Why not map for New Problem?
Posted 20 years ago2004-05-31 09:55:50 UTC Post #29475
I suggest you:

1. Read some books.
2. Watch some movies.
3. Take a stroll outside in the city.
4. Don't force yourself to think up an idea.

I often find inspiration coming when I least suspect it. For example, during my exam Dutch I got some nice idea's. Or while watching a movie I though up on a nice setting for a map. Often, combining these idea's greatly helps making a map unique.

Store up on idea's, make sketches so you don't loose these idea's. At this moment, I have several scenario's to try out. Too bad I can only handle one or two at a time... :|

We usually put the adjective (describing word) before the noun (object). Dutch exam, not "exam Dutch".

Good recommendations.

oh, you said HL-basketball. There is a map for TFC called basketball where you really do play basketball against the other team. The people in the audience get to shoot at you.

Everyone is usually preocupied with some other Idea, and these brainstorm ones just die away in the forums.

resident evil
silent hill
dino crisis
freedom fighters (<-- this one is for large maps with buildings)
splinter cell

but some of the indoor ones can.

Take a walk outisde, i guarentee you, you will get ideas. If you don't go watch a movie or read a book.(like captain p said). Or you can think of a theme for a map (like ancient egypt) and do some research. Look more closely at the world and you will notice things you haven't before, this helps greatly when i wonder how to design my map.
