Description
A game of deception. Two randomly choosen players are selected to be an alien and a mutant, and the rest are human.

- 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.

The grenade item isnt necessary since there are plenty of "nuke" abilities now. The sprint ability is also unneccessary since the base move speed for humans has been increased, equipping weapon and armor suits reduce move speed alot less, and the stimpack item can boost move speed. Reloading was more annoying than appealing, so now weapons require no ammo, and no reloading to fire. The anti team killing has only been temporarily removed, in the future I will implement a different way to punish team killers. I didnt like the Warp Armor's teleport ability, it had too much game breaking potential, so I replaced it with the Quantum armor which has different, but better abilities.
Try the game out, you'll find the changes are great. I made them in order to make the game more action-packed, and skill-based.
Here's a list of the abilities for all weapon, and armor suits:
• ASR - Energy Blaster, Energized Rounds
• Cobra - Cobra Strike, overshock
• Dragon - Dragon's Breath, Tri-laser
• Dual Scorpians - Shockwave, Autofire
• HAR - Sniper Mode, Spectre Scope
• Hazmat Rifle - DeGen, Ensnare
• Hunter - Quad-fire
• Ripper - Whirlwind, Evisceration
• Slayer - Barrage, Deflection Shield
• Aegis Armor - Aegis Shield, Lure
• Battle Armor - Particle Accelerator, Speed Booster
• Covert Armor - Cloak, Portable Scanner
• Demolition Armor - Blast Charge, Bomb Defuser
• Iatric Armor - Alleviation Field, Restore
• Quantum Armor - Quantum Shift, Molecular Disruption
• Tech Armor - Barricade, Repair
• Tesla Armor - Charge Shield, Shock Drone

Although i like the fact that weapons require no ammo, reload was amusing to me.
Second thing is, since stimpack is such an important item, it should be replaced by sprint imo which would free one slot in inventory for some other item.
Nades were quite nice, not really because of their usefulness, but i really liked them.

I liked reloading too at first, it made things seem more realistic and intense, but after playing it enough I realized it had more cons than pros to gameplay. Stimpack is not an essential item since humans can move pretty fast without it, and also, stimpack will damage you once the effect wears off. Grenades were nice, but alot of new abilities might fill in that void for you.
Well, once I get warcraft 3 working on my new computer, ill host up some games, or find someone to host for me. Hopefully as the game gets closer to being 100%, some bots will start hosting it.

I tested the game with DrSuperGood, and we were able to find some bugs which I had fixed in this update:
VERSION 0.7.2
- Fixed a bug regarding the optictact helmet returning your sight to normal even when power is off.
- Fixed a bug that prevented spawns from appearing after being fully assimilated.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the revival timer window from disappearing once a player's revival process completed.
- Fixed a bug that often prevented a player's main unit from being recognized, which in turn caused other problems.
- Fixed a serious bug regarding launching space vessels that would occur when the launcher selected his or her main unit.
- Fixed a bug that stopped a player from piloting a space vessel, even after selecting his or her main unit.
- Fixed a bug regarding a main unit's maximum hp when switching out of weapons, and armor suits.
I manage to tackle the most serious bugs, so the game should play fine now. More updates coming soon.

Today we played with friends in your card. We found the following bugs: 1) A man was blown up on the shuttle in space, and then automatically began to resurrect a kriokapsule. 2) After that it became impossible to shoot him, wrote that the goal is too far away, we were able to kill his only skill. 3) When the shuttle launch into space, and then sit down, then get out of the shuttle is not possible. 4) If you use stimpaka many times on another person or parasite, the effect of shape and purpose to die.

I hate the doors. Seriously, you need a good triggerer to make those work correctly. Apart from that, it's a very nice map.

