Description:
Quote:
Your loyalty to to your foolhardy clan mate has ended in disaster.
Having lost his own Energy Sift device, he has borrowed yours for his rite of passage Blood Hunt quest. Unfortunately, his failure to return bodes unfavourably for your Clan as Your Energy Sift that he was carrying is a valuable clan asset that cannot be easily replaced. As such, your clan council has decreed that you are responsible for your own equipment and have advised you that "You gave it to him, you can go and get it." and it must be retrieved from the Temple of the Worm, the last known location of your missing clan mate.
This is not a personal trial of manhood for you to be performed alone. The Temple of the Worm has a reputation for being an extremely hazardous hunting ground and the clan Council has decided that you are to be accompanied by two experienced Yautja 'Brothers of the Spear' warrior clan members to assist you in the task.
Your mission is simple: Enter the Temple of the Worm, determine the fate of your missing clan mate and collect the lost Energy Sift. Then return to the extraction point with your escorts for immediate collection from the site to the Yautja pursuit ship hovering overhead...

Gameplay:
---------
'Temple of the Worm' is designed for Predator Single Player experience only. It features Predator Non-Player Characters that I like to call 'The Brothers of the Spear' who will follow and assist you in completing the map. To command the NPC's to follow you, select them in the same manner that you would operate a switch or open a door. They will then follow you around and attack any Aliens on sight. Selecting them a second time will command them to stop, stand their ground and defend that location. The NPC's will only follow the Player to Objective relevant locations, so if you stray from the path, they'll know that you are being a dumb-arse and will not follow.
While not perfect, the NPC AI is capable of displaying some interesting behaviour, and you'll witness them fighting Aliens with varying degrees of effectiveness. They will use weapons in appropriate situations and the NPC weapons selection includes: CombiStick, Netgun, PlasmaCaster and Disc (Although, the use of the Disc is rare.). They will follow the Player and attempt to jump to (some, not all) locations. The NPC's are lethal with Combisticks and will disembowel the Player if you get caught in their swing. Likewise, the Player can also get trapped in Nets fired by the NPC's if you get in their way; so just cut yourself free.
Unfortunately, NPC's cannot use Combisticks to kill Aliens that have been trapped in Nets. They will attempt to, but will be unsuccessful until the Alien breaks free. There are other minor bugs present with the AI as well. Hey, AvP2 AI aint ever been perfect to begin with, so don't blame me (Or Herr_Alien) for it.
In order to complete the map, you will need to locate and use several items found along the way. The available Player equipment list includes: Mask, MediComp, Netgun, Combistick, Speargun and Energy Sift. Some of these items are easy to locate. Some are not. close attention to your investigation will be rewarding - and essential - to your survival and ultimate success. The NPC's will not pick your weapons as they are configured to carry all that they will require.
The map's closing cinematic will not display unless all NPC's have followed the Player and entered the extraction point.
I hope you are up to the challenge.
