I would love to see a map that has had some massive destruction done to it. A map where you find some buildings still intact and others no longer there. What my imagining of the map would look like? Well it would be a city map that has a HUGE crater of destruction in its middle. The closer to the center the less there is with a decent size of the center not having anything in it. The closer to the edge of the map you may find intact buildings. The sky would be grayed with some ash or snow falling to represent the fallout from the bomb being dropped on the city. Some lighting strikes of red lightning (don't know why I just think it would look cool) across the sky.

The players would have there drop zones on the outer edge where there maybe is a landing zone for each for a leopard or they are lifted from the aftermath from underground hanger. The streets and outskirts of the bombing would be filled with buildings and as you close to the center you see more and more buildings partially there or complete piles of rubble.

Whats you thoughts on the map idea? It would have the customary center that funnels everyone to but since there wouldn't be cover it would possibly force longer range matches. Every weapon would be useful because you would have close engagements along the edges of the map to the long range in the center. There would be cover for those who peek and there would be streets/open areas for brawling as well. Sorry I am not an artist so no pictures (unless you wanted bad stick figures).

Sounds good, but there won't be any more maps made for this game.

[LordNothing]

its time to let the community make their own damn maps.

If only there was an option in the private lobby to import maps to try out.........

so maps with more crap to trip over?

[Vellron2005]

Oh bless him.. poor little guy.. he thinks there will be new developments made to this game..

On a more on-topic note, maps with "cover around the edges, with a open center" suck.. nobody ever goes to the edges, everyone just go center or nascar, so you would end up with a boring sniper-fest..

You need cover everywhere...

Example of how not to do it: Rubbelite Oasis
Example of how to do it: Grim Plexus

[Prototelis]

Uhm, Rubellite is awesome lol.

[LordNothing]

rubellite is good for its use of z space. so many maps feel two dimensional. the map is fugly though as its just a rehash of existing tile sets.

You got ESP or something? It sounds like Dead City map on War Robots.

[Nesutizale]

A map editor and the option to play with costum build maps in private matches would have been good for the game.
PGI could have watched the maps, see what gets played most, get ideas or take a map they like and make an official one.

I am pretty sure that we would have seen lots of new maps over the years if given the option.

[ocular tb]

And at this point in the game I don't see why they shouldn't allow community-created maps. Whats the worst that could happen? If anything it might get some people to want to play again.

Of course that's not going to happen either unfortunately.

[Prototelis]

They can't properly QC their own game; what makes you think they're going to properly QC user made maps?

[Nesutizale]

Most likely bad maps wouldn't be played often so they would sort themself out.
Damn they could go the counterstrike route with private servers and maps and keep official maps on their own servers so that everyone that is not playing on PGI servers knows the risk they take. Like bad maps, cheaters and so on but that didn't hurt CS in the long run. Its still out there, beeing played after how many years?

[Prototelis]

CS has rather robust and intrusive anti-cheat measures.

they are not, thats the beauty of it. the players will decide what maps are trash and which are good. just like every other arena shooter with more maps than players.

[Dee Eight]

I would settle for slowly floating advertising blimps or tethered barrage balloons around the existing city maps.

id love private servers. but that would pretty much require handing over the keys to the game to the community, and i have a feeling pgi isnt done milking us.

Not just stuff but completely new areas of the maps we dont even use. Change the spawn points. Add in models blocking roads. Add in drop ships, mountains, fallen skyscraper...... They could do all type of stuff with the maps they already have.

You could make hundred maps just out of alpine if you added resources to it. Its what modders have been doing for 20 years.