Checked it out solo yesterday. Loved the credit to Viper, very nice to see that. Everything was so fun to play with haha. All the different chat commands, the flashy spells, the terminal uses. Found a couple of glitches here and there that I'll mention in case anyone wants be to aware of them lol.
-When on terminal to control space station I was able to move the station but my camera was fixed on my marine unit and wouldn't unlock until I clicked the hero icon (F1) also ESC was not working to cancel the terminal use.
-As the alien you can go above and beyond parasite limit by laying all eggs and then infecting biosphere animals
-As alien when evolving in chrysalis I evolved into Carapace (Crypt Lord) spec and played around, when changed back to human I noticed I still had the chrysalis option in alien skills. I used it to evolve once again into Symbiote and during training I changed my mind, canceled Symbiote and evolved into the Abomination spec (Or w/e it's called haha) when transformation was complete in my alien skill options I had all the special skills for all 3 aliens and in hero skills I also had all 3 alien skill sets that would rotate after using a skill. (I.E. Using Vendor Trap as Abomination)
-Also discovered that canceling training in chrysalis causes Evolution Points to go above 600. The 600 amount is returned to 0 when training a spec but it builds up like normally, however when you cancel the training the 600 amount is returned and joins with the points gained since it was lost. (I.E. waiting 5 seconds after starting training to cancel gives the alien a total of 605 points) This can be repeated as long as the alien has patience / time to chill and stack up points. Not a big deal I don't think but something to check out.
-Marine shield generator gives immunity to 4 dmg types with a 5 second cool down. Could be a problem seeing as how the shield lasts the entire cool down and can be on indefinitely.
-Aliens automatically attack neutral units like terminals / turrets. Majorly inconvenient to have them patrol. Could be even more annoying in a battle with marines if alien parasites go for terminals instead of human players.
-After the evolving glitch the alien skill menu was filled up with extra skills and some skills became lost like Chrysalis.
-Bartender robot refused to give me booze. Terminal didn't work in human (captain) form so I blew up robot with alien spit bomb.
There were probably a couple more that I'm unable to remember right now but I had a good time running around by myself, Info Menu was very useful in describing locations of important areas. Anyone running games / having get togethers on US East? <3

I noticed a bug while playing para 3 solo
When you power down the radio transmiter station it cuts off the first letter in every transmission just a little thing. I love the setup though of this new parasite map

So? does this mean no more parasite 3? or was that an unmade decision, I hope you finish it it seems even better than parasite 2. A few complaints in the new(ish) version though
Rather than removing reloads completely why not give guns a bigger mag.
The new revival is just dumb i played where you had to carry your buddy back and it worked fine...why change it? it added a nice touch and made it feel more...urgent and real.
Cant we have a planet with a purpose opposed to a biosphere that does hardly anything?

Anyone played it? yeah it sucks, to the question at hand anyone know of a hostbot for this on Us East playing it with just two people kinda fails..."hmmm friend are you craving brains by chance?"

There is a prety high chance your router does allow you to host, if you set it up correctly that is.

ok i played it !
- first bug really annoying, you can use -name and change it whenever you want (my name was captain Tanasren while i wasn't captain) so you must add "marine [playername] for generic marines) ! and -name should be used only one time or during 30 sec
- as said before i could try all evolutions in a row BUT i couldn't go back to human form after the first evolution it always went back to the first alien form so i couldn't use the Changeform thing.
- i played against a grotesque form and i could see him as water sometimes dunno if it's a bug. His tentacles didn't attack me, what are their use ? and he was very weak
-Same for all the others tiers, very weaks and not as funny as in parasite 2 ! The scarab couldn't die because he regens much faster than he loses health (1vs1) his offensive spells are very weak ! the spikeball is hard to hit with and 15dmg/sec on a marine with 500 hp, it did 8 dmg and he regened very fast. The spider web should do damages and i do'nt know but i guess marines couldn't kill it with auto attack only spells
-it's hard to switch between the spellbook xD
-why when you click your hero you lose the control of the station, it was better in parasite 2, more convenient to avoid being killed while controlling or bombed.
-the parasite lose oxygen and doesn't die it's ok but the marines don't lose oxygen and never die from this (i'm not sure for this one)
- i killed the egg sustainers but it never hatched
-the thermal shield is imba 5sec and 10 or 15 sec cooldown o_0
- why not giving bombs like in parasite 2 ? that was one great part of the fun !
if you want to see how it was hard for me to kill beginners with my alien i can send a replay but it's long

I do not think that is a bug. There is nothing stopping you calling your friend a captain in real life even if he is not a captain. Unless you are hinting that it automatically appended captain to your name when you were not one (which would be a bug). If any thing this could be considered a feature (allows you to confuse with name).
A lot of this sounds like your team has problems playing. If the alien can not be 1v1ed, then get some allies to help you. Also try different weapons as some of them can hurt the alien quite hard.
They were cheap play tactics. You could just grab 4 and bomb trap a whole area so that excape was impossible due to their large AoE. To compensate for this there are a lot of explosive abilities now which deal reasonable AoE and start fires.

