Apologies in advance if this ain't appropriate.

Last night I was playing on a truly epic build server and, amazingly, we managed to mostly defend our work against the tide of swinish griefers. We built a number of skyscrapers and watchtowers, plus some great bridges, and then interconnected them with skyways. The result looked pretty cool, and the skyways helped to protect the structures.

This all seemed too good to just vanish, so I kept hitting the Save Map button. I've thought for awhile that AoS really needed more city maps (Urban Warfare is _awesome_, but I don't see it hosted very often) so here's my weak attempt to remedy that situation. It's not really a finished custom map, just a regular generated map with some sweet buildings on it, but I'm hoping someone will like it.

Just to be clear, this map was made by a couple dozen people, only a small fraction is my work. If anyone who was there doesn't want their work posted, reply and I'll take this down.

One of the players took a video tour so you can get a sense of what this map is like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4K5aBt9LlI

Many thanks to my fellow builders, the server admin and the dev.

Hi Everybody, I just finished my latest map. It is called:

{Drum Roll}

Metropolis

This map is centered around urban gameplay with a lot of highrises (around about 80 buildings in total). The map also features a large sort of shopping center in the center, two white house (presidents residense) style buildings for each team, a suspension bridge and much much more.

Now for some pics:

In regards to Griefers, most skyscrapers have 2-3 thick walls on all corners, oh and they aren't nescessary for gameplay. I believe a griefer would be far more successful at trolling if they simply hide in the skyscrapers and snipe. Now that would be far more frustrating, hidden snipers.

Seriously, one mong spending 20+ minutes per building + 80 buildings = Troll got Trolled

Has the original skins and 9 new guns. And two new grenades. This one took me awhile to make.

- Arisaka
- Bren (and camo verison)
- DP-28
- M1 Garand
- Mauser
- MP-40
- PPSH-41
- PTRS-41
- And The Epic New Awesome Supreme Secret gun

Also includes;

- New .kv6 files for everything (except for the tracer)
- German player skin (difficult to tell which team compared to other skins)
- .wav files supplied by Voodoo and Coma
- Bonus track

PLEASE NOTE: This is the prototype build. It has a lot of problems(repetitive buildings, unfinished areas, few/no landmarks, poor aesthetics) which mostly come down to me wanting to see some playtesting time before I commit to the 20+ hours it would take to make a super-refined version of the map.

ALSO(Server Operator's Note): Because there's so much detail in the map it's considerably larger than most AoS maps(over 4mb in this build, vs. 2mb for vanilla maps). Watch out!

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?
