I'm in the process of making a map (CTF-AquaLand). It's my first fortay into the mapping biz, and everything's going well so far.. I'm putting extra effort into it in the hopes it'll come out looking at least somewhat professional, and maybe even enjoyable
Anyways, the idea has it that Red's base is located underwater. Blue's base is located a significant distance above, perched on a beachhead just above water. The two are connected via a long elevator system, but rebreathers will also be available (along with accessable entrances) if one wants to swim.
Now, I've really reached a block as far as Blue's base should go. The best I can come up with is.. well, a bunch of boxes connected by other boxes. Horrendous, I want something that stands out a bit more, but I can't think of anything. I've gone through a few other CTF maps, but the inspiration just isn't coming..... any tips at all guys?
I should mention that Blue's base will have two primarily accessable entrances.. one is, of course, the elevator system (there will be two elevators, one dedicated for each team to keep it fair), the second is an entrance on the beachhead which you can enter just by waltzing up some stairs.. presuming you can make it past the guys on defense
Any advice is appreciated.. thanks! And yes, I've read through both the forums and tutorials extensively, any info I can find I grubblingly absorb instantly. I'm just seeing if anyone else has any insane ideas here.
