Somali pirates take huge tanker map

This idea has been in my mind (as well as McLuv) for some time now.

Here is the stage.

The map is one big oil tanker. And Somali pirates have taken it for ransom. All the ships crew have been killed off and the pirates have placed explosive chargers all around the ship. The only way to get the ship back is the board it and kill them all and disarm the explosive chargers.

So what this will play out like is very much like an insurgence map. Find the bombs. And Termite them.

The map wants to be very big as it needs to be able to have room for 64 players to move about. This is why I say a huge oil tanker. I Am sure there is one in the world that super big.

Now there is room for 2 new factions with this. Somali pirates and say some sort of special forces unit. I Myself like the idea of the British SBS. But it don't have to be that.

What you think?

PR Devs have said "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no" to Special Forces factions in PR and the whole idea of raiding a ship is the role of Special Forces.

As much as I'd love to play as the SBS, SAS, SEALS, Delta Force ect. ect. ect. Spec Op maps have been suggested and rejected before.

Resuggestion,

It is not a Re suggestion (as far as I know). If it is Re suggestion, then mod please merge with the original thread.

I Only said it could be that sort of faction. It don't have to be.

And even if the Devs have said no before. Does not mean they will say no to this. And anyway. You have to remember that there is a few community modders doing stuff that might look at this and take it up.

The game mode is what the key to this map is about. It's not just a run and gun in tight corners. Its like a insurgence map.

Also, Somali Pirate ship attacks have been suggested before, Tirak.

I'd like to see something like this as well, but think about it. You'd need whole new assets, factions, and the like. And this ship would have to be enterable, and more detailed than the thing on Iron gator.

It would take a huge amount of work.

ETA: the ship attack might not have it's own thread, though. But I'm sure it has been mentioned before, just not discussed in it's own thread. So, it's not that big of a resuggestion (aside from special forces factions).

I Have no doubt about that. But if the ship (or just a normal land map made to look metal) is made big enough. It could be very fun indeed.

Locked for re-suggestion and "never going to happen" syndrome.
