New Elements for New Maps

I think it would be nice to introduce new maps to change the game up a bit. Personally, I’m not a fan of Baguio and Sahara. Here are some ideas that would be interesting to implement on new/existing maps:

Natural Critters:
  • Natural critters would roam the map (e.g: Aquilon / Liberty) and is neutral until attacked
  • Thing can kill them and eat corpse which gives more health (mmm organic!) than marine corpse
       o Critters = Thing Medkits?
  • Thing can kill and transform into natural critters for shits and giggles
       o Will not be automatically hostile it will be same as Thing transforming into another marine
  • Marines now have a side objective, other than camping, to eliminate all critters and burn their corpses

Water:
  • There has been no maps with water and would be interesting to introduce
       o Why not a beach map with crashed ship at shore?
  • When you are in water, O2 is drained
       o Unlike snowstorm in Aquilon, you can stim but would take damage staying in it for too long

Critters idea is amazing. Allowing the thing to morph into one is a good idea. Medkits, IDK. Especially depending on these next 2 changes I want really bad. Gives marines a little tiny objective to distract them. Might as well kill them just to make sure, you know?

Its possible to make it work, I guess in terms of the sand/ station textures for that kind of map. Will look into it.

This would do wonders and would help prevent camping.

Bump.
