With the spooky season over, it's now time for the cold season to set in. The Ru5ty Sh4ck presents the next entry into the long deathmatch series that you have grown to know: FreonDM. The concept takes some of the crazy colors previously seen in Neon and mixes in a frozen motif. The pack consists of 22 frigid maps that bring forth the expected gameplay of previous *eon packs and adds a small dash of environmental hazards here and there. There is also the addition of 3 new weapons which adds to the mix of craziness: the Laser Chaingun, Flamethrower, and Freeze Rifle. The project is currently wrapping up. Download links and a couple of screeenshots are below. Have an ice day.

Beta 3 is now released and the links in the first post have been updated. A bit has happened since the first release including new maps with guest submissions from Major Arlene and Rivi. Existing maps have had weapon/item layout changes based off feedback along with balance changes to the new weapons. Due to the amount of maps, at this point we'll move onto releasing more frequent beta releases and hopefully more testing session. We still have some new maps that are currently 'work in progress' and anyone interested in submitting a map can reach out to us. Happy fragging.

this is a good xmas wad I didn't play it but I know because *deleted* made it that it is good

download it and play on the zandronum official community servers they are packed:

Hey I know you're trying to be funny but maybe don't bump a dormant thread for a bad joke?

But I think bump a dormant thread does not harm for almost dormant forum.

Dormant, but long overdue for an update. New version has some fixes to existing maps and 4 brand new maps making the grand total 19. Links to the files have been updated to their newest versions. The next release version will probably be an RC and will mark the beginning of the end of this project.

Love the purple and magenta textures.

Haven't seen a lot of that in a DM pack since SpaceDM.

Today marks the project going into RC1. It's a been a long and grinding road to this point but we're all happy with the current state of the project. It may not be as easy to create, playtest and fine tune as it was 10 years ago, but perseverance paid off and we're glad to release the 22 maps and hope everyone finds something they enjoy. Moving forward, any releases will either be a collection of minor fixes/edits or the final release. Links have been updated in the original post.

RC2 has been released which fixes a few bugs and makes some adjustments to items here and there. There's also a brand new map that was created from thin air. Links have been updated, happy fragging.

RC3 has been released which includes the final map of the pack, Trapped Under Ice (screen shot added to og post). Texture fixes and item changes are also included as well as the addition of some map improvements. Team starts were added just in case someone is feeling crazy and wants to run TLMS on the pack. With the final map completed and a lot of other things squared away, all that is left is QA and then the final release which should be around the corner. Links have been updated.

are you adding the uacmn santa class ?

After a long time of fine tuning and just going about our own pace, the final version of Freon has been released. The project was a fun adventure composed of both good times and hard times. We fulfilled the vision we originally had when starting the project and I'm far more than satisfied with how all the maps shaped up over time. The project is a little bittersweet because it's the last DM pack I intend on leading and most likely the last where I'll contribute as heavily as I did. Nonetheless the link has been updated in the original post. Happy Fragging.
