Description


Meat's back on the menu... again! Slaughter defrosts in a new twist on the Arena gamemode, with all the freezerburnt meat products you can chew on. But watch your step - if the lack of food safety regulations don't kill you, the OSHA violations just might!







But what is Freeze Tag? It's Arena mode, but when a player would normally die, they are instead frozen solid. Their team can thaw them out by standing near them, but watch out, as enemies can block thawing just like a control point. A team wins when all of the enemy players are frozen, or if they capture the control point that opens up after a map's given time.







Freeze Tag's take on the Arena formula aims to provide more of a “back and forth” than a standard Arena game normally would, as allowing players the ability to bring their teammates back from the dead gives them more sway over the outcome of a match.
Should they push in and stop an enemy from thawing out a teammate, or should they retreat and find some teammates of their own to thaw out to turn the tide of battle in their favour?

This is the first time I've seen this map at all and I gotta say, the freeze tag is very interesting solution to the sudden death rules that made the original Arena boring and frustrating to play (even VSH to an extent)

Unfortunately I'm not sure we get much power over whether it's smissmas exclusive or not. We would love it to be restricted to smissmas only, but I think that's up to valve i'm afraid

The gamemode concept and maps are cool.:Speech_Love:

The only thing that i'm worried about is that it might get added to all-year map pool. Please prevent that from happening. Keep it as a smissmas special.:Speech_Alert:

because nothing is more jolly and christmas-like than a bloody butcher factory.

Hm, guess you're right there. The end goal was always just to give people more assets to use to fit a wider variety of maps (since if you're making a normal map that isn't set in a cold environment, the ice statues would be out of place).
We'll discuss this internally, thanks for bringing that to my attention

I might be missing something here, but doesn't adding map during a summer event guarantees that it will get added to constant map pool? Wouldn't that be against the idea of keeping the freeze tag gamemode holiday restricted?

Once the Smissmas update drops (whether freeze tag is included or not) we will be making the prefab public so that people can make their own maps for it, then we will begin development on summer and halloween variants

BTW about availability of Freeze Tag mode: do you planning to release Vscript files on TF2Maps or somewhere else? And if it so, is it happening only after successful integration of mode in-game?
