Description
Marines we have received an emergency beacon from the genetic lab at LVR-784,but we have no response on the comms! Hustle up and investigate the situation!

This is my old campaign from alien swarm, it contains only two maps but they are bigger than the average small maps in AS.
Playing with bots is not advised as node graphs aren't there, so expect some issues, and as of now im not planning on doing further improvements.
On the second map lag/high ping on the initial area is due to many network entites including the rotation publicity object, recomended to play it on a dedicated server, if you host it yourself you might experience said issue.If you play it solo offline no issues present.

On a side note, there are several interactable stuff that are not related to the mission, but that add some extra fun to the game, as outdoors light sources, stasis pods, equipment boxes i made a while ago etc.
First map has 3 custom objectives and second map has 6 custom objectives.

If trouble with download, link from moddb:

Big thanks to Tim XFUNC Carter for sharing his vast knowledge about mapping,without him it wouldnt be as awsome as it is.
Thanks to Soulless for helping me testing with high pings all the time,even going for the 1000 ping record one time :)
We dont know what caused such high pings....fake,we do know,but its classified information.
Thanks to Goodone for testing the maps and hosting the campaign on his server.
Thanks to the following friends for testing the map:

I suggest a bit less bloom but rest looks fine so far :steamhappy:

Cool! I get it!!

Hey buddy, i am glad you guys like the map, the lag on the initial area is due to many network entities such as biomass, eggs all in the same place and also due to the publicity object wich is the first rotating object with signs once you start the mission, the solution to this is maybe removing some biomass and eggs and even possibly removing the rotating function, it is something of trial and error, but i will look into it, give me some time to try and fix this.
PS: your english is good :)

As you said, my little buddy who left a message downstairs and me have experienced high ping on the second map. Please forgive me for my poor English. I can't figure it out "the rotation publicity object" meaning. We like this map so much that we play it over and over again to clear customs until 00:30 a.m. We're looking forward to fixing the second map's problem. XDXDXD
