Hello there
I'm new on your site and I am a StarCraft map maker (a lot of melee and a few of UMS)
This map is inspired by the movie : Predator.

Storyline / Introduction
In a sinister forest, a small group of Soldiers must eliminate a terrorist faction.. But they feel a presence...
The players can choose between two races : the Predators and the Humans. The Humans must kill all the Predators and vice versa.
Features
-Player Interface
This map is like a RPG : you control one unit, and you try to survive in the jungle, with sinister and unknown sounds everywhere.
Like the movie, there is a Terrorist encampment near the Predator Start.
You can :
- With the Predator : switch between the invisble Predator and the visible Predator.
- With the Human : switch between a Soldier and a Soldier without weapon (in this form, the Predator can't kill you)
-What's new in your map that others have not done before?
In these maps, they're always buildings, and massacre. But in this map, the word is : Survive ! You've only one unit in the ground, one chance, and if you been killed, you lose !
Details
-Characters
- Predator : Protoss Zealot
- Invisible Predator : Protoss Dark Templar
- Soldier : Terran Marine
- Soldier without weapon : Terran Civilian
-Weapons
Normal weapons
-Items
- For Humans and Predators : Mines

- Only for Predators : See Humans on map with pings (10 seconds)

A bit like "The Thing", lose one man and your out.
But i think predator killed unarmed ppl in the movie, why not on this map ?

i actaully thought of making a predator map and thought up of a system with the 3 dot thingy to work (by casting nukes).
I might still have some of the jungle terrain i was making for it.
Imo i think this would work a lot better if there were 4 humans and the rest comp (including the predator) and the goal would be to reach the play where the helicopter lands with puzzles and etc. That is what i tried to do. GL

Hmm no, the girl in the movie wasn't killed, because she was unarmed. The Predator don't find it amazing I think.
Yes and no, the map is like The Thing, and isn't like The Thing. You must play for see the difference

Look very interesting
Good Luck for your project
I'm on my decision, my map will be like the begining idea, players often like these maps

Cool. A cross-over with Predator, and then with limitations to Starcraft and your non-originality, The Thing. I'll test this out when it's finished. But, I might forget about it >.>' Either way, I'll still play this map..somehow. I'm sure! Really sure. Anyhow, good luck on the map. And welcome to SEN, fellow Map Maker!

Hmmm I agree that the first thing that came to mind was "The Thing." And I was actually hoping you'd have the Predator be a computer.
A few questions:
1. What happens if every one chooses Predator or if every one chooses Human?
2. Why is there more than 1 predator?
3. In the original "Predator," the creature hunted Arnold even when he had no weapon so smildon's comment isn't that inaccurate. So why allow the humans to drop their weapons? And when they drop them, do they lose them forever? It seems pretty unrealistic for them to become unarmed by hiding weapons and then having them again later.
4. How do you plan to balance this? Can 1 Human still take down 3 Predators or will it be practically impossible?

This looks good. I see you must of put some work into it but adds some more terrain to give it more feel then deal.

this is wayyyy too much like "The Thing". Also how come there is no aliens if this is taken from the movie "Aliens versus Predators" ??
if you take that movie and you convert it into a map idea it would be nice to make Aliens and Predators both computer controlled however making them "smart" so like -- if there was 3 people in the room -- Alien a Predator and a Human then make the alien go for the predator and vice versa because they are bigger threats to each other.
If the Predator see's the human with no weapon he ignores them. If the humans are grouped together then the aliens will find the best stratergy to set up etc... but if you make them do actual stuff that you'd expect to see in real life then it could be better then just like "random suicide mission" or making them players.

Its not from "Aliens versus Predator," its from the 1987 movie "Predator." They are different films. "AvP" simply combined the creature fromt he movie "Alien" with the creature from the movie "Predator."

Hmm...seems interesting. Hope you dont make it like The thing like that guy said.
Make sure to add new weapons and make it pretty hard for the players to kill the predators.

Whoa, thanks for the replies
The map isn't like The Thing, teamplay is highly recommended for each team in order to survive and kill the others.
There are 4 Human slots, and 4 Predator slots. The game won't start if each team don't have the same number of players. It'll not cool if there are 4 humans and one Predator
For the weapons, yeah, I have already added a flamethrower, and mines.
You can find some food in the jungle in order to heal.
For Alien versus Predators, it's a good idea, but my first is on Predator. But I note it for a further map
Impossible like I said up
If there is one Predator, It'll be like The Thing, and I don't want this. My map is based on teamplay
Hmmm. I will think about it.
Teamplay.
For each team, you must be in squads for kill an enemy unit. For exemple, there is a marine alone somewhere, and a Predator saw him. If the Predator attacks, he will die because the marine have a very good weapon. But, he have a friend near, which is visible too. They can kill the Human now, but, there's another human hidden behind a tree. So, there's a battle, and each team can win, if they know how to use items

Gosh, that made as much sense as a Gay Marriage,
Like Each Player should be able to Mud Cloak (Given Ghost Unit and can cloak, no damage)
Also, The Human Players should be 6, and 1 Predator ( 1 computer )
Predator needs alot of Gadgets
- Use the abilities via dropship
- Heavy Jungle

Yeah I think its already imbalanced to begin with. The reason why there was only 1 Predator is because multiple would kill the humans with no contest. If you were to include all the gadgets that the predators had, then "teamwork" is irrelevant. The humans would lose every time.
And the "mud cloak" idea is sensible, but when wearing mud, the humans could still attack. If you're still going based on the movie, Arnold used mud to cloak himself from the heat-seeking ability of the Predator.
Also, does the game end when one team is wiped out? That seems like it will either be a short game or it will take forever. And if its long, people will just leave - which is why I asked about a 1 vs 3 hypothetical situation.
