Map ideas?

Post by bighoss »

I'm currently working on three different maps. One is Sp which has nothing to do with this post. The other two are obj, and tdm/dm maps. I'm kinda stumped with ideas of what type of map I should make. I'm not sure if I should create bombed maps or maps that havent been touched. Also ideas of what kind of buildings or houses would be helpful.

A noisy factory floor with lots of animated, evil, life-threatening machines?
Make it an ammunitions factory to be less anacronistic :)

yes, the factory is a good idea. Like Red October factory in Stalingrad.
Lots of T34 (t34 chassis and t34 turret), animated conveyer belt, and.. and some KV 1 heavy tank... hmm.. i think it wasn't in MOH:AA. :)

ok, you 're right.
But, that's an island, therefore has natural border (sea)..
so, i think, it isn't too complicated stuff..

Crash Site - A large outdoors map with a crashed 747 or other big big jet (make it so you can go in it to!). Many outdoor caves and such... I actually created a map just like this, but my computer..um.. was destroyed and everything was lost :cry: . An idea ill pass onto whoever though :P

Try and think of games that you have played before on console or something... For instance 007 Goldeneye or Perfect dark. I played both those games 100% and just thinking of those games sparks many ideas...
-Frigate - large boat, 1 team tries to blow up, 1 team... defends!
-Cradle - Uh, hard to explain, but if you played the game, u'll know what i mean, the level would be like an arena type of map, i guess.
-Skyscaper - Large multi-leveled skyscraper.
-Dam - A large dam with uh.. ya. I think there is already a lvl like this though, cant remember.
-Air Force 1
-Area 51 type of map

other ideas would be Thinking of things you saw in movies. Areas that you've seen in the movies Saving Private Ryan, We Were Soldiers, Windtalkers, or any other of the many WWII movies.
Non WWII movies... Maybe LOTR? Lots of Architectural buildings in that.
Matrix?
League of Extraordinary Men?
James Bond?
Star Wars - ewok Village, any of the many bases, worlds, etc... Broad catagory here!
Star Trek - :P Beam me up Scottie!
Heh, i dont really like the 'space' idea though...

I could go on forever :P , but here are some starters for you ;)

I was wondering if anyone knew of an obj map out there where the allies need to break pow's out of a camp. I was just thinkin of this cause of cheetohs mention of movies. Hart's War inspired this idea. The obj would be for the allies to rescue the pow's and steal documents. Ok well anyway keep the thread goin everyone. Love the responses I'm gettin.

Doesnt the map 'Rust in Piece' have the rescue the medics OBJ? Im pretty sure thats the map. Here is the link for that, see if the 'rescue' part of the map is what you are looking for.
