Description
A game of deception. Two randomly choosen players are selected to be an alien and a mutant, and the rest are human. Humans work together to figure out who among them is non-human and destroy them while the Alien and Mutant deceive the humans and kill them! The Mutant and Alien are not allies and must destroy each other as well.
Feature Highlights
- Alien and Mutant elements are able to disguise themselves as humans, creating an atmosphere of paranoia and mistrust.
- New Mutant player introduced to the series: a lone hunter that kills and absorbs players to acquire more power.
- Custom Chat system that allows players to communicate strickly to other nearby players only or to all players. Also features that allow you to disable long range chatting!
- Intricate use of various different items and weapons that offers a wide array of customization.
- Triggered projectile system requiring players to "point click" to use their weapons, adding a greater skill curb.
- Epic space ship combat with triggered movement and projectiles in a similar fashion as the projectile system implemented.
- Interactive environment; access a wide range of different terminals and other things to change the flow of the game.
- Money system; money is acquired periodically and is used to purchase more powerful items. Money can be stolen from other players.
- If you die, you can participate in a death match mini-game with other dead players or choose to watch the game.
- Game automatically remakes after it ends!
- Dead players are able to revive!

The vote idea sounds good. With that there will be a 30-45 second delay before the parasite is selected amongst those who voted yes. Of coarse, its done in secret, so no one but you knows if you selected yes, or no.
I took a vacation, but I am back at it. I wont know when the next version will be finished though. I am working on adding more stuff, changing unit stats up abit, and then I am going to try to implement space, and ship piloting before next release.

The parasite already modifies the DNA's host, so he's pretty much a mutant.
Besides, if you want two opposite organisms to combat, go play Metastasis yourself, and be pro enough to not die for TKs. (Which really only comes with practice.)
HOWEVER, another NEUTRAL organism sure could be nice. How was its name back then on Parasite 2? Omega? Perhaps they could even play a bigger role in Parasite 3.

How about you get infected with the Omega just like a normal parasite, and your blood test then reads omega blah blah blah. BUTTTTTT theres a timer of how long you can stay in Omega form for so much time or then alien can instantly spawn you. Maybe like 2 out of 5 minutes. -Braces for the explosion of comments on how stupid he is-.

Well I am making changes to the AI that might fit the roll of a third party. Instead of being an ally to humans, it can deliberately terminate them without punishment, making it a potential threat. Its goal however remains the same (destroy the parasite), but that might change though. The AI could also have no goals, and just cause destruction or whatever as it sees fit, making it a total wildcard; I haven't decided what I am going to do yet.

That's kinda weird... i like the feature of AI being hidden as a human like in Metastasis. But he should have more than Meta shit features.
Btw to the other guy sure Parasite = Mutant but we could have like Alien one also... In Metastasis the fun of the game was that humans didn't only watch for 1 threat but 2 and that made the map fun. Well anyways invent somenthing new and not update somenthing old like AI.

If you want to add everything about Metastasis on this map, wouldn't it better to just play Metastasis? You're always comparing Metastasis to this map...
They're two different maps, with their unique features. If you prefer Metastasis, then play it.
Anyway...
Although a rather "free" AI certainly sounds fun, the AI must have some kind of objective. Even if is something liberal...
Though I can't think on a "liberal" objective for the AI, besides executing threats, meaning his mission would be to take down Parasite and TKers. The only way that it would really be effective would be to change the victory conditions, and that anyone that actually KILLS someone (killing the wounded corpse) would "turn" evil and completely on its own. His objective turns instead to kill everything on that station, as well as the humans and the AI must kill him besides the Parasite. Meaning the game could continue after the Parasite is killed.
Could be a really interesting kind of gameplay. Although it would be REALLY chaotic if a bunch of TKers (or in roleplaying terms, psycopaths) enter a Parasite 3 room (are sent together to a lone station.)
So chaotic that it turns out funny. Hehe.

I hate a lot in Metastasis so shut it. The great pro of it is 2 killer organisms and much better space and that's it. Well anyways if DarkShoGun wont do it ill do it my way
.And your suggestion abount killer AI is just TKing... but if AI does get a bit of Parasite similar evolutions then it could be fun. Like robo parasites but working ones not like in para 2 ones that never happend and also if we want killer AI he should be in human form so he does sneak kill and not "OH MY FUCKING GOD IT'S AI !!!! aaaaa we dead !!!".

There can be a vote for AI at start too. People can maybe vote wheter AI will help humans or it will have it's own objective.

Hmm... that could work but it would be better as hidden guy... and it would be great if he would get evolution points for eating bodies for example. But not be able to infect since hes partly mechanical. So hes kinda like in Metastasis as a perfection mutant.

