Hey guys I'm trying to think of a map idea but not too sure on what yet. I've made a few and they have seemed to work out fine, but now i have a few ideas and want you to tell me what you think is best. -A map on the side of a cliff -A map inside the big hanger -A map on the small island (pinnacle island) -A map floating in air All are suggestions for slayer/swat gametypes. Thank you for your time *Also will post results of finished map
It doesnt sound much as map ideas, just different locations to build it on. you should try to come up with a theme or a special structure and then decide a location that fits the idea best.
Agreed. A map idea begins with (in my case) a shape. Like a square, circle or triangle. Maybe even a letter like X or W. In the end these ideas are for getting an idea of what you want to do. Then (This is my process) you find yourself a peice of paper and draw it down, then find ways to make it more interesting like adding multiple layers or separating parts of the object. Thats when you have your design. Then you just draw where you think things might go. From there I go to forge and the map itself is never the same as the design, but it gives me a reference. After you have your design is when you find your location. Hope my process has helped, even a little.
why not make them all? OT: make a start on all of them, even if its only 10 minutes on each, then see which one you like best
Anyone who has a good map idea is unlikely to post it for somebody else. As stated above, your 'ideas' are simply locations to build. Totally agree with what audienceofone says about good ideas being based on a shape or whatever. My BTB map hogs den is based on a figure 8 warthog circuit with buildings on the inside of the 8.
Ok^ Sorry about the title, i misunderstood. But thanks, i will take everyones suggestions and hopefully come up with a good map
