    First Map
    Map Style: Infection
    Map Name Preferences: Sounds like Tarintino film(IE Planet Horror or Death Proof)
    Map Quality Named After: Terror or Zombies
    Map Name Meaning:
    Map Description: 8 Different houses are in the level to barricade yourself off from the zombies.

    2nd Map
    Map Style: Infection with an Objective
    Map Name Preferences: Something like a scientific org. (IE Umbrella Corp.)
    Map Quality Named After:
    Map Name Meaning:
    Map Description:The first ever Infection map with an actual objective! The point of the game is to get one incineration kill. To do this, you have to make your way across a level from safe room to safe room (which contain ammo) to the end where theres a stockpile of flame weapons.

    Hey Scope,

    I want a two word name for my map. Preferably, both words having to do with the use of brain and being quick. The map is meant to be MLG. Hope to see what you come up with.

    Map Name Meaning:
    Map Description: 5-base MLG and competitive map with many curves and a large hill/tunnel system in the middle.

    Map Style: Competitive 1v1/2v2
    Map Name Preferences:
    Map Quality Named After: Circular
    Map Name Meaning:
    Map Description: Can't really say much, but large cylinder in the middle of the map. There is also a spectator box. MLG-inspired.

    I have one: Deft Punk
    It's a parody on Daft Punk, as well as relating to being nimble and skilled because of its usage of the word deft. (Deft - dexterous; nimble; skillful; clever)




    Suggestions:
    • Proscenium (the arch that separates a stage from the auditorium)
    • Tympanum (the recessed, usually triangular space enclosed between the horizontal and sloping cornices of a pediment, often decorated with sculpture.
      a similar space between an arch and the horizontal head of a door or window below.)
    • Trellis ( a frame or structure of latticework; lattice.)

    Basically just find what out how your map is unique from the other ones and find one word that you can describe your map in.

    Then look up what that word means in latin.

    Dont name your map claustrophobia lol

    This is why you fill out the name preference part. Do you want a name that is long and unique like the map "Xyience"?

    Post finished.

    And, myshotsakill, when you're asking other people for ideas, and they're nice enough to give them to you, you shouldn't shoot down the ideas I had for a completely different map.

    And for the science company,

    Plasmic Inc.
    Plasmic Co.
    Proton and Co.
    DEXTER'S LABORATORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
