Map review:

OPP1 was the first map for the Open Pyramid Project, a series of maps based on the original AvP movie. While there were other maps based on the AvP movie, none of them kept this OPP naming system. Like the AvP Movie, this map features the underground stone ruins with aliens running amok. The player controls the predator and starts with just the wristblades. There is a short period of time for the player to start gathering weapons before the aliens attack the player. Weapon selection is limited to non-tracking weapons (unless there are other weapons that are very hidden that I didn't spot) and the number of aliens attacking is high. This is a skirmish map and the aliens will continuously attack the player.

Due to the predator taking a long time to heal between waves of alien attacks, the difficulty for this map is very high. The map's doors, as in the movie, periodically open and close every few minutes. The player can manage to survive a bit longer if the aliens find themselves stuck behind a door as the player navigates the ruins. Difficulty is still tough though. It should be noted that the map features custom electrovision skins for the aliens (not shown as I didn't use the vision modes). I found these skins to make the map more difficult to play, as the aliens appear as a dark green against a dark green background for the vision mode. They blend too well to easily spot enemies.

Aside from the vision mode, this is a fun but tough map. Fans of the Under the Hunter's Moon campaign should give this map a shot as it has a similar experience.

Note: I'm using some HD textures via Yaji's High Quality Resolution Textures v2 and my Blood n' Guts mod for the gore.
