At first, this new project of mine is in idea study with a little big of terrain made. I post it only because I need your support and... suggestions 
No title yet » I really hope that someone has a good idea on this
At first it was "City of the DEADS" but it's lame to be honest 
...
The main idea » A big 3d city is overrun by zerg(I haven't yet decided by who). There are survivors in the city and rescue teams trying to rescue them. But of course stuff never goes that smooth with zerg and rescuers lose the retreat way. Being trapped in the city fighting off zerg. However I will let players to drive the storyline as they want. So every game you play can have it's own unique story in it.
Player side » I believe that most of you have thought that players will have to play only as rescuers or survivors. But I give players choice to be as rescuer or survivor.
Rescue side (2 players) » You are dropped by the cost side of the city with infantry squad and several heavy support units. Your primary objective is to rescue as many civilians as you can. To accomplish that first you need to assault and take over the supply station where you establish your base and can receive support from your main base.
Survivor side (2 players) » You own one of mineral quarries of the city. You with several other survivors have managed to get it running and harden you positions there. Each player has his own quarry and can expand to one of 2 abandoned quarries. Survivors can supply rescuers with minerals by sending them mineral cargos(reavers). and in exchange rescuers help you to fight off zerg.
Terrain will be made using my favorite 3 tile stacking which you saw in [GTA classic]. But the terrain will be a bit more advanced and different because the city is wasted.
Screenshots...
North quarry (Players 3)
Basic building near cost
This quarry and several more buildings is all I have done so far.
Hoping for co-operation

Yeah overrun is a pretty cool name for your map to have and for the zerg name maybe Chaos Fang, or Apocalypse fang or something

Overrun is a nice name (better than a lot of the other rpgs). For the zerg are you thinking this map would be encompassed in the SC universe or in a world thats just getting attacked by aliens?

I wouldn't really go with an alien theme, because aliens would strike from air all the time. Also, I think that there are a bit too many zombie maps out, but you could if you wanted, or if you really needed something to fall back on.
My suggestion would be go with monsters of some sort (kinda like the ones on Starship Trooper: where they are very numerous but not that intelligent. Or maybe the ones like on Pitch Black or something). Going with these would require a story line though, and if you ddon'treally want a story line in the game...you could always go with zombies because they ddon'treally require story lines (apart from a briefing that says they took over the city lol).
Aliens could be a good idea if you went with the theme of them being first wave shock troopers, but then they wouldn't be aimlessly walking around in the streets not doing anything; chances are they lead organized assaults on the bases.
So as much as I hate to say it, I think your best bet would probably be some sort of zombie infestation, because zombies do aimlessly walk around in streets, and can also attack your base in a big swarm. Hope that helped.

Don't just choose random names for the heck of it.
"Overrun" was used by DEAD himself in the original description, it has not been used as the name of other maps, and it fits the situation very well.

I agree with you. But you must admit that mosters in both these movies were aliens
I don't vant a zombie map, if I would want a zombie map I would post it as zombie map. What I want is vicius mindless swarms of mosters, but still smart enough to organize their attacks over survvors
A storyline? I might try to make up a nice backstory on this.
