Found a bug (a real one this time!) : I were a human and the thing were after me. I was gonna die (1 hit and I were dead) so I decided to enter into a vehicule (a goliath in this case). But just before I get into it, the zergling kills me and a broodling spawn BUT I entered the Goliath for an unknown reason... so now, I have a Goliath, a broodling and my marine (wich is supposed to be dead) at the middle bottom of the map and when I try to exit the Goliath (move the marine), the marine is teleported to the goliath and the goliath disapear but then my marine get teleported back to the middle bottom space and I get again the Goliath... Oh... and it seems that the game were considering me as dead cause the Thing has won.

That's not a bug. :P But the fact that it entered the vehicle with the broodling staying outside is a bug indeed. The fact that you had 2 forms at the same time created another bug. Thanks. :)

Nope! Glad to have find a REAL bug :D

This map is sexy, seriously. A map that will make all other "The Thing" maps obsolete, for sure. At least to everyone who has played it. I highly recommend this map as something that you would want to play a few times a month forever. (after the initial surge of playing it a lot) The systems are just so perfect for what is required. ^^

Can this be done in single player too or is it only for Battle.net?

It's the thing, you need multiplayer. One person is the thing, who can transform into a strong zergling, and everyone has a marine. the point is to figure out who's the thing and kill him. the thing is to kill all the marines.

:D Got bw over christmas and I started playing this, it's really fun, as long as there aren't a bunch of newbies who leave in the middle of the game >.>. But anyways, is there anyways to use the Infared scanner? I tried to move shuttle when me and my friend were both on it, but nothing happened. Is it supposed to detect the thing because one of the logs said, "The thing's body tempature is on average 300 degree celsious, so now you know how to detect a thing!" Or something like that. If you can use the scanners, how do you?

Two questions... 1. seeing as how maplantis is down, are you going to attach the map to this thread? 2. how did you modify the colors of the wireframes? the blue engineering bay was pretty cool, but I'm especially thinking of the beige bits in the shuttle screenshot...
