EDIT: New version, Xenomorph 2.0 is here! So, some of the pictures below are no longer exactly accurate. If you liked the first one, give 2.0 a shot. It features a lot of aesthetic and game play improvements.

--------------------

Xenomorph is a Halo 4 map I made for the Salvation game type by AbandonedCashew. Aesthetically, It's an homage to 80's scifi/horror movies like Alien, while the gameplay emphasizes surprise attacks and close-quarters combat.

The story begins just after you've brought the only survivor of some catastrophe or other back to the medlab aboard your spaceship-- when suddenly, something goes terribly wrong.

You have to bring the ship's systems back online, search the ship for the monster, overload the engine core and then make it to the safety of the escape pod before the whole thing blows up.

Your shields don't regenerate unless you stand near the surgical robot in the medlab (called the ZOIDBERG 5000). You'll find shotguns in the cargo bay. The infected use a series of vent shafts to surprise and attack the human players. Vent shafts are highlighted to show the infected which shaft will lead them to the next objective the humans are trying to reach.

I recommend adjusting the 'Rescue Point Grace' depending on how many players you have. It's set to 10 seconds by default which works well for 3 players. The health settings for Xenomorph are very specific, so make sure you use the custom gametype. This map is completely useless without Salvation; it won't work for Slayer, Infection or anything else.

I know no one is really checking for Halo 4 maps anymore, but if you're still on the 360, give it a shot. I actually finished this map about 6 months ago but my 360 died on me before I could get pictures, so I've been waiting for Gamestop to live up to their end of my replacement agreement to post it. Special side note: DO NOT GIVE YOUR BUSINESS TO GAMESTOP. THEY F%#KING SUCK.

Couple of notes:

Activate the computer in the cargo bay to make a mounted machine gun appear inside the wooden crate. 

Activating one of the computers on the bridge will cause it to explode and turn off, as an ode to the many exploding consoles on the bridge of the Enterprise.

Salvation is an objective based game type, so you'll have to use computers, open doors and all sorts of other things in order to make it to the end of the level.

There are three kinds of flood to choose from: a small, fast, weak flood with unlimited thruster; a large, slow, strong flood with unlimited promethean vision; or an average size, speed, strength flood with no ability.

Special thanks to AbandonedCashew for making the awesome Salvation game type, to Biggteddybear, whose unfinished spaceship map inspired me to build Xenomorph, and to
ill ian314 and TomarEstasBolas for helping me test it a million times.
