With my Love of all things christmas and all things left4dead I feel compelled to make a map that combines the two. Hopefully I shall keep this thread up to date with whats done.

I am getting help from a couple of friends with extra props for the map. The plan is a spooky ish christmas town, you move through it handing out christmas spirit (death) to the zombies.

Heres what I have at the moment, a couple of rough photoshop sketches.

Great concept tomdon. It's an ambitious project, considering all the custom content and the fact Jesus' birthday is only a month away. Good luck.

Cool idea Likely to be very popular even after Christmas, assuming you don't include any christmas carol ambient sounds ;P

I can see that someone's been playing quite a lot of Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts!

I am cracking away making textures, just thought I would mention its also had a name change . *somthing*4dead already feels like a cliche so its now called deadb4xmas .

Santa throwing brain-grenades? That would be cool.

Oh hai! one year later lol but I have an update. The project was put in the deep freezer as the sdk was not released in time for my xmas deadline. This year however I have a test version of the map up and running already. Its going to be a survival map to cut down on the work needed.

Heres a fresh teaser for the 09 season .
