use it on top of the ladder to stall more time.
At some point, at the start of the tunnel where you go down to the core for the boss, Sephiroth would appear. I suggest only one person goes and activate Sephiroth's slash if his good at dodging it while everyone stays down on the diagonal ladder.
Up to the last room point. You will see that the tank will explode (this is mainly because of overseas server who plays default CTs settings would camp up the top, where zombies cant knife unless someone edges or they had gotten through the original way from jumping to on top like the humans). Its best to defend the whole way, half elevator, half vents. All Materia is still strongly recommended.
There is no buttons for this level also.
The best tactic is to use Electro in both vents and the elevator. Then use Fire somewhere in that time after Electro is finish. Earth should be used in elevator.
Wind++ should really be used when before about 5 secs the 35 secs door will open.
Ultima should be used after 15 secs when you reach the End Room, so it can affect and kill the Bahamut at the end instead of humans wasting ammo on it. But if not you will have to save some. Its also good to use Gravity while Ultima is nearly done from its countdown to group the zombies.
When the door opens, be sure to shoot (with your primary. P90 or M249 is the best choice) as soon as you see a blue shiny ball. Because if you dont, it would kill everyone, thus, losing the round.
After that, KH2 Sephiroth would appear! He will continously spam his slashes (Diagonal Cut, Low Cut, High Cut). Its best to stay on the right side to dodge all of them.
Not only that, you have to kill him fast because the door for the bunker behind him closes in while you kill him (Not killing him and attempting to go in wont work because it will be blocked).
Zombies are also available to kill the Humans while they are busy with Sephiroth. The slashes wont affect the zombies unlike Extreme's Sephiroth.
Sacrifices are needed at this point, some need to defend while some are needed to kill. Even if the people who faced Sephiroth did kill him and made it into the bunker, and the people who defended are still alive, they wont be able to make it because the nuke goes on early.
Be sure to buy a good machine gun (P90s and M249s are the best choices), a Grenade (save it until the boss, only use it if your in a desperate situation), Any pistol you want (Deagle sucks for ZE though), and Kelvar and Helmet also known as Armor!
Its best to use your Secondary the whole way until the boss, its quite long.
If you guys want me to tell you Materia locations, I'm happy to do so but it will take a while =P
