<div class="IPBDescription">Hit me up for ideas...I can't map</div> I have a couple ideas I want to through out. I tried PMing Ollj, b/c he is the grandmaster mapper, but no response.
How about some JPing maps for fun. Where people race down cooridors and stuff. Kind of like the fun maps on CS called fy.
Is anybody working on any ES - escape maps...(search for ES at n-s.org)? It would be like something out of the movie Aliens, trying to reach a certain point.
2 deathmatch style games.
1) if friendlyfire can be coded in a map. How about having marines vs marines or aliens vs aliens
2) if bots can be coded into a map. Have marines fight off infinite alien bots and last marine alive wins.

Contact me to hear my other crazy ideas.

If mappers had wonderful, great ideas they would keep it to themselves and make a map themselves. So try to come up with your own ideas and not give them away. You wouldn't want to say "Hey, that guy stole my idea and put up a map before me. I want credit!"

How would they get jetpacks? What about the alien team (teams have autobalance on by default)? Hey you could make one but I don't think people would play it.

Those objectives are impossible at this point although you could do a tricky way around this. (Player reaches a certain point, pulls switch, hives take damage and die). Would be an interesting map. I'm only telling you this because I don't plan on making such a map.

friendly fire can not be coded into a map.

Nope, bots can't be coded in a map either!
On another note, marines vs. marines and aliens vs. aliens are being considered to be implemented, but don't expect them anytime soon.
It is sad that some of that stuff can be programmed in. How do they do it in Sven Coop and the FY maps where the guns are just sitting there. Maybe more people need to reply. I bet it is possible.
