ok imagine this in your brain, a train at a bombed out train station, with a train about 15 carts long, 5 carts are allied spawns, with doors that open eather side, with a hatch below, in the center of the train, are 3 large train artilery carrages. thsee are the alied bazooka objectives, axis spawn inside the train, and have to defend it, ofcourse there will be open areas and a difficult task for the allieds to get to the train.

perhaps one side of the map is a trainway tunnel that goes under a hill, with a sewer system, that allies can go, and the other direction rockey roads and other types of terrains, like a trainway bridge.

anyway thats my idea :P enlighten me if it sounds good


*BTW im not a mapper, just giving some interesting ideas that someone could possibly use"

Theres already a "Map Ideas Thread" in this section, Try posting this in there. :)

But im guessing no1 hardly ever reads that section anymore. :(
Anyways, this is very interesting.

thanks :) r u a mapper ?

btw it would be cool if axis could

A. cross the bridge ( sand bags along sides / footpath of bridge? aswell as an below deck level
B. scale the bridge via ladder
C. take route underground sewers.

ofcourse the sewers would connect to the sewers under the train tunnel aswell, maybe have axs via a storm water drain in the tunnel :) and a lookout on top of the hill above tunnel :) soo many ideas!

*yet to thought of an axis spawn point* maybe the maps like a love heart to a sence? <3 the 3 being the bridge and tunnel with the train in center

and the < being the path axis take to get there :P

Iam anything besides a mapper. ;) For DOD atleast.....:p

know any mappers i could msg with my idea?

irc channels ect ect that i might find emm?

If you need a mapper, look into the Mappers database ;)

O_o LiNk! please :)

One of the stickied threads in the forum, it has big read letters in front, you can't miss it. :D

trust me, if anything can go wrong... it will... chances are i wont see it :) but i will try... .... just for u

Im a mapper, but too busy with other projects and exams, you'll find most mappers are busy with other things, but most ppl who post in the mapping forum (thats this one) are mappers.

interesting, so what do u think of the idea?

I think the allied spawn sounds like spawn-camping galore! That is unless you set out some spawn camp protection ramp thing, possibly with the train station?

Also, it sounds rather like the Allies and Axis spawn exactly next to each other = deathmatch.

One of the problems with a railway station would be that it kills the r_speeds of most computers - since railway stations are big beastehs. Unless something like a carriage was sprawling across both station ends!

Sunshine: Give me a drawn out layout plan, and get me some train textures and I'll give this a shot.

Maybe u could work something out with this guy?

hmm... i can probly supply a drawn overmap to some extent. although i cant supply textures :) its just an idea atm :)

not all that to scale or overly well thought out... it wont be bazooka destructable trains, they would be satche / dynamite.

and there would be an underground tunnel system aswell that pops up under the rocky cave

Please use the map ideas thread.

I'm not completely fussed that you have posted this as an individual thread due to the forums activity, but please keep it in mind for the future!!!

that avatar is disturbing el capitan :eek:
