Opinions on my avp online idea....

Quickstriker · 08-28-2003, 08:52 PM

I want your opinions on my idea for an avp online game, which is a MMO kind of game. I'm not done with it and I'm planning on having it sent to demigod. This is what I have so far, its full of typos and stuff.

Alien vs. Predator: Online

Introduction
I decided to write about this idea that has been in my head for quite some time. Inspiration of BF42 and Planetside.

Story
Involves the LV-1201 incident and the Pilots. Years later after the 1201 disaster, the Weyland Corporation decided to no longer study Xenomorphs because they obtained enough info from 1201. They decide to pursue a different goal, one of which to obtain the technology to control them, like the Artifact.

They send probes through the systems that LB-426 and LV-1201 were found. They of course succeed in finding a faint signal resembling the distress signal found on LB-426, but its different. They find a planet and named it LB-X and use the probe to see what the planet contains. Instead of finding a ship they find human sized compounds with mouth watering technology, and some non-surprising inhabitants all over the place which destroys the probe.

Of course this represents an a really good opportunity and they dispatch marines instead of the usual colonies to exterminate the aliens. They send the ship, Crusader completed with an army of marines to make the place more hospitable. Once arrived the marines assault the planet and destroy every hive they could find nearly wiping out the aliens. Of course they end up missing one hive.

At the time a Predator hunting vessel was on the way to the planet also to take the technology and to hunt some aliens, for this planet is favored for hunting and the technology but they had no way to get it until now. They notice the Crusader and recognize it as human, knowing humans they decided that these humans would make excellent trophies and a way to spice up the hunt. So they were going to sneak by and let the humans come to them, but the Marine

I basically skimmed through the ranks, but I think ure brilliant.

Golan IV · 08-28-2003, 09:14 PM

I enjoyed reading your post. It was lengthy, but I think it was worth it.

I'm itching to read what you have coming, as you said you weren't done yet. How could you not be? That was so detailed . . .

Great ideas. Can't wait to read more.

Quickstriker · 08-28-2003, 09:17 PM

Thank you and your welcome.

I Like Beans · 08-28-2003, 09:43 PM

Read the whole thing... it was good

Bum Burster · 08-29-2003, 02:34 PM

Good ideas, but unfortunately, AVP Online would be one of the most boring MMORPG to ever exist, except if it goes beyond AVP and turns into a more devlopped MMORPG, but then simply losing the prior goal of making AVP Online.
Or do you want a Hack and Slash Online like, let's say, World of Warcraft is announced to be ?

Xenomorph gun man · 08-29-2003, 05:02 PM

Add the predtorain, and make the pounce like avp2. Then it would be perfect.
Also the alien is physicly supirior to the predator when it comes to brute force. the aliens could easily penatrate pred armor.

Also throw in some new guns for the humans and preds.

Quickstriker · 08-29-2003, 05:12 PM

Good point, after some thought of the whole point, I realized this would be pretty pointless.

Capturing alien technology wouldn't really do much, I would just turn into planetside.

I think I'll redo the story a bit.

Destroyer666 · 08-31-2003, 03:08 PM

Love the whole idea Quickstriker. I'll buy it when it comes out.

Class I would join: Aliens

Quickstriker · 08-31-2003, 09:34 PM

I wonder, if it would be better if you could go to other worlds? It would go well with marines and preds but aliens can't fly ships.

Maybe aliens could some how get aboard the ships.

One of the worlds is a starter world, humans will start on Earth/Gateway and a colony. Predators will start on a homeworld, and aliens will start on the colony.

Xenomorph gun man · 08-31-2003, 09:49 PM

What about communication? Will this be on Xbox Live, PC, what?

Quickstriker · 09-01-2003, 11:04 AM

Preferably PC. Its a FPS MMORPG.

PFC_Hudson · 09-01-2003, 06:49 PM

I didn't read all of that, but I think I like it.

One thing though: LB-X is very lame, I would suggest changing it.

Kimarhi Ronso · 09-01-2003, 07:50 PM

Read it. Liked it. Insert thumbs up sign.

But isn't it LV-426?(Not trying to be a smartass).

Xenomorph gun man · 09-01-2003, 08:43 PM

Put it on xbox anyway, please.

AmIonFIREcool · 09-01-2003, 11:19 PM

I say computer... but then I'm too poor and wouldn't nuy it anyways!!! :P

Cain Marko · 09-02-2003, 02:55 PM

I read it and liked the ideas a whole lot, I think it would work better as a large scale game 24-32 player instead of a MMOG. It would get repetitive like Planetside and also I think the AvP mythos works better with meduim sized games as the movies are the same way. But I did love the ideas of ranks and upgrades which could work similar to RTCW: Enemy Territory. I REALLY, REALLY wanted to have customizable Pred armor and weapons. Also Marine deployables and more objective based scenarios. Only thing the Predators and Aliens are 1 dimensional in thier goals, Kill.....Either for sport (Preds) or survival (Aliens). I didnt check but you should post this in the AvP3 forum (if its still around). Good post though......

KayaYautja · 09-02-2003, 03:18 PM

Perhaps you could make it to where all species have a hunger guage and must kill on of the NPCs to get food (or marines if ur an alien or predator, or hannibal

).

I liked it (cept the pred cloak, the cloak battery in there is supposed to last for like 5 years, though I can see the balance. Everytime you level up would your cloak time increase?)

Cain Marko · 09-02-2003, 04:07 PM

That could work, but it would have to be where high level Preds dont have to worry about cloaking IMHO.

KayaYautja · 09-02-2003, 06:38 PM

yea, maybe instead of the classic "mana" you could have field energy, when you level up, you can put certain points into it.

Quickstriker · 09-02-2003, 10:34 PM

I had a change in story a bit to make it more RPG like instead of a planetside with movie characters.

There are several unexplored planetary systems and well everybodies job is to explore them, well sorta.

Instead of one planet, dozens of planets to inhabit as alien, predator, or human.

Aliens start out on a human colony, with colonists and a way off the planet, by the use of supply ships. Of course they may want to use the colonists first.

Predators- find some new prey to hunt or hunt old prey.

Humans- You can choose many types of humans, surveyer, colonist, Marine, or Mercinary.

Cr@zy-A()ien · 09-03-2003, 08:56 AM

Cool idea but how much per month???

Xenomorph gun man · 09-03-2003, 08:37 PM

Make the game itself expensive, but don't charge anything after that.
I have my own AVP MMOG in the works...

KayaYautja · 09-04-2003, 03:06 PM

no, making the game expensive is a bad idea, as it wouldn't keep a staff on it to keep hackers and all that out, I wouldnt mind paying to play this game

Xenomorph gun man · 09-10-2003, 07:05 PM

My idea's story has to do with the preds nuking every last trace of the aliens putting them to "extinction" :wink, a final battle between humans and preds, and the end of the world.
