I was going to make a movie of it, but i thought that would suck. so here goes.
I hope someone enjoys the look of this so far. You'll note its based from the Aliens point of view, which i thought is a rather unique way to sequel such a well planned movie.

War of the Worlds 2
-= Storyline =-
After the failed invasion of the planet "AC-1220", the "Warlords" decided to make another plan for the invasion of this planet. But things had become more complicated. The 'Humans' as they were often called, had stolen Technology from our decimated "Wraiths". They gained knowledge of the 4th state of matter, plasma, and a greater understanding of the way atoms, ions and electrons all react under certain temperatures, and discovered at extremely low temperatures, splitting electrons and concentrating the reaction into a fine beam, could create the commonly used "E-beam". which was often attached to our "Wraiths". With our technology, the human race grew, abundant and began to manipulate resources to the better, often using them as catalysts, preventing the usage of their once primitive means of power, "fossil fuels". Several times we tried to Land Wraiths on the surface and attack once again, but, if the humans and thier newly acquired weapons did not kill the Wraiths, then the diseases on this war torn planet did. Eventually we realised that most of the microscopic organisms on AC-1220 were airborn, so we learnt to seal the pilots in. It would seem doing this, only made things worse, as the Humans, being far more able to use this against us then we ever thought possible, often used deadly smoke, or they would heat the wraiths up to temperatures where the pilot inside was boiled alive. We viewed our previous observation records of the planet before the original failed invasion, and discovered something quite unique to this race. It seemed they had discovered something that we had never thought of. They had invented something called: "Artificial Intelligence", or "AI", which would be used in Mechanical Structures, giving the metal structure a sense of "Life". It would seem, using this and similair things, they could control Mechanical equipment over great distances, or possibly even give the machine a user interface, allowing a human to find problems within the machinery much faster, we found one common term was "Computers". The Council made a decision. We needed to retreive some of this Technology, and if we could, implement it into our Wraiths, which would put organic problems such as Diseases or the loss of Gat's behind us, and we could concentrate on disabling the human's technology. If we could succeed, the planet would be ours. The war would be over, and the blood shed could end.
-= Your Mission =-
Enter and secure a Human Building. Isolate a computer system and bring it back in-tact, to a pick up point, where a distraction fleet of wraiths will keep the humans eyes on the other side of their residences, while a small Ship comes and picks you up.
Unit Schematics.
-= Common Names =-
- Ours - Humans -
Wraith - Tripod
Gat - Tripod Pilot
Scan-T - Scanner Arm
War Lords - ????????
Ship -Dropship/Transport
E-Beam - Beam Cannon
Capital Ship- Son of a |3itch
AC-1220 - Earth
Note: The Human Equivelant names were taken from rough audio recordings, and therefore may be innacurate.
-= Weapons =-
IEP - Isolated Explosion Probe - A small Hand held ball that releases a discharge of Heat and light, enough to succesfully punch through some armour.
Chesper Weapon - A small Hand held Beam Rifle that will kill most Humans in one shot. Single Handed weapon.
Beam Rifle - A Double handed heavier version of the Chesper. Not much more effective, But does fit more Battery Cartons.
E-Rifle - Electron Rifle - A weapon that fires a concentrated Electron Beam. the Beam is continuous unlike the Chesper until over-heating or the Battery Carton Empties.
IPC - Individual Plasma Cannon - A shoulder mounted long cylindrical weapon based on the Humans "Rocket-launcher", But with Explosive Plasma Rounds instead of the normal powder based rounds Humans use. Each Round must be loaded seperately and therefore is not a fast Fire Weapon.
MDBPC - Mounted Dual-Barrelled Plasma Cannon - A mounted version of the IPC, with 2 Barrells instead of the larges singular one featured on the IPC. This Fires Smaller still explosive rounds, which are automatically fed into the Chambers before firing. This weapon can be packed up and carried, but it is extremely heavy. It does Maximum damage to all Armour Types including Infantry, but has a very limited firing angle, so the Weapon Position can easily be out-flanked.

I hope someone enjoys the look of this so far. You'll note its based from the Aliens point of view, which i thought is a rather unique way to sequel such a well planned movie.

Looks very interesting, and will make for a fun map. Did you put the story together yourself?

Interesting indeed.

Yes actually, i put it together in about half an hour. Only thing thats bad is i did it without drafts, but thats kinda good because i watched the movie, got up while the credits were on and started writing. so..
yeh.
Ive started working on terrain, and ill post some screenshots soon. The only thing is, it will be hard to implement the full story into the battle net public, as they'll probably need a crap load of explaining. you saw the paragraph of the story. there is no way i can put that in a map and get people to read it. no way.
Anyways, i dont know about demo's. i usually do things puposefully left undone so i can fix them easily, but people i test with cant seem to work it out..
or maybe im just retarded.
thabnks for the support guys

You really need to see the movie to fully understad the storyline. If you've seen the movie this will look alot better.

This sounds cool. After you're done with this, you should do a human one, where the aliens develope a new type of weapon.

i agree, a movie would be boring...
anyway... sounds coooool, but in the briefing, don't put all of that... everyone will have left once its done...
looks good anyways...
when u have a playable demo, feel free to PM me
