What do you mean we will have to play to get the storyline? If you made the map then you should be able to give us the storyline. Unless you did this map and added random stuff to it

I guess he means you gotta play the map to play it? Not knowign anything about the story isnt a good way to attract people

Kinda like a lot of good games out there, the TRUE plot cannot be stated, otherwise the fear effect goes down.

Sounds like a nice zombie map. I like the fact that you have both a story mode AND a free roam mode in the same map.

I thought this would be alot better than the previous map, all my ideas were starting to point to an rpg like this. I think we all agree the last map wasn't a very well planned map. So, my problem now being that I'm not sure if I should add an infected player as your enemy so the game would be 2 Player.

I think its an good idea.
I never saw something like that before.

I always thought a single player map could be good but also kind of lacking the fun of other players...trash talking each other, accusing the other one of hacks, getting advice, asking questions, and unique interactions unlike computer player AI.

Multiplayer story mode can lead to some complications or someone leaving if they are on alternate paths. Lots of times people will get tired of waiting to play and leave.

Yea, I've experienced that in some of the maps I've made. Where the game requires 5 people to play, and if someone leaves or dies... that's it. You have to restart. It was at first hard to stay alive, but I made it just a tad bit easier. Gotta love Alone in the Dark.

ah what unit should the chainsaw be...
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Mp)Blu on 2007-02-07 at 23:54:59
Chainsaw = vulture?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by MutilatedPuppet on 2007-02-08 at 00:01:06
In AloneInTheDark, I have the chainsaw a Zealot. In a map such as this, however, you may want to consider, if you do have a Zealot representing a chainsaw, not having any shields...
The biggest reason why I suggest not having shields, you probably already know this, if the unit gets injured, shields can regenerate, while hit points can't. Unless you have all the other units Zerg units, then 0 shields would most likely be your best bet.
Like I said, you may already know this and are far ahead of me in your infinite wisdom... I say that, because this map sounds amazing, or I may have given a slight point to consider.

yes yes i know about shields...vulture isn't a good unit..any slow or human unit with melee will work... but what unit.. High templar? when units become to close they instantly die (every 3 secounds or something)

What about an Ultra? I mean, they have big blades... just put a chainsaw .wav whenever he attacks.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Mp)Blu on 2007-02-09 at 10:57:48
I think ultras are to huge of a unit. If I were to use a chainsaw unit I'd like a small unit. Ultras are the units that I'd like to add as the strong enemy.

Man, I am just offering ideas. I thought the Zealot was the better of the two ideas, but o well.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by JoJo. on 2007-02-09 at 15:07:23
then i thought up a grenade system, when you use a grenade an observer appears over you for 4 secounds...in that 4 secounds you must move the observer to wherever you want the explosion to occur. Killing the zombies.
