Heres a look at some sketches for my upcoming map which currently has no name

The 1st Image is very early and missing some details I've added/changed but, it gives a general idea of the layout.

Any Ideas on things i could add or change to make it better also a name would be fantastic.

It looks sweet. The only issue that I saw is that it loooked like there was only one path to the radar station at the top of the bunker. If that's true, the Axis can easily camp along that route and kill the Allies.

I like to have multiple paths leading to the objectives in my maps because it makes the structure of the game less predictable and forces the defending team to actually patrol the level.

Yeah that is true so maybe ill have access to the bunker from the sewers also but make the initial room the attackers go into harder to defend.

overall i think it looks kinda cool actually. i like the idea. axion has a good point. only thing is, dont overdue that. a room can only have so many entrances (keep that in mind)

Yeah, I totally agree. Two entrances or paths to the radar will be fine. Three might be a little too much, because you want to keep a balance for both teams.

Keep updating this as you progress on the map. I would really love to check it out when you're finished.
:D

Yeah, it looks like you have plenty of room. You could also just have a ladder on the exterior of the bunker that goes up there. There are tons of possibilities...
