custom map idea, need feedback on it

[Netsky]

well i want to make an ins map for our servers, i'll tell you with my idea is of the map i would be glad if you guys give me feedback
i don't know what gametype its going to be, i like firefight though, but i am thinking abot making it push

the idea:
i want to make a pakistan- afghanistan border map, the story is afghan ins recently plundered the pakistan border area, the american general in that region sends up marines to hunt the infedels down,

the map will be buid like this:
marines start of at a marine bass, the first objective would be to secure a pakistan town, the second objective would be a bordercrossing with buildings and lot of bunkers and walls for cover on both sides the third objective would be a hard to get ins bass on top of hills it would enclude tunnels and stuff (like the hideout of al qaida in the afghan hills)

i did not start making this map but i am going to in a couple of days.

one thing, NATO forces dont cross the border with out permission from the pakistany government who have their own army protecting that area. so a mountin region yes by all means (i was going to do one of these but havent found the time) but not one set out of Afghanistan or Iraq. i like this idea. maybe have it as USMC patrol ambushed in the hills have to get from burnt humve to border station with other objectives between like maybe a taliban camp with tents and a camp fire and a hill cave?

I think that would be a great idea. What about making the terrain very mountainous and having secret tunnel entrances/exits that are covered with brush? If your not sure as to what I mean I can show you some examples that are on Amarah, or however you spell it.

I'm a huge fan of detailed maps and can get carried away with some ideas...

Sorry if my feedback was of no help :blushing:

+1

that would be epic for an ambush map. maybe ins start in a cave with multipal exits to small holes in the hill to snipe/jump from?

Yeeesss.

HardStyle if you can, make up a small layout of the map that you are thinking of and then we can add a lot more feedback on this?

first of all thank you for the ideas, but i didn't start making anything yet, today or tomorrow i'll start, i have a preety good idea, and i was going to make the ins hideout in the hills with tunnels, i can put the last capture point in a valley infront of the hills so the ins can snipe from the hills, and place some bunkers and coverege bunkers for the marines,

what do you mean with a small layout of the map?
how do i make it? you mean with source sdk?

I think he means a map or drawing or something.

Personally, I think the USMC is the attacking team too much. I dunno if you want to do it here or not, but another map where USMC defends would be nice.

its true. grand inn i believe did have an idea where the usmc were defending their embassy from attack that looked good but none of us did it/ had the time. id be willing to give people a hand but im working on grutas map at the moment and that is huge so might take some time.

i wish we could add civilians that would be running around that would make it much funner and like in mw2 remeber those missions where you have to take out the militia it would be much realistic and fun if there was civilians (cant actually do that but it would be epic)

 

[Ice hearted killer]

you can have them but they would be stationary rag dolls. unless you want to do some NPC programing

 

[Imb]

rag dolls could be fun, having em leaning against windows and such, you know as an insurgent trick .. :b

IDK the extent of your familarness with hammer but you do know you u have to make a special text file for the map. I would be happy to help I am preety experinced with mapping

:D

that is possible I did that in a hl2dm map it is very easy if you are familiar with it. put a certain type of prop_ model in change its model and animation. but most animates make it stay in place.

^pro.
imc2 files can be quite confusing i hate having to write them

euh nope now nothing about text file, well my hammer knowledge is pretty basic so this idea is going to be worked out in the long run
