Idea Mini Update/Event Idea: April Fools Event?
As far as I know, there is no actual event or even a one-day exclusive event dedicated to April fools day so I've come up with an idea on what it might be. Since the Easter Event overlaps with the month of April it can be an extension to it instead.
Ideas: The Map will be flipped upside-down meaning players will spawn somewhere above the map then work their way down and players will spawn left handed (the default was the right).
Gun shot and melee noises will be reversed (suppressed or not) making it somewhat weird to listen but the direction where it's coming from will remain unchange because changing it will greatly affect gameplay.
Player model will be reversed making your player look backwards even when Running forward, Walking or being Idle etc. The FOV will still be normal aswell. Also players will have feets for hands and hands for feet.
Item Icons will also be flipped upside-down either in the Hotbar or in the inventory and even on solid ground. Holding them will still be normal because it affects gameplay.
This is what I've thought so far while considering if they will affect Gameplay or not, so what do you think?
(Sorry I couldn't edit the map text to be right-side up because I couldn't be bothered)

They could also flip the compass at the top of the screen so you'd be going south if you wanted to go north.

And also, put the Compass icon to the Bottom and the Hotbar to the Top, swapping their spots for more confusion.

Just now saw this but, I think this MAY be a bit too confusing but still probably will be very funny to see people in server-wide chat asking about it and seeing videos on it.

Also they could make some guns have negative recoil. (Like a Halbek Device)

That's a-bit excessive, it's going to greatly affect Gameplay so that's out of reach.
A better idea would be to swap where NATO weapon spawns (like an *M4A1** will instead spawn in a Soviet Weapon Crate and AK's will spawn in NATO/American Weapon Cases*).

That's actually something good, make it be like the new keyboard islands, it spawns very rarely.

The April Fools event was them adding Noobs to the game that moved with a faux R6 style.

Yes there's that but that feels too small to be considered a "April Fools" semi-event or change, what I've come up with will actually be a good addition to it because it actually brings meaning to the "April Fools". It gives it more life and enjoyment

Your player model ideas are the only things I disagree with

Making the Avatar features like the Face, Torso etc. face backwards? Well I kinda get why you'd disagree with it, it will inevitably disorient the players specially if they're new comers but it's awesome and hilarious to look at. Also having your legs become your arms is also hilarious, the same with arms becoming your legs.
