I was just wondering, when people here make their first level of their FPSC games, how do they "start"?

As in, how does your character [the player] arrive in the gameworld?
(ex: EvilMansion - the player's car has broken down and they venture into the creepy manor house in search of help - you begin the game just inside the front door)

I ask this because I have a nice idea for a post-alien invasion game, but need to think of a reason why the gun-packing player "suddenly appears" in it...

Does anyone have any tried and tested plausable "starts" for their games - I've done the "wake up in cell-escape-find gun-go kill" routine, but for the life of me I cant think of a decent alternative...

...well, except for being a lone soldier dropped in by airship or the like, but I cant make AVI vids to do that! :S

um, well, unless you have a story zone, the character will just pop up, that's the only way i can think of how to get around it.

You could make the loading screen show a little story like :it was a grim day in new york when alien ships invaded earth abducting inoccent people including john doh were after the abduction found himself in an alien prison.end of story.Then you could get the player to use an old piece of alien material he found as a weapon.done
