CM minigame for ghosts

Guys my addiction is unbearable, I can no longer stand sitting in dchat for an hour and then waiting another hour to get t3 if I’m lucky enough

I feel like this has probably been suggested before but can we put in a minimap similar to thunderdome for the ghosts to play while the actual round concludes? Something like Abyssal or even smaller, you get to spawn as already kitted marines, specs, or xenos of varying evos and just fight.

Basically I want thunderdome but not on some random staff member’s whim once every 2000 rounds and even then you spawn as a christmas tree or hefa or some dumb shit and get shot 3 times and die instantly

Ghost need the ability to possess objects like doors or machines and allow them to cause the machines to glitch out.

Edit: Colony side only of course.

Have you considered like, alt tabbing, watching some youtube, answering some emails or whatever? Playing some lesser/facehugger?

I’m unsure if this is a good plan. Thunderdomes have been known to cause crashes.

A ghost bar would be fun, we could even let xenos in. Mix drinks, talk shit, have a good time.

Yeah

Still would be fun to have this though

Apparently it’s been tested in the past and thunderdome doesn’t actually cause much lag.

Wasn’t that the justification for adding hunting grounds?

I mean yeah it would be nice. I think one of the reasons the Hunting Grounds exists is because of this, but honestly it falls flat in my opinion, mainly since it’s heavily in the Pred players favor, especially since the map was downgraded. Don’t get me wrong, I do like the Hunting Grounds, and it was a nice addition, it’s not an overall bad thing, but for the most part it’s not really fun - at least not for the human side. Also it doesn’t really happen often enough, it’s all dependant on if it’s a Pred round or not, and if they feel like spawning it.

I remember someone was working on a COD Zombies type thing, which looked really promising. You’d basically fight waves of Xenos (Zombies) and get upgrades, drops and such. Seemed really fun.

Just imagine if this was a thing, but had different enemy types, bosses, all that cool stuff - it’s all possible, but yeah I doubt this will be expanded upon sadly, looked really promising.

I doubt anything like this will ever be a thing, mainly because of how much server resources it would take, or at least it would only be one person at a time type thing, who knows. :melting_face:
