MULTIPLAYER BETA

You've probably seen my cooperative effort, TrenchWars 1918. Well I'm back, with my own map franchise, District 9. This is a Forge-Hub exclusive multiplayer beta, and you will be the first to play and give feedback on this new "Micro-Game" experience.

I am calling District 9 a micro game, because it is the unofficial game of the movie. It will feature map packs, campaign missions, new gametypes, and a ton of gameplay. Clear up that hard drive. Oh, and before you read the post, look at the video below.

Ok, so now that you have a feel for what District 9 is all about, I'll talk a bit about the map you will be playing on, and how to participate in the beta.

The map posted here is simply the beta map. This is a fairly simple map, that will NOT be included in the final and actual game. After you play this, please comment and tell me what you liked, and what you didn't, plus things that need to be fixed. The final product will have many more features, but features in this beta are:

A choice between "Prawns" and "MNU" teams.
D9 Slayer Game-Mode
Playable Exosuit
MNU and Prawn armories
Weapon pickup meter

All that will be explained later, but for now, enjoy the map post! -1Z4N0 SL4Y3R

Here is an overview of the map. Lots of firefights occur on this map, many of which can be very epic.

Main overview of map

As you can see, the forging in this beta is not extremely neat, but there are two reasons as to why:

1. This is simply a beta.

2. District 9 is a very poor area, and I felt that too much interlocking would ruin that. There is quite a bit of interlocking, however.

When you spawn, you will become either MNU or the Prawns. Both of these teams have different traits and weaponry, and even vehicles!

MNU

MNU soldiers get more human-like traits than the prawns, and they spawn in an armory with Sniper rifles, 2 rockets, SMGs and shotguns, among other human-like weapons. They move a slightly slower than the prawns, and don't jump as high. They have slightly more damage resistance, due to balance issues. They can also drive vehicles, and have 2 warthogs at their disposal that never respawn.

Prawns

The Prawns have a more different twist on gameplay. They can run slightly faster, and jump noticeably higher than MNU agents. They are a bit weaker damage resistance-wise, but it is fairly unnoticeable. They have alien weapons like sentinel beams, plasma rifles, start weapon needlers, spikers, and fuel rods, among others. They can only hijack vehicles, not drive them, but they have something better...

The Exosuit

The exosuit is not overpowering. Powerful, but not overpowering. In the Prawn armory, there is a custom power-up that spawns every two minutes. This power-up lasts for 90 secs, and grants the user some tough shields.

Normal Shields
50% recharge speed
High damage resistance
Low speed and moderate jump.
200% damage output.

This is what can really throw some interesting stuff into the game. You may ask if this is overpowered, but that's what I need you for! To test if it is!

NOTES

For 10 seconds, your shields will blink, telling you that you can pick up weapons at that time. When they stop blinking weapon pickup is disabled.

Tell me if there is anything I missed, and please test!

Here is a pic of the Prawn armory, MNU armory pic up soon!