Except that there should be a message at game start saying who's the captain so you know who is the real one.
The confusion may come if you forget it though.
Nah, there was an item, Thermal shield - protects you from all thermal abilities and explosions, you just get knockbacked.

wow dr super good u know ur speaking to a parasite pro ? xD ok it seems funny but it's true
and i said the alien (when I was alien or others noobs) was very weak at tier 1 or 2. I mean he could survive but he couldn't kill as he should and as he did (in parasite 2 humans were in danger each time they met a parasite, now it's not)
i don't even want to answer to what u said, it's totally ridiculous
and where is the defuser ? well i'll keep hosting para2 soz if i annoy u with that cronos xD

That heat shield item was stupidly rigged. If I recall it made you immune to all abilities including parasite. I generally played versions with it removed purly because everyone grabbed atleast 1 stack (including alien) so suits like the flame suit or gamma suit were totally ineffecitve.
Remember you can lay eggs to make backup units to help you kill players. Additionally you can parasitize players while in human form to get better chances of them becomming aliens when they die. Also once you have your first spawn, you have literally 2 aliens, buffing alien too much could mean that if anyone gets spawned its as good as gg.
I do agree that in a full house of competent players it becomes incredably tough as alien. An idea occured to me that with higher player numbers, the alien receives an inital buff to its stats. The buff degrades over time till stats reach normal levels. This would allow you to get 1 or 2 spawns in high player games while not making you unkillable.
Another tricky ballence point is the need for a power topple. Basically once an alien gets a certain number of spawns, it should prety much cascade that the allien will win unless some game changing backup stratergy is used (used to be selfdestruct in P2). If an inital buff stratergy is used like I sujested above, it would also give the humans a period of time which they can kill aliens (where the ballence comes in). If the humans take too long or allow too many spawns, then they would lose. This breaks it up into a human survival early game, an alien hunt bid game then another human survival end game (where the alien will likly start to win due to evolved stats).
Like its meant to be. Having alien as stupidly strong unit ruins any need for skill to play the alien. In parasite 2 you basically bombed a few populated areas and then alien killed anyone who was alone, got some spawns and advanced from there. Now you actually need to remain hidden among the crowds unless you want a short game.

The biggest factor here is just team cooperation. Whatever is implemented to even things out, nothing can prevent a team of players with experience from ganging and ruling a game. Assuming that all players play strategically with each other and trying to prevent it by buffing alien would ruin any game where players want to solo. If an alien is put into a situation where clannies hang together and move in groups then it's no one's fault. There is really no way to fix or balance this. At that point it's time for the RTS player to start thinking and being strategical rather then going in guns blazing. You can't make up for a player not using all options possible and thinking and you can't penalize them for doing so.
If humans work in groups, good for them. They deserve the power of numbers, not to have the alien buffed just because they're good with teamwork. If the alien can't survive without a handicap then there's something wrong with the player, not the game. Work it out and find ways to sabotage the station, turn off the power, or make the humans suffocate. Groups of humans can't be everywhere at once.
The alien does not have to rely on alien strength to win the game. You also have a human form. You can mix in with groups of humans and find weaknesses / black sheep in the pack who like to stray and pick them off, or use suit abilities / items to make the group confused and break up the teamwork.
The problem here is player skill, it's not the game's fault that the humans can't kill the alien or the alien can't kill the humans. It's not a matter of balancing, it's a matter of learning ways to kill things besides a head on assault as a tier 1...

Ended up being awful lol. Was an old version with lots of junk that wouldn't work and weirdness haha. No one was the para? Or maybe the para was just stuck in Hydra form since evo points weren't in the version...
We ran around station doing random things then me and red blew ourselves up with nades lol.

Hi! This map is good but when the parasite kill a human it become a cocoon but if the cocoon hatch no spawn came out! And this happen every time!:S What can i do?
