Mapping idea

Steinhauer

<div class="IPBDescription">MINECARTZ!!!1</div>I'm no mapper, though I've tried with several games before and failed, but I thought of a cool idea for anyone who would care to implement it. Since UWE has said they're going to implement minecarts into the game, why not make a map where a group of 3-6 marines or so can be "spawned" in by rolling in on a mine cart, like reinforcements? Maybe give the aliens a slight advantage elsewhere in the map, and make sure their victory conditions are attainable, and this could make for some interesting gameplay. The Marines wouldn't need an IP to spawn in but it would be very advantageous, seeing as the minecart only spawns a whole group. The IPs could be destroyed and marines could still be carted in periodically. It would take some LUA coding and some creative balancing on the part of the mapper, but I think it could be pulled off well. My inspiration comes from reading Part 1 of Six Days in Sanjii when they mention being inserted by maintenance dollies.

What say you?
