Other Stuff:

*You and your Team must survive lots of Waves with ever growing amounts of enemys. They get stronger and more with each Wave. This map can be played by a maximum of 11 Players, i would not play this alone because its overhwelming. If you play alone or there are still slots open you can set the slots to Computer. This only works if you are Player 1 Red. If you are the Computers will select a random Hero and try to stay always in range of your Hero, they will cast most of their spells and support you. But also the Difficulty will be increases with each Player even with Computers the Difficutly will be increased.

*There a some Custom Alien Models in the Map (thanks to the creators of them i don't know the names because i took the models form other maps). Also there are multiple custom sounds extracted and optimized from the game "Aliens vs Predator 2" to get an better atmosphere. The map is also very dark and foggy. Its splitted into 2 Regions. Region 1 is the outland with Water,Trees and infected Ground. Region 2 is the inside Base with Rooms, Water Pipes and an Water Depot. You must look for yourself which is the best place to defend yourself.

*If you play this map with all players, there will be very many action and things going on on the screen. If you find laags, bugs or balance issues post them her please and explain them or say what to balance.

Good map! I say a 3/5 rating. You need to change that "Spieler 12" to "Aliens" or something. And try to organize the description a little. :)

Later Edit: I found a bug. After Wave 2 nothing happened.

I edited the description as you sayed and added some screenshots.

For the bug , can you explain wath happened exactly? how much aliens were left in "enemy number" in the multiboard? this happened once for me too after wave 10 , and i don't know why , it seems like there is 1 alien left which is invisible for some reason but you can hear its screams when it attacks but you can't see it :/.

No, i mean just write the description in a comment box, so you can use colors and such things and then copy and paste the text into the map description.

I think you should just cut down on the text to a summary. Although i did have
fun reading it all =D
Maybe you could add a summary, and then a big chunk of text for ppl who are
keen to learn more. Would have rather spent the time playing the game (Cant
now though)

I think that the game is quite complicated, probably you should reduce the
number of classes

Also, import icons for the items.

Likes: The Facehuggers ^^/ The Carrier
Dislikes: Too many nades? If full house won't the game be exploding nonstop?

Sry, i tought the bug (when 1 enemy is left and invisible and shown in multiboard) caused the game to stop by random waves was gone, but it isn't. After a few more tests it already exists. But i can say im Already on it to fixx this damn thing and you can play then with no problems. I'll update soon. And one Question: How to hide those screens or text? Which command to add to hide this? Tell me how does it look? is it like [hide] or something?
