Official Map Ideas Thread

I decided to make this thread instead of continue things on the PS_Icebreaker thread so it could have a proper thread title.

To kickthings off, I'll leave you with this beauty that hit me like a flashbang follwed by a Naotage.

TC_Diehard

it would be an outdoors downtown map. Night setting. Snowy. The single TC point would be a massive Christmas Tree like some Times Square thing. If the mapper knew what the were doing, it could be filled with all kinds of Christmas decorations and displays along with really cool really pretty self illuminating Christmas light textures and colorful lighting.

menkey that just gave me an idea. now i feel like making a map out of Pioneer Square in downtown Portland, Oregon. i could easily get all the pics to make into textures, but i don't know how to make them into models. if i get the pictures some of the things at the square could be used as good FA:S assets.

Edit: this is an overhead picture that someone took while there were flowers in the square to look like fish:

Better place in NY rather than Times Square would be the Rockerfella Center where the NY Christmas tree gets planted. There's even a skating rink that you could put a nice slippery surface on.

lots of potential for a good optimized map. if the inside of the area is good enough that could be a really good TC map.

During the summer, Rockefeller Center has a bunch of tables and stuff for people to hang out and eat. It would make an awesome combat arena because if all the light cover.

Setting, "downtown." Should be able to create an awesome 3D-skybox. Map would be a series of "sky scrapers" attached by breezeways high above the ground. 5 capture points would be roof of building A, level/floor inside building A, level/floor inside building B, level/floor inside building C and finally the ground/entrance level of building A. Depending on how you organize the buildings, you could even have outdoor patio smoke break areas to allow for cross building sniper action.

Some sort of rainforest map would be nice.

A Pillow Fort map, where the carpet is lava, and you have to fight through several pillow forts. There also should be a ball pit moat.

See reference images.

I always wondered what the old WWI trenches looked like today...

Spoiler:

I think that would be sick, the old trenches from WWI with grass grown inside them, new trees in the area etc..

The Setting: Beautiful ocean town quiet and peaceful. Now the scene of an all out war.

The Plot: A car full of cash has been abandoned in the lot. Control that area and all others to help your team extract it safely(full cap).

Description: Each team starts in the apartments, there is a condo on each side that is closest to the lot these are "God Spawns". My plan here is to have 3 routes and 3 levels of battle.

Key: Purple is top level. Brown is ground level. Yellow is below ground.

I can get into more detail and do a way better layout, this is just something I did when i was bored.
