Escape Map Suggestions
Ok, so as not very many of you know, Flagrun is in it's final completion stages. The map is pretty much done, and runs pretty damn well on most machines, at least in comparison to developer maps. The Lua is being finished right now and all that remains is another random lengthy compile and some testing by the good ol testers. That said, onto my point:
I'm trying to decide what kind of project I want to do next. On the table are are several options including: A)Circular CTF B)Verticle/Tower Based A/D C)NPC operated Gang-Wars (You fight for control of AI characters, who will fight with you when they're yours.) But really, I think an escape map would fit nicely into my schedule because I can work on it in sections, and if needbe, work on it with others. So it comes down to this. Name suggestions for what you think would make a cool scenario for an escape map. If you don't know what an escape map is, it refers to a map in which you work with teammates at overcoming obstacles in order to escape a level. If I see a really good suggestion, I'll try my best to make it amazing. Go! |

An 'assembly line' theme where players are very small on a giant moving conveyor belt would be neat.
You could do an escape map in snowy mountains.. /shrug But i think you should do an escape map, 100%. We need one for FF! |

Why not do an old school "The_Game" type of map? Yeah, I know....that's what you are saying....but I mean in the HL1 world, just with better textures. I don't think anyone is working on something like that.
As for Flagrun.....I hope you remembered the tower.

How about a big fun house carnival style!
Did you ever play the map Carnival for TFC? It was very imaginative, but rather basic with only a few rides in a world that couldn't do lots of polygons. |

what about an ADL map where theres an elevator in the center, and it starts moving upward in a talllll building (think half-life 2) at the beginning. it stops at a floor, and they must capture that floor's cap point. after capping it, the offense team is brought back to the elevator, and it starts moving up again. the final floor can be on the roof.

Ok, here's what my next map will be: Either an A/D Tower Map or an Escape Skyscraper map.
The theme for the skyscraper map will be an office building...A bunch of civilians will be in a boardroom and then Barney will come on a video screen and be like WTF were blowin this place up. So then everyones got to be like SHIT gtfo. I have some more details past that but I don't wanna spoil the suprises.... What you think? |

Is anyone considering doing like a Rats or Turkeyburgers style map. Those can be lots of fun. . .was playing rats3 on the O-T server last night and really enjoyed it. I would love to see a map like that here on FF

I think I might be a few months late on this but I'll give my two cents anyway. How about a huge prison thats theoreticaly unescapeable like Alcatraz or Sing Sing. If not my other idea would be a giant haunted house. Let me know what you think, I would really like to see some escape maps for FF.

That would be awesome. Everything from the glass on the floor to the airducts... mmm... But hey, whatever you end up making, make sure that the Escape map can not be solo'd. Some of the best ones required cooperation, like two or three person switches.
