Barney Attack - Dunkelschwamm

  

    These Barneys do not attack, even if they did they can not hurt players. This is an old map back when Sven Co-op worked differently and Barneys could hurt the player, so the main gimmick of this map can no longer be realized.

    Barney Attack is a map with a bunch of Barneys in it, and as one can only expect, they sure do attack. The ground is a grate, around you are crates, ammo among the freight, Barneys throwing hate. Retaliate, or don't. Barneys can't damage players anymore because Sven Co-op updates often carelessly break balancing in existing maps apparently. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    The players have a bunch of weapons. Snarks don't do shit, but grenades'll clear the Barneys out. There's a platform, a drop into a bottomless pit. It's pretty nondescript.

    Edit: There's also an invisible platform beneath the map you can reach by falling into the pit, wherein you can retrieve a crossbow and get teleported back to spawn. It doesn't make much of a difference.

    I had fun for as long as it takes to throw a banana grenade. After that I was a bit curious, a bit disappointed, then rather bored. If that's the experience you're looking for, give this a try.

Pros:

• The name sure is accurate
• Lots of weapons
• Crossbow thing under the map adds some kind of fun thing to do in the map

Cons:

• The map is basically broken now since the main attraction of it is neutered by inability to harm the players
• You just spawn in a room full of Barneys. Even if this map worked as intended it's just players and Barneys spawnkilling each other in a cube.
