Reading through ExplosiveDeer's map progress (http://www.snipezilla.com/threads/mountain-side-concept.106/#post-1449), it's given me a cool map idea. Of course, I have no idea how to use the programs nor the time anymore. But here's what I got down..
Concept:
I used to play Star Wars: Battlefront II, and there was a map from the planet Endor, which is home to the Ewok (small furry teddy bears with spears). Endor was a forest-infested planet, with trees reaching the heights of tall buildings. It was probably one of the most enjoyable maps in the game for me. And, having played nearly every sniper map in TF2 over the past few years, I've never come across a map which is large-scaled and is placed within a forest. Just imagine the level of complication and movement styles you could build up, strafing from tree to tree or hiding behind rocks. You would also have to play with a much higher level of awareness and capability to shoot through obstacles. You could even add a bunker at the end for each team, and have secret WWI/II tunnels sprouting from them, as to allow you passage from more than one exit.
In terms of size, I was thinking the same as the sniper_farm (or larger). Could have a river running through the map as well, but not a deep one. Because it would be cool if players could utilize the whole map, just not enter the bunker in any way. Thus why I mentioned tunnels before, as to prevent mass spawncamping (as seen on some Orange maps).
Here's something I quickly made via paint (yes, I know, my design skills are incredible..):
I feel the concept would make it feel much more like a battlefield, but still sniping. Feel free to share thoughts and ideas. Maybe I can try learning the programs necessary when I get back =p
This is just incase somebody is bored and wants an idea or this thread throws some sparks, as I won't be able to do much about it for a while. =p
