Aliens vs Marines Gamemode?

[Turret_Cube]

I wonder what a Aliens vs Marines gamemode would be like in BM?

A while back I saw this video of a extra bonus mission for Decay:

As you can see you can play as a Vortigaunt. I thought this was amazing so that got me thinking, what it BM had a gamemode where aliens had to fight marines?

You could play as different types of aliens (Vortigaunt, Alien Grunts and Houndeyes)

That would be sooo cool!

But it’s not going to happen, because letting players be aliens would probably require reworking a whole new version of the alien abilities just for the players, for balancing purposes and to make them more fun. They’d have to make viewmodels for the various alien hands. Crowbar Collective are already very busy, so the only way you’d see this happen would be if some third-party modders created the game mode themselves.

Until then, we’ll just have to stick to Natural Selection.

Everyone will want to be the gargantua.

Could do a headcrab hunt mode in a dark map with nooks and crannies. May or may not allow zombification. Humans get eliminated, Headcrabs get a timer. Humans turn into headcrabs when they die, like Zombie Panic or infestation (AvP)

The only aliens with hand models will be the Vortigaunts, Controller, Gargantua and Zombies. In fact if you look in BM’s files you can find a weapon called “zombiemelee”

OMFG! It would be amazing if you could get special vents for headcrabs and you can hear the headcrabs above you in the vents =O I would be scared shitless.
