M2 Scenario: The Alderian Connection

written by: Rudi Bloks, 1997

There are 5 solo levels:
 Level 1: We come in piece - really
 Level 2: Water wonder land
 Level 3: Some like it hot
 Level 4: Free Aliens - While supplies last
 Level 5: The biggest gun wins

These maps are big. In addition they use more sprite collections
("types of aliens") in any one map than Bungie used to do. So,
you will probably need to give M2 more memory than the default 
setting (using the Finder's Get Info command). If you are low
on memory, you may not be able to load these maps. You can also
play these levels in Marathon Infinity, but you will have to change
the file type before Infinity will see the map file.

How hard are these maps? Well, more than average I would say. 
They are comparable to the toughest Bungie M2 maps and get 
progressively more difficult (at least that's my intention).

I have tried to come up with some plausible plot to drive this
scenario. All the terminals have original art work. 

I appreciate some feedback on these levels. This will help me
improve my map making skills. So tell me what you do like and 
what you do not like about them.
