Barrel Map Idea

Post by caleb »

This might be completely stupid, but Demon gave me an idea while playing parking garage the other day. Funniest traps on that map? The barrel traps. Nothing's funnier than the rogue barrels exploding on an unsuspecting passer-by. Especially when people start hitting the barrels back and forth to each other. It got me thinking.. What if there was a map... just a flat, big room where everyone had to survive the falling barrels. Let's say 10 of them fell onto the arena, and people started dodging and hitting them at each other with the crowabars. Hilarity. Last person standing wins.

A set of barrels drops every 1 minute... and each time they drop there' more and more. Kind of like a wave pool at a water park, it counts down on a big clock until the next wave comes.

But what about when there's two people left? They'll not get anywhere near each other right? Well you could test the map out and find a good timed spot.. say 2 minutes into the round where gravity guns are dropped down so you can really get things cooking quicker.

I think this could be interesting and fairly quick to make a map for. All types of possiibilities, make hill incline and declines, traps within the arena etc. By the way everyone would be on the same team.

Does this sound appealing to anyone else?

Sounds good to me, nothing like a good ol' spell of free-for-all chaos to wake you up on a monday.

My points exactly, alright, last try. Any map devs out there willing to give this a shot for the heck of it?

I could do this in 10 seconds when I have the free time, if demon hasn't already completed the map.

Btw nice bump. .__.
Please dont ask me how to script.
Instead, click this.
Btw; I'm an asshole to idiots.
