Bringing back the Sulaco

Post by [REDACTED] » 11 Mar 2018, 16:36

So I just thought of this, What if the Devs bring back the Sulaco map with the updated sprites and all that. I just wanna see everyone’s opinion on this and what they think about it.

P.S. I know that the Atmos system is broken from what people said but it would still be a good map.

I want to see an updated Sulaco on like, April fool's day. That would be fun.

I want a new desert themed map, with an oil well station, Sulaco crashed near it, thats how xenos get there lore wise, the map would be like Ice Colony where you need to keep drinking metal flasks to cool off the heat, or not, ALSO KEBAB MREs IN VENDORS!!

Add canteens to the game if that is the case.

That would be a great map. Maybe the marines could have humpbacks that need to be refilled instead of canteens.

Too much work, the map would more or less be completely redesigned and we just got the Ally made really.

Maybe one of the missions could be to board the Sulaco, accept it's swarming with goddamn lizards instead of marines.

I think the only time we would see the Sulaco would be if it was crashed on a planet like the map ideas above. From my memories of the Sulaco, it was kind of added onto Ad-hoc, and was way too small for the growing population of CM. Remember it also only had the Rasputin and a drop pod, which I don't think is enough space to move 4 squads worth of marines at a time. Also the escape pod placement was bad, but you almost never evacced on the sully anyways so it did not matter.

Basically bringing back the Sulaco would require a total overhaul of it its interior, which would make it a completely different ship and ruin the point of bringing it back.

Also the Sulaco in universe blew up, so that is another problem. Unless the map was set on LV-426 and you had to explore the crashed Sulaco plus Hadleys Hope, it would not really make much sense.

What would be the Xeno equivalent of the RO line? Everyone waiting to get handed facehuggers by a drone?
