    No offense, but it seems like you just ripped off The Hollow.

    Anyway, it's very good, even though caves are becoming cliched.

    Let's be honest...practically every map has already been done. It's just a matter of doing it better than the others or adding an original twist that makes different maps exciting. If it's the same as Hollow...sure, nothing special. If you've added some originality to it, then maybe there's a good reason to look into it.

    the hollow was the inspiration but this map is like 5 times the size of that one. it basically wraps around 3/4 of the crypt floor. Also there are bunches and bunches of hiding spots that are only accessible via jumping.

    Yea, instead of making one big cave, i suggest somewhere around the middle you add some kind of centerpiece to make this map stand out from the others.

    I think a cave would be cool if it had like a mine shaft with like mongees on tracks or something. I doubt its possible to make tracks, though, because it would've already happened.

    Eyeless Sid has a Conquest map in progess exactly like that. But i think he is looking for someone to finish it for him. You should send him a PM if you are interested..

    I've heard good things about this map, Cap'n

    Ahh I've seen like seven cave maps in like two days.. Anyway I've yet to play on one, so maybe after a few are done I'll get a chance to test out this new idea.

    Well i like the idea of a center piece but i have a competitive cave map in idea that is based around a nice huge central structure/cave. This one is just for the infection contest, but trust me iv already played the other cave maps and mine is nothing like theirs.

    I have neither the patience nor the skill to forge a successful map. I might check it out, though.

    You should, their fun. I played two infection maps like this and I had a good time.
