A Short Story:

You and your team plunge down a small, narrow tunnel. You land on a hard surface, and damn is it cold. Moments later, Carl falls on top of you, nearly cracking your foot off your leg. "Carl!", you yell, but he's already dead. You push his limp body with difficulty. "Hey Rick!". You look around, blinking for a moment, noticing six of your other friends have fallen too. "Rick!" You look up, "Max! mind helping me up?" you say. He offers a hand and pulls you up. Your vision begins to clear up as you realize that you and your excavation team may not be the only ones here. "It's some kind of ancient structure", Max says. You reply, "If it's ancient, then why the hell is it lit up?" Bill, the trainee doctor, walks off behind a wall to take a piss.

You hear a couple sudden breaths, as if someone's running right towards you. Bill lets out a sharp scream. You run over and find a gaping hole right where Bill's stomach used to be.

"What the fu-!"

This time Max wails as a small glowing ball grapples onto his bare forehead. A high pitched noise suddenly grows higher. You dive just in time to feel a shockwave break through your body. You get up, grab a pistol, and run towards the nearest building. You're out of breath. Your whole body shivers from the cold and fear. You think minutes have passed, but time cannot be measured in this place.

More quick breaths. Something runs past the dark doorway. You raise your pistol and hear a scream, but this time it's yours.

Description:

Why hello, Forgehub. I'm here to bring another predator map, but this time it's actually quite good, if I say so myself. So basically, I tried to reimagine the pyramid structure in the movie AvP. While I did "steal" some ideas from the movie, I also made my own structures too. The map is hard to explain just with words, so I'll do so later with the pictures.

How The Gametype Works:

Everyone has one life. Believe me, it's not as bad as it sounds. It just emphasizes the fact that you want to survive! Not die. Plus, watching the predator play isn't that bad if you ask me.

Okay, so there's one predator that has good invisibility, enhanced radar, an energy sword, has sprint, and can jump 200% the normal height.

Here's the twist: The predator can choose between two classes: One lets them use 1 sticky grenade (pretty fun to mess around with people), the other lets them use a spartan laser (for those who have trouble being the predator/or just prefer a laser).

The humans, on the other hand, are completely visible, have no radar, are poor jumpers, have normal speed, and have shotguns and pistols.

The predator's goal is to take out the ENTIRE team either one by one or (by some miracle) all at once. Good luck, the level of difficulty depends on the party size.

Tips:

So you want to figure it out by yourself? Then don't click the spoilers:

Predator:

-Take your time! Running in with guns blazing (well, swords actually) is possibly the stupidest thing you can do in this gametype.
-Save your plasma grenade for those who prefer *camping over exploring

*When I say camping, I mean those who TRY to camp. It's pretty difficult to camp with this map.

Humans:

-Don't be afraid to use ammo. Nine times out of ten you will fire a millisecond too late because the predator is FAST and can jump HIGH.
-Stay in a GROUP. This is a huge issue because you're almost guaranteed to die if you run off on your own.

So there you go. If you didn't bother to read anything and you've never played predator, then you're probably not going to have fun. Just sayin' :P
