Ok, so finally, ive decided to make a map, ive been playign AVP2 lately and all the alien maps gping around have inspired me, so im making my own, and here it is!

[center][/center]

[center]Terrain: [progress]60[/progress]
Unit Placement: [progress]15[/progress]
Triggers : [progress]25[/progress]
Sounds: [progress]50[/progress][/center]


The story starts as the Horizon mining ship sends in a distress call, In the call they say that the place has been attacked by Xenomorphs. A recon team is sent in to the ship to secure and control the threat. They report in fine and the task force starts to board the ship.

As the strike force baords the ship, they find the recon team slaughtered. Then, all hell breaks lose, The Xenomorphs attack and slaughter the task force.

Now, an ellite squad enters the ship, told to destroy it at any cost.

(Thats were you come in BTW)

Horizon features a great storyline (which you will have to play to find out) and all the trimmings, upgrades, special abilities, puzzles, kill-a-thons and much more as you and up to 4 friends head for the control room to activate the ships self destruct mechanism.

Expect many twists and turns to the story along the way!'

A Big Bad Preatorian


More Tips, how to open a door


Opening a door, also notice the aliens running up the stairs


OMFG, the Flight prep room is a breeding room - lucky the queen is out

Crits, Comments, Questions Welcome!

Hmm, this looks like one of the good ones! But watch your grammar, I think I saw some errors in those screenshots.

I agree this does look good, also this one is in the instillation terrain, alot of these kind of maps are... But mine's not Im original, twilight creepiness.

BTW sounds cool.

Sorry bout the grammar, i just noticed that when i posted it, all fixed now, thanks for the complaments =)

High, have you played Aliens: Harvest? (My Map)

If you haven't... DO IT NOW OR I'LL HURT YOU. (It's in the DLDB)



Also, one more tip, if you post more Screenshots, save them as gifs!!

gifs, got it.
I think i have Xeno, ill play it agian to see

EDIT: More screens added!

Now wasn't that screen alot nicer in terms of quality?

Yeh it was, added another one too incase u didnt see, i love it cause a random egg explodes and a face hugger comes out

I think what you want is " , they're hatching!"

High do you get on B.net alot, I'd like to test with you and point out your flaws with crippling honesty.

Havnt been on b.net for ages, but i might start up again soon. I lov crippling honesty, makes better maps

Well, if you do I think you know where I am.

(CLAN UUU, GOGOGOGO)

Looks nice and pub-friendly. Good luck.

Another shot added
( these shots are straigth of the press, i make it, then i post it)

Ill probally stop now beacause i dont want to give away the story too much

When u puttin the map out? It looks pretty awesome

Another Alien map? Sweet.

I only started making it this morning lol

Looks ok i suppose, though the terrain looks blank, though i am sure you can improve that asap, it is without life at the moment! Thats the major issue with Installation, limited Doodads!

Yeh, and half the sprites cash starforge

looks awsame even the screenshots are better than my trailer and map....keep goin man i really wanna test it when it comes out!!

, so much priase, i like this

Anyway, special ability ideas, help me out

Pulse Rifle Unit: M40 Grenades, 8 per clip
Flamethrower: No idea
Sniper Rifle : Zoom (obsever comes out, instant kill)

Need Item ideas too

Ive got:
Medipack (duh)
Hacking Devcie ( for hard to open places, you wont acually need one but it will make the game esaier)
Welding Torch: For opening and closing some doors

Contribute!

I really think you need more weapons, like a shotgun or even the Smart Gun. As for items, the Motion Tracker is always a must. In addition to the Hacking Device for opening doors, you could throw in a few Keycards. You should change the Sniper special ability to something along the lines of say, Head Shot; I have no ideas for the Flamethrower special ability.

I even have an alternate storyline idea for you. Maybe the Horizon mining ship is owned and operated by Weyland-Yutani, and it was also being used for Xenomorph research by the Bio-Weapons Division. The Xenomorphs got out during an experiment gone wrong and killed everyone. Another objective for the Marines could be to download data about the Xenomorphs from the Horizon's mainframe before blowing it. There's another use for the Hacking Device, and there's another new item: the Laptop. Take the Laptop to the mainframe and transfer the data to it.

is it me or have the aliens really came out of the maps?


Alien Harvent

A|iens Code H.

Alien: Horizon


all H?

i got code h from harvest

It's not my fault you took the H from Harvest, you poser.

Also, my alien maps are Aliens(s)... I have a thing for small details.

bah i didnt take it... inless you want me to put Harvest

1. more weapons

Of the Top of my head
Smartgun- Raynor (cause of the extra range)
Pulse Rifle -Marine
Shotgun: Normal ghost (w/0 range upgrade)
Sniper : A Hero Ghost (same reason ahs raynor)
Flamethrower: Firebat

2. Motion tracker, yeh, any give me ideas how to make this work?

3. Keycards etc were already planned

About your story, its kinda unoriginal (coughresurectioncough) but yeh, i think there will be xeno reaserach, so ill probally use that laptop idea too
