―Map biography

Destati (Latin for Awaken) is the fifth and final map of the A Better Tomorrow saga. It takes place at the Griffith Observatory located in Los Angeles, California.

Overview[]

Destati is a small map, being slightly bigger than Biker's Wrath, but not as big as Museum. Players spawn on a small path to the north of the observatory, which leads into the parking lot. The parking lot contains several vehicles, weapons and cover for the player to use. Between the parking lot and the observatory is a large courtyard, with a massive ancient pillar in the center of the open area. To the left of the pillar if coming from the parking lot is a small underground generator room covered in a wired fence around it. Continuing on from the courtyard is the observatory, which contains several paths branching all around the building. The roof of the building can be accessed as well, which contains several wallbuys and crates. The Desert Eagle returns as the starting weapon, which hasn't been featured as a weapon since Station Eleven.

Story[]

The four awaken in the collapsing future timeline a day following the events of Humane. Armed with the Summoning Key, the four engage the zombies once more. As they find more audio logs from Roach around the area, they soon discover what they would have to do. After playing the last audio log, they realize once the rift has been sealed, they would be erased from history forever in order to create an established continuity throughout all of time. Arriving at the Morbid Pillar in the courtyard in front of the observatory, the four insert the Summoning Key in a circular slot at the base of the pillar. The entire pillar suddenly began to glow green as the massive rift directly above started to expand even further. Just as the rift engulfed the entire sky, the pillar shot out a massive green beam, causing a surge of green energy to flow through the sky. Suddenly, a massive explosion occurred in the center of the rift, causing it to seal up before fading away into the cloudy night. The four then looked around them as there was nothing left but them drifting in space with debris left from the future. Suddenly, the four realize that though they sealed off the rift, the future timeline still existed and has formed a new alternate dimension, one that they were ultimately trapped in.
