Actually it was there the first time.

If only there was something the rebels could pick up and use as a mobile cover point. That might help make the room work with the SMG troops that won't be there.

Hehe, I was wondering if anybody would notice.

Oh. Oh AndY, I am so sorry. Brad. shame on you for stealing AndY's antlion girlfriend! I think her dad might have to step in, got an Antlion gaurd anywhere? Would be a good boss ability/boss fight for the GM.

I'm hoping that at least _one_ of the Nova Prospekt maps in the contest will have them. *crosses fingers*

I would recommend taking a close look at some of the earlier screenshots. You might see something interesting there

Indeed, I've advanced to the point where I'm testing it out with close friends.

[braddollar]

So, as stated I've gotten to the point where I'm testing the map with players. At this point most things are pretty set, with just a couple of potential changes depending on how testing goes. So here's some detailed info about the map:

The map takes place in some underground labs. The Overwatch was experimenting down here with some alien / bug crap and stuff went wrong. One of the lab workers was infected and (to fit with what I was currently able to do with the limitations of not being able use certain NPCs) transformed. The lab worker now needs help curing himself so that he can escape.

This sort of story for the map fits into a larger 3 part story that could be made into a 3 map campaign. The rough outline of the story would be that the Rebels receive a message from the lab worker, and must fight their way through the city to get to the lab (Map 1). Then they have to help the lab worker (ow_labs, Map 2). Then they have to take the lab worker and escape on the surface (Map 3).

Objectives list:
Find the lab worker - The lab worker is in one of three labs (Areas labeled with Objective 1)
Speak with the lab worker
Find the crate - The crate spawns randomly in one of 10 rooms (Area labeled Objective 2)
Return the crate to the lab worker
Take the crate to be downloaded - (Area labeled Objective 3)
Wait for the crate to be downloaded
Retrieve the lab worker and escort him to the elevator - This objective is not currently implemented. At this time I'm unsure of whether or not the map will feel too long. Further testing with groups of people will determine if I enable this objective or not.
Take the crate and escape - This is taking the crate and returning to the spawn elevator (Labeled Start). Once a player and the crate enter the elevator the door will close and Rebels win.



The screenshots below are in the order in which they should normally be encountered.
