Looks Awesome, got a 'silent hill' vibe to it!


Will be testing this!

cheers olde.

Yeah, it's a classic PvP map. Though the minigunner does quite well in it against aliens and other types of marines, and overall noobish preds.

We should do an LMS of the map with as many marines as minigunners as possible. It basically starts to function as Quarantine (AvP2 map) with marines camping in a spot that's nearly impossible to kill them before they shred the alien(s). Lol.

Minigunners can use most of the space to their advantage, particularly the catwalk in the main room, the office hallway, the truck tunnel, the ground floor of the main room, and to a lesser extent the room on the lower level with the two healthkits, as well as the room with the staircase and the orb leading away from the truck. The worst place for the minigunner is that extremely dark room with the flashing blue light.

digital-ASMODEUS showed me that jump-from-the-catwalk-into-the-window trick. It takes a lot of practice to be able to pull off but it makes preds really hard to hit if they do it right. You have to strafe-run into it, have a running start, and jump at the absolute last second. As with Hive, Meat Factory is a dismal map for bugs; the rooms don't give them enough space to move around and they're constantly get funneled through tight spaces to move from one area to another. Plus, the only spawn points for them are up in the vents so they always have to drop down (just like in Hadley's Hope and Leadworks). Preds have too much of an advantage I'd say, since there are three orbs. If I could instigate any changes, I'd probably remove the orb on top of the truck, since it's the easiest to get and it's in a prime location. PvPs in pred-favoured maps are a complete pain in the ass for me because they never fucking end. I think I did a PvP in that map a while back and after 15 minutes the score was only 300-150 (essentially 2-1).

Yes, I've played with MAK rules before. It was something that Taco778 showed me.

As for the seeing through walls glitch, I've never heard of that before. The only thin walls glitch I know of is that aliens can clip through certain walls if they crouch-jump directly at them, if the walls are thin enough, and if there's a room on the other side. A funny side effect of this is that it not only allows you to skip to certain places in the map, but you can actually access otherwise inaccessible areas. One such example is the empty room in Meat Factory.
