This'll be a place to post ideas on wishfull holiday patches.

I was always fond of temporary software changes to spice things up durring the holidays. But are Pumpkin backpacks the best we can do? I know there are some creative folks out there, so speak up!

...Personnaly I wouldn't mind seeing the Sleeper flying from one cont. to another shredding any poor smuck that got too close...but thats the wrong game...

...still love to see it, again...

Bah...make it an optional download. Then the PC retrards will be left wandering around, asking what the hell everyone is laughing at.

How about in Sanctuary you get to see Jack-o-laterns and other Holloween items.

Bring back the coffins for Halloween. These were in beta and in retail for a bit, then taken off due to excessive lag.

All GeoWarps have an eerie look of a Jack-o-Lantern on them.

When assaulting Esamir, Solsar and Ceryshen, the Core whispers in the wind.

When you hack a terminal, a "BOO!" wav should sound.

Sheeesh....I don't celebrate Christmas, never have nor do I intend to. But thats, just BS. I love going to Disneyland....of all seasons...during Christmas when they have the decorations. Doesn't bother me. Anyone complaining needs to get a hobby.

Yeah.. I remember all that shit. Here are my ideas:

~Everyone gets a witch hat that is Empire colored
~the backpacks are Pumpkins.
~WGs will have and orange theme instead of lime green

thats all I can think of. Maybe scary sounds? Doomish as mentioned earlier?

I read it in a forum somewhere for last Holloween. Can't really remember exactly.

Here's some idieas I'd like to see for Holloween:
-Broomsticks for VS MAXes.
-People with DL would see a ghost hovering right behind/above everyone.
-When you die, before respawn, you see the ghost as well
-More storms.
-Real lightning durring storms (read this one somewhere else too)

or.. when you turn on Darklight, the screen flashes and loud shreeks EXPLODED out of your headset ruining your hearing forever. all while you are taking damage and malestroms are floating in front of you shooting you, and everything turns upside down, and all the names go red, and OSs are exploding around you! :doh: That should put DL flashers to a stop

Every time you flash DL...God kills a cloaker.

Omg. Flash darklight, and a screamer pops up, does its thing, and then makes you blind.

Cloakers rule the day.

Very cool ideas, though.

The devs probably have something else up their sleeves. :p

Ghosts of fallen comrades anyone? :DRandom bodies floating around when Darklight is on would be beyond awesome.

Maybe a few corpses in specific places of bases, but only visable when in DL. Preferably in sheltered areas, like behind / on top of the big crate stacks in the catacombs, to make it seem like they were hiding from something.

Have random and spontanious audio contacts coupled with disturbing noises for audio amp users.


You could spin it off as the bodies being a semiphysical manifestation of the resonence crystals trying to affect us, and the general scary theme (Jack-o-lantern Geowarps, pumpkin backpacks) as the core playing wargames, psy-op style.
