Well I'm not suggesting anyone to play Doom 3. An idea just came through my mind as I was playing the game.

Some of you may say "Why don't you play Doom 3 instead?" but that's obviously a wrong answer.

My suggestion for maps are one's that are dark, ominous, cold-as-steel, and fairly unique in architecture.

The elements I just want to see in at least one map is not the Doomish feel but the "Wow, what the heck happened here?" feel. Maps that appear dark, lonely, half-dismantled, and bleak.

Some straight things I could suggest are:
-lots of flickering and broken lights
-many dark spots
-poor lighting (colorful still)
-solid metal textures
-additional geometry decorations like sealed hallways and metal tiles coming off the floor or even maybe a whole bunch of large mutated evil blood vessels on the walls or floors
-dark colored fog. Yeah! That's the ticket! The fog!

Look, someone could be impressed if someone uses these map elements.

Well 1 problem is when you make a multiplayer map people don't want to be fumbling around in the dark. Completely ruins the gameplay, even if it does have good atmosphere.

... also, yes you ARE wanting doom-ish maps, because besides that DM-Chimera, DM-Imago, DM-Timecrash and others DO offer that "what the sh1t happened to my room while i wen't kitchen?" -type of setting... i support your idea though. I wan't scary maps. Good ones. (not necessarily dark all around)(or red-lit :p )...
