<div class="IPBDescription">'Tis the Season</div>Hi all,
I was wondering how the community would feel about about a Christmas themed NS2.

To my knowledge, its done by other developers* to keep the player base feeling refreshed and entertained. I mean, its easier to make a new player model than a new map - right?

Please Discuss :)

    There's actually a pretty hilarious mod out there for this sort of thing. Saw it running on the HBZ server I believe.

    Although it would be slightly neat. Changing and adding models just for a holiday not everyone celebrates would require far too much man power that could be used on making the game better.

    oh and just for a little perspective. Maps can take upwards of 6 months to a year to pump out. No idea on models but I would assume two weeks or so to design a new model and a week or so to texture.

    No hat for the gorge, but for the skulk :>.

    We currently have it on the Ziegenfarm 2, so make sure to check it out. It makes you smile when you get eaten by santas little helpers.

    The mod is 230 MB in size, which took me 3 minutes to fully connect (download + install).

    You can directly connect with our integrated server browser on <a href="http://hbz-clan.de/" target="_blank">http://hbz-clan.de/</a> . Have fun =)

    edit: the mod is made by GUNSLINGER.

    It actually wouldn't be too difficult to do, im surprised we haven't seen much yet with models, that christmas themed mod is cool but there's way too many simple texture mods on the workshop at the moment and it would be good to start seeing stuff that takes a bit more work...

    I miss TFC when Christmas would come around. All the grenades turned into presents and exploded with confetti. I was sad to see that TF2 didn't pick it up.

    WTF WHY IS THAT GORGE MODEL NOT IN STEAM WORKSHOP?!

    UWE is clearly hoarding the good stuff for themselves. This explains everything. They're probably hoarding all the performance for themselves too, that way they have an advantage over us -_-
