*IDEA* TF2 Update: Shipwrecked/Pirate Update

[D6]

Over the years we have had many themed updates, some as fitting to the season as the annual holiday updates (halloween, xmas, etc.) and some very ridiculous. I think a pirate themed update would be a great addition to the game. I have always wanted to see a TF2 map for CPoints or CTF and items that had a Pirate theme, tropical scenery with plenty of rum, wenches, treasure, and hats... hats far as the eye can see.

Please be aware that this is just an idea that seems like it could be another way to make TF2 more diverse and of course fun. New maps with shipwrecked members of Mann Co. fighting to survive by capturing new landmarks (CP) or by stealing the enemy's limited supplies or their treasure (CTF).

If anyone else would like to see an update like this please say so! If there is enough interest in a pirate update then it's possible it can happen.

Thanks for reading matey!

Hmmm, i wouldnt wanr a Pirate update much. But something little similiar to that you are writing. What about some survival update? Your idea with stealing the enemy's limited supplies would fit. And maybe some interesting hats and weapons by this theme would fit very well. :D

They made robotic boogaloo, that was entirely community.
This idea actually sounds good though.

Imagine, an island, and the RED team are the people that lived their entire life on the island, and the only thing they have are strong melee weapons. The BLU team are shipwrecked, and have weak primary weapons(And also weak melee). However, the RED team are the only ones who have supplies for health.
RED wants treasure and weapons, BLU wants supplies and and afcourse also the treasure. Who will find it first?

Maybe for this Halloween, a Pirate themed boss?

I just want something like Balloon race to be an official game mode. Make Red and Blu fight on identical pirate ships racing to capture points or something like that.

i don't think it would be good since the theme of halloween is just 'spooky and/or silly'. Look at everyone's costumes, all of them being different (Excluding cursed souls)

[D6]

I think a pirate themed halloween boss would be kinda cool as long as the majority of loot gained can be used w/o the fullmoon or halloween exclusions. That is indeed a possibility.

[D6]

Though I was going for more of a general patch/update so maps made for this theme would not be seen as another "just a halloween level", even so I would be happy to see even a small bit of pirate themed content so again the halloween thing isn't so bad.

we already have a few pirate themed content, like the soldier's Caribbean Conqueror+Brawling Buccaneer and the demoman's Swashbuckler's Swag (Including the loose cannon)

I would kind of like to see a pirate like update. They could add a new melee only map (And I mean melee only no huntsman/crusader's crossbow), give all the classes some pirate themed melee weapons, and some pirate themed hats and miscs.

This is true Josh but all that content is very limited, the items are usually looked over as well. I'm not saying the items are bad but just not as good as some alternatives. Again the content is minor and I was going for more of larger scaled pirate theme with new maps + items.

Blunderbuss? flintlock pistols? a sentry cannon that can only be moved, shot, and reloaded manually?

Adding a new game mode would be cool as an event or even long term of the event is successful. The reality is that there probly won't be a new game mode, but who knows?
