New map idea - Storm map

Post by AWPwards » 23 Oct 2016, 04:56

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
My idea is basically colony map on a planet which would be grey and desolate (Like Hadley's hope, but) with freak storms and brief calm periods. It can be set on a world that is in the process of atmosphere processing -
( http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Atmosphere_Processing_Plant ) where the map would be littered with caves and small outposts.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
A new map is always a benefit (but a pain in the ass for you) it would create a new threat in rounds where for example when marines are storming a certain outpost, but must make quick drastic decision to seek shelter where half a squad could be split up which would create another atmosphere for the players isolation etc.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Basically each storm lasts around a minute with a calm period which lasts 10 to 15 minutes. If caught in the storm if could slow your character making it difficult to move and harder to see (cloudy vision) BONUS - helmets fly off.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Honestly no idea, but I have seen a storm system in place on some stations for shaft miners.

Maps take forever to make, fix, balance, playtest, fix, balance, playtest, etc. We do not take map suggestions for that reason. We'll have more maps, you just have to stick around.
