I've this amazing idea for a map, but I'm just not good enough to make it... I thought maybe I could find some great forgers on this wonderful website to help me out a little. The idea comes from the story "Ted The Caver" If anyone has read it. You start by dropping into a cave through a long tunnel heading downward. Then there are two paths to take, left or right. Left would lead to weapons after a long walk, and the right path would lead to a very tight crawling space, decently long, about the size of four crates long. After the tight crawling space, your in another tunnel, which leads straight, then a sharp turn to the left. You hear panting, and heavy footsteps approaching from behind. You ignore the sound, and push on forward. You come into a wide opening, with a rock on the right wall with strange heiroglyphics upon it. You see another small path behind the rock. Luckily, you brought your trusty grav lift (in the left path at the beginning), and you move the rock aside, and go into the tunnel. Eventually the grav lift breaks, and you are trapped. The footsteps are louder, closer, heavier. You hear deep breathing, coming straight ahead of you. Fear grips your body, making you to scared to move. A twinkle in the corner of your eye. THE BEAST ATTACKS! That's the plot for the map. It will be an infection based map, where the cavers will attempt to get inside the cave, past the beast, and into the room of treasures. I really like the idea, but am incapable of making a map to depict how I want it. If anyone would like to have a part in this map contact me via XBL, my gamertag is NOMmonster. I am on quite frequently, and will reply A.S.A.P. Thanks to everyone in advance!
Just some tips for you, since I'm gonna be kinda busy to help. The begining will have to be high up, so either float walls or use sideways boxes at the far corner of foundry. The tunnel you make going down can be some open boxes. To make them at an angle, you place one end of the box at the top of where you start, and the other end on another box that will be lower down. While having the tunnel split could be hard, you can just have two teleporters, one to the weapons, another to the crawl space. To force people to crouch in your crawlspace, you can place a bunch of barriers on the ground as supports, and place walls, boxes, etc on top of them as a roof. The barriers are just high enough that you can go in between, but only if you crouch. If you want to usea dumpster as a boulder, then go on ahead, but laying down a grav lift will not work as well, since you need to place it underneath the dumpster, which will not work. What you can do instead is have a power up (custom, overshield, etc) placed underneath a dumpster. The dumpster will be closed off on its sides by walls or something, except by the bottom, which will have the power up holding it up. Grabbing the power up will cause it to disappear, making the dumpster fall behind as you keep walking. Then you can throw grenades at a crate that will unblock a teleporter that will allow your other humans into your cave. Good luck with your map and I hope what I said will help
