    SANTA SHOWDOWN
    BY: ChRiSxOSSIM

    Santa Showdown is an infection map made on Avalanche in which Santa is the last man standing and must make his way through several rooms and survive for 3 minutes.

    BACKSTORY
    It is Christmas Eve and Santa is out delivering presents, as usual, when his sleigh starts to malfunction. He crashes into the near-by town's Christmas Tree and is stranded. Santas elves show up and begin to attack Santa in a very violent manner. They are very angry at Santa because of the poor work contions he provideds for them at Santa's little workshop. These elves form a union and plot to kill Santa, which is why they messed with his sleigh and caused it to crash. Will Santa find will enough to survive the elven onslaught for 3 minutes with limited ammo and daring passageways? We shall see.

    THE MAP
    Santa start the game at the crash site and must survive until the first darkness comes (30 sec) and then move into the teleporter under the tree.

    After santa enters the teleporter, he enters room 2 where he finds the beloved shotgun that is so useful during elven revolts. There is a secret weapon that Santa can pull out of his bag in room 2, but you must find a way to get it(It's pretty obvious). He must survive untill dark(another 30 sec) and enter the last teleporter.

    The last area is Santa's final stand. Many weapons with scarce ammo are found in this area and a sniper rifle with one extra clip. Can Santa survive another 2 minutes?

    THE ELVES
    The elves spawn together in the caves of Avalanche and move to the crash site. After 30 seconds, the zombies can take a shortcut from their spawn to room 2 by means of the two teleporters in thier spawn. The elves must work together to take Santa down.

    THE GAMETYPES
    Two gametypes are made for this map. One is for a small party of 5 people or less and the other is for a party of more than 5 people. The differences between the gametypes are in the strength of Santa compared to the zombies.

    First of all, Merry Christmas to all who celebrate.

    Anyway, the map itself is moderately well-forged. The gametype is not necessarily very original; however, these types are always very fun. Nice work, it was worth your time.

    Just a quick question; what's to stop "Santa" from going through the teleporter before it is time? In theory, couldn't he just run through the map, picking up weapons along the way, and then just camp on that bridge in area 3? I would imagine the elves would have a tough time getting him there.

    The teleporters are blocked until set time by crates, gravlifts, etc. When they unblock you are able to run through them.

    Thanks for responding
    MERRY CHRISTMAS

    its an ok map the interlocking looked a bit rused next time maybe try and use markers so you know where its going to spawn so you can make cleaner interlocks but overall looks like it would be sort of fun not too much though because there looks to be easy camping spots. so i give it a 2.5/5