This isnt metastasis, so no.
An AI doesnt need direct objectives to be fun, the point of a wildcard is it has the freedom to influence the game however it wishes. The original story revolving around the AI in parasite 3 was that it was built by an ancient race that was wiped out by the parasites in order to destroy any parasite threat in the future, if ever it was awakened. So its goal of destroying the para might remain, but I am liking the idea of a total wildcard AI, I think it would make the map more interesting.

Well actualy Cronos has proven he actually is DSG, if you want you can check on infestationforums, the old forums of the Parasite project...
Of course I'm still a bit suspicious about cronos, but hey, he got a proof, and moderators like ap0calypse believe him too, so you shouldn't really worry kiloneie.

I didnt do any map copying kilonie, all 3 parasite maps were made by me, with paras 2 and 3 given a little assistance. You might be referring to a Final Fantasy IV map that I posted way back in the day that was made by bestial. I posted it to show proof that the maker of Final Fantasy Forever edited over that map without giving credit, but the moderator that rejected it assumed i was taking the credit for it.

I wouldn't think so either, and I thought the map was removed for other reasons, but that is what was said. Anyways, it doesn't matter, that final fantasy map isnt even played anymore.

The spawns werent exactly removed, just now instead of becoming a spawn they become a new "Cerebrasite" just like the original that assimilated them. I wanted to see how it plays out, I thought it would be kind of cool to be able to evolve on your own as a spawn. There were other reasons for it too, but its hard to explain. If there's any problems with it I can always bring it back to how it originally was, or just further weaken the cerebrasites.
I removed ammo because it was very inconvenient for humans to have to carry it around. It sort of weakened strategic variety because it took up an inventory space that could be used for something else. Guns still require reloading when they are dry, just no longer require an ammo item to do so.
Anyways, I encountered some bugs and balance issues while playing the game, so ill be updating it again soon.

What's wrong with that? Para 2 was good; making a good game is not about using all new stuff, it's better to take good ones from before too.

Wow... I really liked those changes. I look forward to play this once more. You still host your own games, right? I do have, however, some few questions about Cerebrasite. First, does the amount of the Cerebrasites alter something within the Cerebrate? (Like, as always, having more spawns/Cerebrasites allows for more evolution points and so it goes.) Second, does having more Cerebrasites alter the ammount of evolution points the spawn gets for himself? Third, what exactly happens when a human is assimilated? Does it transforms into a weaker version of the Cerebrate with 0 evolution points, becomes the current (but weaker still) version of the Cerebrate with 0 evolution points, becomes the current (weaker) version with the Cerebrate as much as points as him have, or even start as default Cerebrasite but with all the points Cerebrate ever had? (Even if he used them to evolve.) Again, I liked this idea very much. It is innovative and even realistic! (Natural selection, anyone? Just the MAIN [propably the only] reason that anything evolves. Although compared to normal evolution, parasites, aliens, mutants and the like evolve at a astound rate... But that's the whole thing about it, is it not? XD)

Cerebrasite is the same as cerebrate, I changed the name by combining cerebrate with parasite.
"First, does the amount of the Cerebrasites alter something within the Cerebrate? (Like, as always, having more spawns/Cerebrasites allows for more evolution points and so it goes.)"
The amount of evolution points gained periodically stays constant for all cerebrasites, including the original, and there are no other special bonuses other than an additional helper. This might change later though. I was thinking of making the spore mass give all cerebrasites twice as much evo point gain when it is active. Also, I might add a parasite population cap increase for every new cerebrasite spawned (and this applies to all cerebrasites since they all use a shared population cap for spawning parasites).
"Second, does having more Cerebrasites alter the ammount of evolution points the spawn gets for himself?"
No, the amount of evolution points gained by all cerebrasites is always the same, for now.
"Third, what exactly happens when a human is assimilated? Does it transforms into a weaker version of the Cerebrate with 0 evolution points, becomes the current (but weaker still) version of the Cerebrate with 0 evolution points, becomes the current (weaker) version with the Cerebrate as much as points as him have, or even start as default Cerebrasite but with all the points Cerebrate ever had? (Even if he used them to evolve.)"
The human becomes an exact copy of the original cerebrasite at tier 1 (even if the cerebrasite that spawned it is at a higher tier) with 0 evolution points. It has the same stats, and abilities like the tier 1 cerebrasite, and can even evolve. In other words all cerebrasites are the same. Only one cerebrasite will be able to access tier 3 (once its been implemented), and even if it dies, no other cerebrasite will be able to access the final forms again.
Just keep in mind that nothing is set in stone, anything is subject to change. If it doesnt work out I can just return spawned cerebrasites into weaker versions of the original one.

I kinda disagree with the idea that spawns are, in start, same as cerebrate and can evolve etc.
I mean, cerebrate is the main alien and spawns should be "slaves". If spawns become same as cerebrate...then it's not unique being a cerebrate anymore, kinda ruins it.
Also this might increase the number of self infectors.
