Who is planning on making a christmas map this year

[KingJosh]

Was just curious to see how many new christmas maps there are going to be released in December. There aren't enough imo, I have been searching UP and mapraider yesterday and I downloaded a few but there isn't as many as I expected. Ive been looking through some snow textures today and I think I might start a christmas themed map tomorrow. Who else can I expect to make 1?

I might start one, not sure if I'll ever finish it though.

Kinda amused by this, only cuz over at http://www.unrealadmin.org/forums, at the beginning of this month, they were asking who has Halloween maps, mutators, and other stuff for ut99 too.

End of October- perfect time to start a christmas map imo

Hopefully without being sarcastic, because you are 100 % right.

I will never forget the up xmas pack fail. It was really funny.
The pack was not even released in february.

So if anybodys want to do that, start early enough. People are most likely not able to keep the deadline anyway.

Yes I was being 100% serious. Because if I remind people about christmas now, then that way the maps don't get rushed. its better to start a map this week instead of throwing together a poorly made map right before christmas time. I am learning the value of not rushing maps anymore, so hopefully my christmas map wont fail

Why does nobody ever think about Thanksgiving?

I picture a MonsterHunt map populated by evil killer turkeys.

if i was ever going to make a good map, witch is near to impossible as i suck at mapping, i would make a normal map so its played more, not 1-2 mounths a year.

Doesn't gotta be like that. I've currently got about 7 XMAS maps. I play them year round.

Admittedly, I only use the Capture the Tree XMAS, mod Flag/Tree coverter for CTF, in December.

Maybe because america isn't the world?
Halloween is spreading already like the black-plague.

How about a map pack for the German Unity Day, while we are at it.

You do know that America isn't the only country that celebrates Thanksgiving, right?

By the same token, Halloween & Christmas aren't celebrated all over the world either.

Hmmm appears this thread is going to become a thread full of non relevant posts. I created this to see how many new christmas maps I can expect, not to discover that evilgrins wants a thanksgiving map........

Back on topic......Since it seems not too many mappers are going to create christmas themed levels I decided I will try to make 2 of them. Also Isotoxin might create 1. Total estimate so far: 3..... Anyone else?

I want to make a Christmas map but I have two other Ideas right now to work on.
Btw. If you need some Christmas Tree... Gen made some for my Northern Lights map.

Then stop complaining and do it yourself, some just have no relation to thanksgiving...

If you look back in the past you might remember about the UT bonuspack 4 which was something like xmas pack. Christmas is just more common for most of the people.
