[General] Holiday map pack ideas (please insert into title )

For some reason this morning i woke up singing christmas songs . . . . very very weird experience and i couldnt tell you why then it got me remembering last years holiday map special :) Operation snow storm.

So i was thinking that it would be fun to have some sort of three part event map pack..
Halloween , (USA) Thanks giving and Chrismas ( like last year )

possibly having a temporary dedicated 3 map rotation holiday special server.
so to make it easy have 1km map size of the specific theme.

so for Halloween Map maby make some sort of zombie theme, Night/Dawn Use the orange leaf colored trees, Deadwood Trees, Grave yards+Church areas. Borded up village huts Fire :D . . . maby model one or two pumpkin and scarecrow objects for fun :)

and if you realy feel like it give players either a zombie skin or costume skin/hockey mask etc..

Yes i know its already october so mabey its not the best plan :) next year? ;)

ENOUGH Of me giving ideas .. at first i was thinking putting this under gernal discussion but .. its more of an idea thread..

*Give some ideas on what you might want in a holiday map pack. keeping operation snow storm in mind and how somthing like that could be improved upon.

*if there are any already created maps that could be converted over to PR mapping standards?? just for the event.

I wouldn't mind seeing another holiday map pack. Ive never played the snow storm map, and I'd personally like to see it back

Thanksgiving -

Have lots of civilians and insurgents with knives out walking around and then going to the center of West Fallujah where they meet up with Soldiers and their weapons and upon walking hand and hand to the Mosque, they each hand each other field dressings, or rocks and then the Soldiers open fire.

Those who survived are now hunted and have 50 minutes to elude the soldiers or in the process kill them before being killed or captured themselves.

The Civilians/Insurgents get one re-spawn (those who were killed during Thanksgiving Dinner can respawn).

Lets make zombie INS mode whic is all about killing zombie civis. And zombie civis would be carrying pistol and knife.
Blufor would have like 50 tickets and zombies 300 or something. Would be awesome to see zombies running in from everywhere and guns blazing and zombies going down.
Yeah, and it would be night map ofcource.

There was an event for that, I ended up starting it one hour early even though I didn't organize it because everyone messed up on the time.

screw reskins, just get a dusk map and give insurgents knives, pistols, maybe grenades only. and make them super powerful. running up to around 20-30% faster than blufor. and have 400% of the current health. (headshots remain 1 hit KO)

there a simple zombie mode which only requires a few code changes

pft, I know you can do it Rhino :grin:


You COULD just re-arrange kits for both sides. One flag is a mansion, and blufor has to hold it while zombie civi's try to take it =P

Blufor gets no respawns, insurgents get infinate 8)
