<div class="IPBDescription">read or leave</div>Gameplay:
Human players join the marines.
The marines have only two armorys.
One life.

The aliens are all bots, but there a lot of aliens(maybe rcbot?!).
They are attacking all 10 minutes (maybe 20 aliens, the countdown start at the first wave comes, so you have 10 minutes to kill all 20 aliens, heal your mates, buy new stuff before the second,3,4,5,6,7,8 waves comming.)

The marines need to hold them and be alive, all rushes they get 1 point to buy :
- Shotgun (2 points)
- armory (1 point, max 2, if the old destroyed)
- welder (1 points)
- turret (2 points)
- catalyst (2 points)
- armory upgrades 1-3 (1 point per level)
- weapon upgrades 1-3 (1 point per level)
- 1 extra life??!! (2 points)

The alien get with all rounds new upgrades.
the upgrades choose by chance.


Start:
Marines with pistol, lmg


Win:
If the marines stay all 8 rushes alive the won the game.


Lost:
If all marines dead


Version2:
maybe the marines can spawn near friends next round...

    This kind of sounds like Co, however I am positive to the idea of co-op version of combat. or a game where the marines are defending instead of attacking...

    It's not a bad idea, but it needs more work....like, shotgun taking 3 points is perhaps a bit high.

    Yes I think that would be fun <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Marines have to hold out in a strong hold for a time or alien rush limit <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    last man standing/stand your ground mod?
    not a bad idea, but needs more work.

    yes, like last man standing (i play it 1 times in my live ^^)
    but its hard to say for me in english.

    But im sure you all know what i mean.

    Holding a place as a team versus enemy invasion.
    if invasion stops, you can heal/weld your friends.

    edit:first post!

    20 aliens every 5 minutes?
    So the aliens come and the fight goes maybe 1 or 2 minutes?
    Who need 3 minutes to heal, weld and reload?

    maybe at the beginning at the 20 aliens rush the countdown go down to 5 minutes, then come another rush so you have 5 minutes time to kill the 20 aliens, heal your mates and buy stuff....

    Cool idea, would be quite fun

    We sometimes do something kind of like this on the TG server when there aren't enough people for a classic game... you have ~3-4 bot aliens for each human marine.

    Not a bad idea. However if the AI isnt smart, this will be to easy. Large numbers of aliens would need to be sent to even make it hard. Some people might not have a computer to handle large amounts of units on the screen. Pathing would be hard due to the complexity of NS maps. Serious sam games can do it because theres alot of open space. You could give them tons of hp but that doesn't solve the issues that having a team of nothing but bots have.

    Pathing isn't an issue. If this gets implemented in Source, then the server will build a nav file for the bots to use. CS:S does it with amazing efficiency, and actually updates the nav files each time. So you'll get an easy game the first 10 or so times, then after that, it's gonna know what are good attack routes, and which are certain death.
    Seriously, I've seen bots take apart clans, after a few rounds against them...

    Sounds like UT 2004 invasion mod..

    AI would have to be pretty smart, so people don't hide up in some awkward spot where the AI isnt mapped to go.

    NS maps are more complex then CS maps. Also cs:s bots can be fooled. They only are good at the hardest difficulty. Then they have a aim bot, arent affected my FBs and can see thru smoke. They are still tactically stupid.

    invasion . hordes of dirty aliens...nice
  • schkorpioschkorpio I can mspaint Join Date: 2003-05-23 Member: 16635Members
    also i think it would be more fun if a marine dies, he will come back as an alien - rather than just spectating which is boring as ....
