Aliens Hordes v1.48.

Control a squad of up to 6 Marines and survive as long as possible. Use items and abilities to aid you. Look in the Quest menu for information on all Items and Aliens. If all of your Marines die, simply type -reset to get another squad.

6 Aliens:
Runner - Easy to kill, but is quick and deadly in groups.
Spirit - Invisible, but weak ranged alien.
Spitter - Spits acid at its enemies from a distance. Has a lot of health, making it hard to kill.
Assassin - He has very little health, but is invisible and deals huge damage.
Seer - A huge flyer that allows the other aliens to see your invisible units.
Tanker - Giant behemoth dealing massive damage. Lots of health making it a challenge to kill. Avoid if possible.

5 Items:
Infrared Headset - Allows the Marine carrying the Headset to see invisible units.
Power Rifle Attachment - Increases damage that the Marine deals.
Energy Drink - Replenishes all of the Marines energy when used.
Camera Post - Placed in the ground to reveal a large area. Also detects invisible units.
Mine - Placed on the ground and then detonates when an enemy comes near, killing almost any alien.

4 Abilities:
Grenade - Deals massive damage to all units in AoE. (Even allies)
Tranquilizer Dart - Stuns the target temporarily.
Med Kit - Completely heals the Marine who uses it.
Energy Transfer - The Marine takes energy from a friendly unit or an Energy Pillar to use as his own.

Well, i was hoping for it to be well, something more. The terrain was pretty bland, just an open plain. Its kind of monotonous, is there boss fights? If there arent there should be. Also you should mix it up a bit with different classes rather than just one marine class. It was ok but i personally didnt like it. It has a lot of potential so if you improve terain and vary things more it could be much better. I give it a 3 because it has potential.

Thank you for the critique/help/suggestions.

Boss fights - added.
Multi-Classes - considered, but not added.
Custom Models - not added. Mainly to keep file size down. After all, this is a mini-game.

I also need help fixing the memory leaks. If someone can take a look at the triggers and try to fix them a bit, it would be very helpful.

Well, despite it's leaks and lacks, I for one find this map rather enoyable to kill time with :D
Especially if you bring a friend or two...
I'm not saying it will be the TIME OF YOUR LIFE, but it's quick to get in to, and rather fun in the right circumstances. :)

bounty hunter2's Review on Alien Hordes

Alien Hordes is an survival type map, where you must survive against the onslaughts of enemy monsters.

The terrain of the map is bad, empty, repetitive, lacking more dodoad varying, aswell as more textures, and something different then just stones, such as a base perhaps.

The game lacks heroes, units only make it less challenging and interesting to play.

The game can tends to lag after some time of playing it, since the creeps mass to a huge amount.

You lack more different abilities and classes for the units, and the game really isn't challenging since you can reset everything when all of your units die.

The map isn't much, really, don't expect anything great. Yet I am sure the map will surprise you and prove to be fun, in a strange yet good way. Approved with a 2/5 (Lacking) rating.
