Anyways, downloading now!

Mediafire hates me I'm sorry

[Mendez]

Hey, it's not like it matters too much. Honestly though, I hate the pesky ads that Sendspace tries to sneak into each download. Here's your Best-ever link for the maps and weapons: http://static.best-ever.org/wads/holidaydeathmatch2012.pk3

Thanks a bundle!

ThatGuy74 is currently hosting a server to spread Holiday Cheer so get in there!

[King Dumb]

I'm hosting this expansion on the (hopefully functional) BE MM8BDM TDM server for the holidays, so it can be enjoyed there as well after the temporary servers go down.

One thing I have to say, it's too bad Future Slicer (a secret weapon unlocked after beating MMCC2 on Hard) and Humb Bug (Scrooge's weapon from MMCC2) didn't make the cut. I was hoping there would be more than just two maps, but I understand if not many were able to contribute.

But I'm glad to see this completed. I love the Deck Your Halls theme.

I found an issue with the first map. I'll just quote this from the CSCM thread (on Green Hill Zone).

WHY DOES THE WATER KILL YOU INSTANTLY

...

There's absolutely no indication of the water being deadly. That's a big no no right there. There's a reason the instakill water in Blizzard Man's stage has spikes dotted all over on it.

Also, the water does not prevent bots from falling in and killing themselves.

...

On an unrelated note, that is easily the most visible Yashichi ever.

Ghost Shackle?  It's actually called Marley's Shackle.

Why do all the Christmas Carol weapons seem so weak?  It took a stupidly long time for me to kill anyone with them.  I do like the fact that how quick you click determines how fast Twinkle Buster fires, but my God, it must do like 1 damage.  I think we're in desperate need for buffs all around.

At least the two maps seem kind of cool, but I don't get to playtest them online because my "s" key is broken, and since I play like a coward and backpedal a lot, I...can't really play well without my walk backwards key working.

[Russel]

Yea, I made sure the CC weapons were not too overpowered, though I might have made them a BIT weak in that regard.
Though, in online play, the weapon I had the most trouble killing with was Present Surprise, as there is a bug that causes the sprite to fall through the floor. Other than that (and the absurd lag Ghost Shackle can generate), I think the weapons came out nicely, especially considering I tried to shit out the weapons at 3 this morning.

Apparently not obvious notes:
Ghost Shackle can hit through walls/floors,
Candy Cane can make platforms,
Present Surprise can be jumped off of (if you can find it online),
Twinkle Buster is a shot gun whose RoF is determined by how fast you click,
And Rubber Duff is the best bouncing thing ever.

[Superjustinbros]

Well if there is ever an update to this expansion, I'd like the weapons to get fixed and slightly buffed. Also, I felt as if the Candy Canes don't stay attached to the walls long enough, and you can't overlay them like in CC and CC2.

When I try to connect to the server, it always says "access to HolidaythingmodIforgetname is denied.

You may have too many wads loading up at one time

[Ceridran]

Did I make it sound too "instant"?

Once it all is loaded, at the end of the list, the holidaydm2012 or whatever it's called, says access is denied to this.

Is the pk3 supposed to be 0kb?
I think this other download will work okay.
