INTRODUCTION
Aliens Vs. Predator, the movies of famously terrifying characters FROM space, battling it out, tooth and nail, IN space, along with a couple humans wandering around, being human. The popular game AVP 2 used amazing graphics *for its time*, and it was generally fun to play. Fox interactive made asymmetrical, specialized teams designed and crafted for different play styles. To this day it ranks in my top 10 list of the best games I've ever played, and it's way up there.
I wanted to play it again, years later, but found out the servers were shut down, permanently ending multiplayer. I was crushed. Then i realized, Blockland is very well known, and has multiplayer! And so i set off on my quest to create a map from AVP 2 in Blockland, and successfully host a multiplayer server.
so far, it's going slow, but it's going!

PICS
Hallway right next to dropship, leading to garbage pile. Comes with a free useless door!
Garbage pile, couple boxes too.
Working door, and broken door, used to control flow of Xenomorphs. humans only control door, but Xeno can easily hop out of vents.
Exit to dropship, enter to see useless door. (Giant) Vents lead to the door, and outside to the street.
Hallway to the working door, along with a dead end where originally was a shotgun, but due to aliens not weilding a shotgun, was removed.
Ladder into sewer, connecting underneath almost the entire map.
Broken door, along with ladder to outside.
Vents above the hallway between the broken and working doors.
Blast window, also used to restrict Xeno movement. can be opened and closed using the switch. Cannot be used from outside!
The Dropship in all it's glory, where the marines spawn. This is the most time consuming part of the whole map!
Bottom view, along with pretty headlights. Marines spawn inside, at the top of the ramp, way at the back.
Tips & tricks! - Do not camp in the Blast room. it is not a fort, and it has holes in 3 directions, not counting the Blast window.
- Xenos should use vents to get close to marines. dont make that mistake.
- Spray and pray.
- You can press E (or spraycan) to activate while holding your gun. Those few seconds toggling tools add up to quite alot.
- Stay together; Marines can be picked off and pounced on from any direction, make sure there's a gun pointing in that direction, too. Aliens are essentially really fast Instagib. Rush in, slash and bash, and jump out of it.
- Marines use flashlights to spot Xenomorphs. Xenomorphs avoid light to get in close. Not the other way around.
- Xeno: Vents, Vents, Vents. do not avoid the vents. love the vents.
Marine: Dead Space probably taught this to you already, so i wont.
Final Plan for MapThere will be three gamemodes planned for final verson:
- Classic Team Deathmatch
Exactly what it sounds like, Aliens Vs Marines, where the only goal is to shoot the other guys until letters appear that spell "you win"! - Bug Hunt
Both teams have 3 lives each. Last man life-form standing. - Extermination
Multiple locations contain a flag base. Capture a flag to control the immediate area. Control the entire map to win. CTF. Strategy is vital.
FAQQ: What is Aliens Vs. Predator?
A:
http://bit.ly/15uj0Ne Do some research.
Q: How many players can this handle?
A: AVP2 recommends 16 players for this map. so do I.
Q: CAN I PLAY? I WANNA BE AN ALIEN AND RUN AND FIGHT AND PLAY AND-
A: No. no you cannot. You shall not. You can help make the map. but you cannot frolic while i work.
Q: When will this be done?
A: When I finish it.
Q: Is this in space?
A: Technically, you're in space. Earth is in space. But no. It takes place on a planet "affectionately" named "LV-426", and it is a military/research base.
Q: Will this be an RP?
A: No. This map was designed to be Combat intuitive, not a place to raise a family of men pretending to be children and women.
Q: Did you make this yourself?
A: No, as previously stated, this is based off of a multiplayer level from an old game. if you wish to see the original level, the developer of the level put a "tour" on youtube;
