Ice map Ladders and Elevators

Post by Jalleo » 12 Jan 2017, 13:16

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
small elevators instead of some ladders for four people and make the current elevators larger with multiple entrance and exit points.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Make it easier to go up and down as a team and escape more easily while reducing FF by having people all shoot to one alien just outside the door on reflex. Instead you shoot the alien closest to the door by you.
It would also give a greater focus on aliens to use the pre-made tunnels at the start of the rounds.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
It would focus the aliens more on trying to take the elevators later in the round to assault upwards or use a tunnel to make a hive somewhere the marines are not at above ground rather than completely staying underground and giving no chance for the marines to make a foothold underground at all.
This would also give more focus on having marines to be organized when going down and having nobody down there already when they head down meaning they don't know if they are heading into a trap by accidentally going down to the middle of the hive.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Mapping magic.

Personal Note: I always find it too frustrating to organize a squad to go down by a ladder than a elevator in a organized fashion. Also I just threw this down to see what people think about it rather than just not put it down on the forums.

I think a stairs with a clunky z level switch would be better than ladders or elevators because both of those just delay, the moment you go down or up your bum rushed by either team and either instant huggered or sprayed by 3 people with AP and a nade

That's not a bad suggestion.

I want also to point out that there's a little know trick that the aliens don't know: there's a vent tube that goes between the upper and udnerground areas.

We know. It's just stressful to use vents due to the fact that it's VERY easy to damage the pipes.
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.
