Okay, if you have read the third Starcraft book, you can skip this next paragraph, I'm just going to sum it up.

This book is about a guy named Ardo that is seperated from his love at his home colony. The Zerg attack his town and a marine dropship comes and grabs him, but his girlfriend does not get on the dropship. The he joins the marines to try to get revenge against the Zerg. He ends up trying to find the Psi Emitter on Mar Sara. It is not activated when his squad finds it and they also find a unconsious, but living, civilian that they also bring back, but then the Zerg come up and the marines slowly move back to the command post where the lieutenant is. Then they find out the dropship stoped coming. They end up running back to camp, and barely make it back. They just get out of the crader in time to get out of the blast radius of a nuke that was aimed at the town they were in. The nuke kills all the Zerg, so they don't need to wory about those. Then they find out the the main base that had a lot of marines is evacuated. There is a lot of story line junk, and finally they tell the Sons of Korhal to evac the citys, and they turn on the Psi Emitter so the Zerg attack them instead of the citys. They die, but the citys were evacuated.

It is a really good story line, and would make a good map. You could have 6 human players, and 1 Zerg and one allied Terran computer.

If anybody wants to make this map, notify me. If nobody does, I'll come start working on it. If you have any ideas for how too make something, let me know, I'll see if it works.

Not too much of a team effort. They all died in the end, remember?

Only Ardo, Cutter, Breanne, and that old Sergant would be worth having in there. Not to mention, it'd be almost more of a movie map.

But hey, go for it.


SPEED OF DARKNESS PWNS!!!


Hey, they book rocked.

i nvr read the books so i have no idea wats happened, but im not the one for the storyline, maybe instaed of playin the amin characters, ior watever, ea player is a marine but maybe hav seperate skills that players can choose b4 gameplay, just an idea. im not sur how the story plays out but its always nice to add a twist of some sort, like maybe 1 larva survived that got seperated from the zerg and rebuilt a colony, of course this can b made into a map of its own.

well here i am rambling on about something i know nothing about, hope i helped tongue.gif

Okay, but if anybody else wants to, please speak up because I'm not too good, and I would give up pretty quickly.

Well, what I could do would be to have 4 players, and then you gain controll of new people as you go, then lose them as you die. Also, the whole point is that they died so thousands could live.

I like a multiplayer map, just because its more like real life (you can't control everything, other people need to help) and also, there are lots of comands that only squads have that would take forever if only one person was doing it.

Again, see above.

Ya, first, I didn't explain the plot to well, and I'm way too lazy to. If someone else even wanted to do something of a variation.

Okay, ya, again, If anybody wants to take over, they are welcome too. helpsmilie.gif
