[UMS Test 7] - Infestation - p 1/2 - StarCraft 2

UMS review number 7! This is the first TRUE first person shooter map I have played so far in StarCraft 2. Pros: First person shooter in an RTS! LOTS of different weapons. Several different bad guys. Can interact with objects. Tracks health and other stats. Fairly easy controls. Different difficulty settings. Multiplayer. Lots of potential. Cons: Lag is extremely noticeable when playing with friends (this is more a Bnet issue I believe). Some choppy/glitchy animations. Can see through some walls if you stand close to them. Short. Only kill Zerg. Husky Rating: 8.5/10 Reason: This is one of those maps that I see as showcasing the powerful potential of the StarCraft 2 Galaxy Editor. Once again Blizzard has released a ground breaking tool for making and designing maps and I also have no doubt that the custom maps we will see from it will only continue to be more and more awesome. I love FPS and its hilariously awesome to see them inside an RTS game. The map overall is very fun and unique, but still has a ton of cosmetic and a little back end work to go until it feels just right. For this reason I give it a fairly strong rating but leave it some room to improve. I know the map is in ALPHA stage, so that's why I leave it some room to improve. That aside, it is VERY fun!
