Xmas Spirits

Description
Xmas is Here! Get ready this is will get serious!
Defeat Spirits of the Past to celebrate New Year!
Face enemies what you never face before.
--------------------------------How i ended up here/Как я до этого дошел----------------------------
While working on Serious 3 mod i decided to celebrate New Year by making this awesome map.
Because Croteam basically not giving us events for holydays this ♥♥♥♥ was born.
I hope you and you friends(if you have any) enjoy this mod, as much as i enjoy making it(grammar careful!!!)
No skill points here - only pure chaos!
Some music was taken from Serious Sam 2(for survival mode)

Вообщем я пока работаю над модом 3 части,решил вот за пару неделек запилить карту) У Кротимов почти небывает евентов,а сообщество у нас маленькое - подумал и решил сделать этакое событие сам для тех кто играет.Надеюсь вам понравится в это играть,так же как я кайфанул во время создания этого шедевра!
-------------------------------Current state of mod/Текущее состояние мода-----------------------------
Сurrently map is fully playble and in good balance condition.It was long road,but i finally finished this.
I recommend starting to play this map on Hard or even Normal for newcomers,because Serious is pretty hard!
If you struggle try Easy,some bosses attacks is disabled and should be much easier to finish.
Map also can be played in Survival(Solo and Coop),but it quite different experience and more enemy types will show up in this one.
If anyone find some bugs let me know.
Have fun guys hope you enjoy little chaos that i created!

В настоящее время карта полностью играбельна и в хорошем состоянии баланса. Это был долгий путь, но я, наконец, закончил ее.
Я рекомендую начинать играть на этой карте на Hard или даже на Normal для новичков, потому что Serious довольно сложный!
Если вам никак не пройти, попробуйте Easy, некоторые атаки боссов отключены, и карту должно быть намного легче закончить.
Карту также можно играть в режиме выживания (соло и кооператив), но это совсем другой опыт, и в этом режиме появится больше типов врагов.
Если найдете какие то баги напишите,постараемся исправить :D
Спасибо всем кто поиграл в мою карту,надеюсь вам понравился то маленький хаос что я создал!
------------------------------Known bugs(for now)/Известные баги(на данный момент)-----------------------------
-Spirit(Santa dude) cant be killed with cannon and some projectile weapons if he health wll be below 10%
Try using hitscan weapons(shotgus,etc) to finish him.This happens sometimes,dunno whats a problem.
I decided leave it be cus it funny,and give you reason to change tactic a little bit.
-Иногда Духа(Санту) нельзя добить ракетами и пушкой,вообщем снарядами,если у него хп меньше 10% примерно.Просто стреляйте из автоматов или пулеметов по нему.Хоть это и баг я решил пока его не убирать,так как считаю его забавным+понятия не имею как так выходит))

I would suggest adding some skill points, at least 3

In some way you definitely right.Map is really hard on serious for most people.
Its just not your tipical "backpedal to victory" map) You need to move on this one and a lot.
I think most people mistake is just walking and not using a jumpads,they was put on this map for a reason! Just play medium difficulty and see if you can beat it.Expecting beating a map on Serious first try is kinda strange to me.But i assure you - its beatable 100%,its just somewhat junky.
I can of course improve much more,but think its better left alone.
Survival mod is pretty good through) And of course 2 part(2024 version) is much better,so try it instead,maybe you will like it more.

It is impossible to play on serious difficulty, there is no balance:steamthumbsdown:

Celestialray No, your right! If most people dont prefer this type of map design - so IT IS BAD DESIGN choice.I don't make excuses! As i was saying - feedback form this map got me insight how not to design maps in future.You need learn how to fall first to know how stand up later :)
Thanks again for playing my map and leaving a comments(even if negative ones),i really appreciate it! Also sorry for my bad english,not my first language :0

Man, I can do siberian mayhem on ng+10 with no issues, maybe you can complete your map because you created it and know every detail about it, but it's undeniably bad for the rest of us. It's poorly designed. Maybe you consider it amazing or something, but that's just your opinion and you'll continue to get this kind of feedback on your future maps.

Celestialray Locking back i overestimate abilities most of the players in this community.Dont get me wrong - map is still not great,it mid at best,and i know it.Keep also in mind,this was a very short project,and i worked on it for about 2 weeks on and off after work,so ofcourse it will be rough.If it is a worst map for you? So be it,cant judge it myself.We will see if i can get a comeback in next projects ;)
Also where is granadelauncher addon with clusterbombs,do you even check it?!)))
And you can play map in survival,that gives you more addons and much more relaxed experience(in my opinion).So check it out too!

Celestialray Hey! Thanks for playing my map and i appreciate your feedback.
Well release version was much worse.I significantly nefred alot of stuff,so if you think map is bad,your dont see original version ;)
I think most problem with this map arise from - it too difficult to switch playstyles for players.Most people i see prefer "backpedaling" style.Of course you will have hard time to complete this map!
Keep in mind that you have alot different weapons on this map.Different weapons more effective against different enemies.Kinda shocking, right?! I give so many weapons to player for a reason!
Tested map on normal,hard(for release version) and serious many times.And complete it on all difficulties,even before nerfs.So it much easier in last versions.Cant name myself a "veteran player",cus i kinda suck,but played every serious sam game.So i understand basics of this games quite well.
But i agree with your complains,add to my list in future projects :D

Almost forgot, your map could actually be easily doable on serious difficulty (I'm sure you tested it on something like tourist, like most shitty map makers do) if we had the skill points to spec into born to run and maybe dual wielding for heavy weapons for more damage output.
Also, no weapon attachments, cluster grenade could be extremely useful here.

Man, if you really need to teach people how to fight your boss fight, then maybe it's a dog crap boss fight, have you thought about that?
Anyway, the bull is not the problem, you can cheese him by standing behind a jumper so he gets jumped away when he gets close to you. The problem is the never ending armies of extremely annoying enemies, along with most homing attacks the boss does.
1. Kamikaze snowmen that have horrible hit boxes? Check.
2. Gnaars that leap like kleers? Check.
3. Those humanoid enemies that are way too tough for some reason? Check.

This has to be the worst map I ever played in any serious sam game, ever. And I've been playing serious sam since the first encounter. Congrats. Stop making maps man, you're wasting our time and yours as well because nobody enjoys those crappy maps.

For people who still can't handle the bull - stay away from him! If you need to dodge a dash - wait for him to come closer and jump to the side. You need to jump, the usual step to the side in most cases may not work! Don't stand still for too long, especially on higher difficulties! Remember about launchers, don't try to run around this map on foot for too long! In the latest version, the bull moves slower, but will increase its speed if you get too close, keep that in mind.
