Alien Versus Predator
Hi, this is a truly great, and big map. It is based off of the Alien Versus Predator movie, consisting of 2 oil rigs and a middle temple.
[IMAGE]
You can only see the left end and temple, the map is so huge I would haveto put 4 screenshots together.
I created some scenerys for it also, and a friend helped map and made the predator statue.
Its one of the very few BIG maps, so you better like it. Download
Hope you like yet another NuZZ maps >_<

I'm sure you spent a lot of time on this, and I appreciate that, but I have to be honest. This map will never be playable.

First, there's the fact that there is hardly any scenery anywhere on the map. That alone makes it completely drab but if we overlook that we can clearly see that there are only two different colors used for the polygons. Again, this monotony makes the map boring.

As for the layout, it's just too big. It takes so long to get across the map that if I got killed even halfway I wouldn't want to respawn just to have to traverse that great distance all over again.

Plus, it's so huge that there would need to be so many players to fill it up that it would be too laggy.

And if anyone actually got a server to run this game, players would be quickly upset at the large spaces that are havens for snipers. Most notably are the entrances to the bases (which, any good mapmaker knows, there should always be more than one) in which a single sniper can fire three bullets down in the time it takes to climb up. That's a problem on it's own, but add in the fact that, because of the angle of the entrances, each bullet will travel the entire length of the entrance and players will have nowhere to hide.

I'm sorry to be so critical, but those things really stuck out when I played. Other than those major downfalls, it's a pretty decent map. If it were smaller and better layed out, It could be the most awesome map ever.

Errr, This map wasnt made for the laggy people or the fast game people.
Its for people who wanto play a big map and have lots of ways to play. Theres alot of places to hide, but that doesnt mean you will get snipered alot, I played with a few people, it was fun.

Okay, I was just inferring from the results that came from other maps like this...er...there aren't many other maps like this so it was just parts of other maps...

Either way, I would love to try it out.

Wow you must have spent a lot of time on this :9 10/10 for effort and excellence. Fewer poly bugs than many smaller maps, good job. It is possible to M79 jump over both hills, I don't know if you did that on purpose, but it might favor M79ers a little ;)

Good (albeit large) map. Terrible movie. Absolute rubbish.

I SO need to see that movie.

It looks really nice. It's Fing HUGE though, and yea it might take a while to traverse it, but hey, sometimes I'm in the mood for bigass maps.

One of those maps that may turn into a Barretfast, though. I can just imagine 4 people with Barrett camping at the bottom of that tunnel, taking turns firing up......eeek.

You should have seen the Alien movies...truly one of the greatest sci-fi/horror movies of all time. Alien rocks Predator's ass, period.

The movie wasnt that bad. Too much action, too less horror and no blood at all. Thats it. Also there were some stupid mistakes (they better be mistakes) like, facehugers evolve to fast(10 minutes?). but other than that and the fact that the preds die too quickly(2/3 die in 1 scene, wtf) it's a good movie.

About the map. It's nice, a bit big but thats the plan right? Not much scenery in there. I like the tunnel(weeeeeeeeeeeee!).
Good work! 6.5/10

um, droop, 2/3 didnt die in one scene. didnt you watch the ending? the predators uncloacked after Scar died, revealing a ship full of 'em. so it was more like 1/500 of them died in one scene.

Thanks for spoiling the movie for me. Now you can go back to getting the hell out of here. ^_^

On Topic: Huuuuuuge...and a little empty. But otherwise good job. :)

It's pretty good. A bit too big for it's own well-being, but good job none the less.

paramud: Yes but do the cloaked guys fight? No. In my opinion they screwed the movie a bit.
