Copyright is all about the theft of "content" without the proper authority and all that crap. If they had called it Alien Vs. Predator: (Crappy SubTitle Here) then they would have been sued. Same as if they had used footage from AvP.
However this is a budget, knock-off movie and while the stories may be similar it will be all original footage shot by a different production company and blah blah blah.
If it was illegal to use "similar" plotlines in movies and games then there would only be something like 50 games and movies in the world. Things like spoofs and most porno movies would be non-existant and that my friend would be a very sad world indeed.

I just gave this map a try and it's not bad, not at all.
I think my youngest brother will enjoy this map, as it's small and to the point, immediate action. I do think hlife_hotdog has a good point about spawning in the basement: it does give the CT's somewhat of a disadvantage, but since they also spawn top-side now and then, it's probably not a big issue. Adds some variety.
Visually, the map was pretty good. Atmospheric, but not too dark. I do think some finer brushwork and texturing (alignment on the well, tall building using bump-mapped and unbump-mapped version of a texture) here and there would be good. However, it's just a small layer of extra polish that lacks here, and all in all, it's a pretty nice map. Good job.

I agree with Skals, not to be mean, but a WIP pic would be awesome, or at least give us background on the storyline of the campaign, and good luck with it!

Amazing work for 5 hours. I doubt i could create a map this size in such a short amount of time!
Your inside areas are nicely detailed and lit, and have some nice architecture (though a little blocky in some parts) and doodad ideas. The func_tank was awesome! (did you make that too?)
I like the whole layout and size of the map, and that was probably the most impressive part of the map to me. Not to complex, not too simple; not to big, not too small.
Dislikes: While there is some nice detail in the map, the main "arena" part is mono textured walls and plain. The torches are oddly placed and might be better as pieces of burning, exploded bits of truck or something.
FY maps are supposed to have weapons scattered around but there are none to be found.
All in all an impressive work for only 5 hours, but not really a complete map imo, so i'm not rating. Still, some pretty cool stuff and i hope to see more maps from you.
p.s. - ur right about the downloads here... you won't get a lot at this site .

How old is trapt?
In fact, it looks very good.
Looks way better than the usual ugly-as-shit stuff too. Looking forward to this. ;>
Sounds disturbing. Take pics.
Happy Birthday man.
Thanks everyone.

Next year give me a call and I'll turn you into a man.
If going out with 2 girls and having a good time is gay, then I'm flaming.
Sounds gay
I got a watch, some jeans, and a T-shirt. That's all I wanted.
Congrats! What did you get, what are you doing etc?
Man , the map is so complicated at this point that I have to make tests on mechanisms in another map !
