Canteencrasher.png


Operation Canteen Crasher is a hybrid community Mann vs Machine event organized and hosted by Potato's Custom MvM Servers that was announced on April 9, 2018.

The Contest

The first part of the event is a contest that began on April 9, 2018, with guaranteed support until October 31, 2018. Before August 15, 2018, players could create maps, items, and MvM missions, and submit them to the judges for review. If the submission received enough votes from the judges, the submission will be added to the campaign. New submissions were no longer accepted after August 15th; however, re-submissions of existing entries were allowed past the August 15th deadline. Medal points will be credited to the authors of accepted submissions. There was no limit on the amount of submissions one could create for the event; however, pop files for missions were restricted to two per map, one intermediate mission and one advanced mission for each mission maker. Judgement on submissions will continue until the judges deem necessary, with no definite deadline at this time.

On September 4th, it was announced that the contest would be extended to include submissions for Halloween-themed maps, missions and items. These submissions followed the same judgement guidelines as non-Halloween submissions.

The Campaign

The second part of the event is the campaign, which launched in public beta on August 22nd, 2018. Just like with the contest, players can earn medal points, up to a maximum of 150, for completing missions and contracts.

Unlike Operation Titanium Tank, Operation Canteen Crasher offers both advanced and intermediate missions, instead of only advanced difficulty missions. This allows players who struggle with advanced missions to still have fun and experience the campaign.

Contracts

The campaign also features contracts for all nine classes, as well as an all-class section. The class contracts range from beginner to advanced in difficulty, with extra contracts based around specific weapons or actions for classes such as Soldier or Scout. The all-class contracts contain broader objectives that can be completed by any class, such as collecting credits or destroying tanks.

Upon completion, the player is awarded three medal points for a Basic class contract, four medal points for an Advanced class contract, and five medal points for an Expert class contract. Medal point values for the all-class and extra class-specific contracts vary between three to five points.

Approved Maps and Missions

This table shows the missions and maps currently in rotation in the Canteen Crasher campaign. Each mission awards the player a set amount of points upon completion. Note that this is not a complete list at this time, as more maps will be added to the campaign at a later date.

Rewards

During the event, six unlockable medals of different tiers are up for grabs. These medals are automatically granted once the player reaches the medal points threshold required for them. The medals are separate items, unlike campaign tokens; so it is possible to obtain all six at once; however, the Platinum Crit Canteen Medal cannot be obtained during the campaign phase of Canteen Crasher, as the campaign maxes out at 225 medal points. One could only obtain the Platinum Crit Canteen Medal by also submitting content that was accepted into the campaign.

Medal Points system

Medal Points can be gained from creating a map, mission, item or gameday testing.

Objective Property Points Comments
Map submission All maps +350 A map entry must have a functioning bsp file with a proper nav file, 2 pop files, and any needed bot icons for full credit
Item submission New Items
Pre-existing
+150
+40
Items created during the contest will receive 100 points.
Items created before the contest will earn 40 points.
Mission submission Advanced
Intermediate
+75
+60
These are missions that have passed judging that has been made for approved pre-existing community MvM maps.
Gameday testing Advanced
Intermeidate
+2

Play or watch every wave in a mission during beta testing and leave helpful feedback for participants (max 20 points)

Alternatively, another way to gain points is by playing during the Canteen Crasher campaign phase. The point system is shown below here:

Contest Objective Difficulty Points Comments
Completed contract Advanced
Intermediate

Turn in a finished MvM contract on wave complete. The medal point value depends on the contract.
Completed mission Advanced

(Same completion logic as the Titanium Tank Tour.)

Gameday testing Advanced
Intermediate
+2
+1
Play or watch every wave in a mission during beta testing and leave helpful feedback (max 20 points)

For map submissions, Canteen Crasher gives partial credit consolation medal points to maps that do not pass the judging based on how many passing votes the map earns by the deadline. The map entry must have a functional bsp file, nav file, and 2 pop files to be eligible for a partial credit, or it will receive no credit.

Votes Points Medal
2 +100 Silver
1 +50 Bronze
0 +20 Iron

Below is the list of rewards and points required for them.

Awardable Medals

There are six different medals that can be obtained by playing the Canteen Crasher community campaign event or participating in the Canteen Crasher contest.
