This is my most recent map and certainly my coolest to date. The only thing keeping me from releasing it is a name. It is a large map with big open areas (I hate maps with low ceilings and maze like layouts.) It has a castle courtyard feel to it. No splitscreen because of the size of the central area. Any help with the name would be appreciated.

Wow, you're aesthetic details are great. Looks like a fun map. It has a castley medieval feel to it. Maybe work with that for helping name it. Also with the big opening out into the canyon...can you exit there? I saw several spots in the courtyard area that I'm hoping you've got some good kill boundaries setup for.
I like Stronghold, but that sounds like something that's probably been used before. My first map I used to call Rampart. I really like that name, but I'm no longer using it if you want it. It has a Fort look to it as well. So something like Ft. Batt or Ft. Strong etc.
Thank you for the compliment. The hard part about naming it is everything has been taken. I will probably have to use more than one word. As for the big opening into the canyon, there is a soft kill zone followed by a hard one to keep you in the map. So no, you cannot exit there. As for all of the high spots in the courtyard, there are appropriate kill boundaries set up, so there shouldn't be any issues. [br][/br]Edited by merge: While Courtyard sounds good, I would prefer not to use it because it is already the name of a firefight map.
You're right, many things are taken, but you can use many of these words and add your own original name in front of them. For instance, Anthraxx Courtyard. You can use anything you like the sound of though, or you can relate it to the Halo universe somehow by digging around to find the names of regions, planets, and ships. I don't feel that a name like Battery is good enough because the weapon is really not the focal point of the map.
Fortification, Fortified, Regal, Imperius, Imposition, Memorandum (for the monuments scattered around)...yeah thats all that was on top of my head for now. EDIT-^ I like bastion too ^
What's goin' on buddeh? Havnt seen you post anything in a while. All I have to say is that those AA Guns are absolutely amazing. Very well thought out intricately made, great job. The courtyard part is also pretty amazing, but I don't see a point inthe Tin Cup's pole used as a waterfall(?) I'm guessing? But other than that, I can't wait for this to be released.
Bastion, Bulwark, Parapet, Castellum (latin for castle) etc. Use a thesaurus: Castle Synonyms, Castle Antonyms | Thesaurus.com
Thank you all for the great suggestions. Hopefully I'll post this map tonight. Although I will probably submit it for testing first. If not, definitely by tomorrow. [br][/br]Edited by merge: Yeah, I haven't posting anything because all of my maps were 99% done, but just not quite ready yet. I get really bored working on spawn points and kill zones, so I kept starting a new map before I would finish the old ones. I figured that once I was working on 4 maps at once I better suck it up and just finish a couple. The gun was actually made by my friend DiverseSystem. So, I can't take all of the credit. As for my use of the tin cups, I wanted to do fountains but they have been done alot recently. I tried to make them look different. Not sure if they came across as fountains or not though.
I'm getting a real Italian vibe from this map, It reminds me of some kind of papal courtyard in Rome. Sicilian maybe? Something Italian, though maybe not Tuscan, as that is the name of one of my maps. Looks very nice by the way, like re-fortified ruins. Actually, this looks a little like the scene at the start of Hellboy.
