CF new map! please check it out CF team!

ignDCS · November 2009

Good map concept, with a couple of possibilities for improvement.

The main concern is that as a general rule, a sniper position should NEVER be given a commanding over-watch of the entire map. A pro-sniper would thus dominate the match, preventing all but the most perfectly coordinated counter-attacks from over taking his position. Thus, the recommendation to add obstacles would be best implemented by limiting the sniper positions to only cover an area something less than half the map.

I agree with a previous concern that the sketch makes the entire map appear small. Developers will need to see some actual dimensions to design and implement.

I would propose that unless you want this map to be considered only a sniper-friendly map, I would add areas in the center through which to navigate which would favor sprayers. Balance some of the wide-open sniper fields of fire with some close quarters sections - again, maybe through obstacles or structures like buildings.

Good start and decent model for others to follow in proposing other future maps. GJ.

It looks alright, but as mentioned needs more obstacles to allow for sprayers and to stop snipers from causing a total domination of the map.

Nice

Nice Map

I want to play it

eeeeeeeeeev · November 2009

you worked hard on it, i hope they see it.

PS: What program did you use?

ignDCS · November 2009

Wow - what a difference. Love the CAD system you're using, and great touch video'ing the panning, rotation and zoom as you maneuver about the layout. Now I have a much better feel for what you're trying to create.

More advice:

Love the second level cat-walk in the center. I hope you can jump over the railing to the level below, or even onto the roof of the center building...
You have two large boxes (like cargo containers from the Ship map) - it would be great to have them open on the short end that faces the interior of the map so that players can go inside...
To make it easier for the developers, it would be a nice touch to color/shade the tops of the boxes which are low enough to jump upon, with the assumption that everything else that is not that color or shade is too high...
To make that upper deck a little more accessible, it might be interesting to add a stack of boxes against the outside wall, adjacent to the large side door on each side of the map. An adept jumper could quickly climb those boxes to get up to the deck...
I'd consider adding a set of boxes in the far left corner of each spawn area, that could be jumped upon to get a view over that wall into the long corridor that runs down the outside sides of the map...
Might add a window or two mid-way up the stairwells, facing into the map - maybe covered with chain-link to prevent passing through...
Maybe put a big, box-like air vent on each side of the center building roof. You probably can't go into it, but you could use it as cover for firing into the opponent's side.

Then, I think you're ready to think about more details. If this is a prison, then I would add:

Bars across some of those long windows at each spawn site
Spot light posts at intervals along the railing of the upper deck
Barbed wire and/or concertina at the top edge of any outer walls
Put another obstacle on each side that is a short chain-link fence. You can't pass through, but you can shot through
Make many of the doors into permanently open, or partially open jail cell doors
Large block numbers/letters painted on several walls to officially identify the different sections of the jail area

That's all I got for now. But good job - keep it going!

banonobno · November 2009

Cool! Hope it becomes a map!!!

CF map sketch file!

hey it's me again, here's the sketch file for those who wants to edit my sketch.

http://www.mediafire.com/?gkowwlkljzg

download the file, extract and open it with google sketchup.

if anyone have good ideas add them to the sketch but try to keep the original map sketch, add new structures, obstacles or whatever that you have in mind, then share your screenshots or vids here on the forums.

lets make this our new CF map!

COLD_DOG · November 2009

wow u put a lot of work in it didnt ya

Arbok6 · December 2009

did CF developers take my idea? or is it just coincidence? i think the new map (Prison) is kinda similar to my design. and they name it the same as i did (prison). if you havent checked my sketch, do it and tell me what you think.
