cargo

After some playing my opinion is that best maps are flat, low above bedrock with water here and there, and symmetrical. So heres my dreamed map:

red circles: 5-10 ground height, optionally some soviet-like buildings and few trees

orange circles: 0-5 ground height, 50/50 swampy water and small islands, optionally bunker or small tower here and there and some trees

outside circles: mostly water

optionally single bridge in the middle of map from one base to another, 6 wide (4 road + 2 one-block-high-barriers), 2 thick(+barrier), with two 2x2 columns every 15 blocks

I love the idea of towers and bridges...

I've been messing around with the editor a bit, it's not very easy to use but it's fun.

D-DAY MAP IS UP GO CHECK IT OUT

Would someone consider making a map of a real battles of WWII or WWI? I mean like Battle of the Westerplatte, Normandy invasion, Stalingrad, Battle of Ypres or Battle of Tannenberg. Those would be great and I'd return to server with such map very often.

A D-day map.

@BoL we are just discussing map ideas not mods here :O though that does sound pretty epic

I've been playing around in my head with the idea of a Western-themed map. Canyons and cacti. Cowboys (with ten-gallon hats) instead of soldiers. A Winchester repeating rifle or maybe a six-shooter (ten-shooter?). A bank bag of money instead of the intel briefcase. You could keep the medical tent. Maybe throw in an Alamo or two. Was playing on a Desert Warfare server that looked like someone had used cavegen with and it certainly fit the theme well-enough. I'd suggest cowboys versus indians but it doesn't really work with the way the player models are set up currently.

But I honestly don't know if I have the time to really do it justice so if someone wants to take my idea and run with it then, by all means, be my guest.

im better than some people and worse than others, but im good enough to get the job done, plus i have my own server that i use for testing purposes when its empty

A plain. completely flattened. Tunnelers and Trench-diggers rejoice!

@alex are you relatively good with the editor? what map are you working on atm?

once i finish the map im workin on for myself, i will start crackin on these, startin with the cargo ship

Make the complex bin laden was hiding in!

A maze...
DEAD END? HOW ABOUT YOU DIG THROUGH IT.

I want to see a city of bridges, very high up, water at the base of the towers, bridges of different heights connect to towers of different heights etc

Two islands with a bridge in the middle

Give me a map were you jump out of an exploding helicopter and free fall down onto a falling car, you open the door and start it up and it transforms into a fighter jet, and as you do a roll you see all the enemy's are raptor bears and they shoot laser missles at you. Make that and i will give you all of my money!

hey guys i might have a solutioi to the desert map i am currently hosting a EPIC deset map with caverns and such on my server US West Custom Map Desert Fox i did not make it or modify it in any way Triplefox made it and he was willing to let me host it go check it out its AWESOME

ya urban warfare would be fun and trenches

Blood Gulch

I would want to see a WW1 trench warface style map where both teams have a well dug out trench system for themselves from the start. the map would be more or less "flat", with hills rather than "mountains", so digging deep wont be the way to go.

The map would basicly force the player to dig trenches for protection, in order to get cover.
No mans land could be covered with impact craters, a few trees and a river, to make it look like a dirty swamp.

At a certain point in the map there might be a little village that would turn trench warfare into a close quarters battlescene.

But thats just my idea.

Why not just have both teams spawn on opposite sides of the ship like in the Wet Work map from COD4?

Anyway, I'd really like to see a snowy/tundra type map and one taking place on rooftops. Would also like to see a post-Soviet Bloc era-type map or a jungle.

Something deserty with a canyon or a river in the middle. Cacti and villages on either side. A Cargoship would be f'ing boss though.

I wish maps could be smaller. Right now, they are a little too big for some things.

Nice ideas.

Personally I would like to see some colorful escher style weird escalator map. Later, if possible, with gravity shifts and infinite loopholes.

I'm not kidding.

What maps do you guys think some of the map editors out there should create?

Here's what I think:
-CARGO TAKEOVER - A map that is pretty much covered in water but has a large cargo ship in the middle. There is a coast on each side of the map where the blue + green bases are situated (so they each have their own small coast) and both have bridges that lead to the cargo ship.
-LAVA FLOW - A map with a large volcano in the middle. There are orange blocks to simulate lava inside of it and running down it. At the crater of the volcano are sniper towers. Around the actual volcano are trees.
-SPADE CITY - A map that is essentially a big city. There are skyscrapers (with sniping areas on top) and a park area (think Central Park) in the direct middle of the map where it is essentially flat, aside from a few trees and small hills.

I think these would be a bit hard to create but, if made, they would be awesome. What do you guys think?
