it's something I've always wanted to do and I figure we've got a lot of people here that could come together and make a good custom map.  Although I've never made one before I think we could probably develop something, summer might not have been the best time to start one but I thought I'd ask and maybe start some brain storming.

I know how to make them also and have one started but its not finished yet. I havent worked on it in a while. I should try to finish it.


The best maps have areas that can use all classes. You need a large open area, a few small areas, some chokepoints and multiple entrances. Also multiple exits from spawn is a plus to stop spawn camping.  :headbang1:

spawn campings ok its kinda fun at times multipul check points is good too and multipul ways around it but you still need choak points thats were alot of the killing takes place its got to be hard on both teams

an attack and defend map would good too those are always fun

even multipul teirs is nice too helps snipers out but leave ways for spys to get in

Maybe if we collaborate on something, we could put out something really good.

I figure with the experienced gamers we have here we can develop and test a good custom map.  All valid points, it needs to be enjoyable for all classes and well thought out.  Some thing to think about is should it be cp or ctf and could we make up an official development team should there be enough interest.
