Map Idea

<div class="IPBDescription">City</div> okay i no nothing about how to map but i have a good idea. Okay the marines have like a bunker type thing to start in. The map is set in a big city. Hive would be in an abandoned building, subway, and sewers. I have a general layout if any one is interested in my idea. Just throwing it out to spark some ideas.

    All we need is Danny Glover, and we can have Predator 2!

    I don't think this map idea is suitable for NS, given the mods context <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Big open city parts would be unfair for skulks.

    <b>big </b>open <b>city</b> on the HL engine.

    That is a total pepsi max challenge <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> (how random)

    You could try to do an underground city, ie: atmosphere was unsuitable to live in, post apocolyptic type of thing, so the people delved into the ground. After several months they stumble upon ruins and unlock an underground kharaa infestation type thang.

    I think it'd be doable, but you definitely couldn't have a full fledged city, the engine and the game dynamic doesn't really support it.

    nah, city map is very possible, just imagination, correct HL engine workage, and great mapping skillz are required =/

    I say, wait for HL2 (for big cities of course). <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    To add to the suggestion, cities have backstreets, why not bigger city areas for hives and smaller narrower areas of habitation for other places that can somehow be TSA related.

    saying that citys can be done.

    Take Day of Defeat for example, great cities and it works on the HL engine.

    ( what a contrast from my earlier comment) <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    At the end of the day though, the aliens haven't reached Earth have they? So it'd have to be another race of aliens city, or a city in space (more futuristic). That is, if you want your map to be serious. If not, go wild!

    just a suggestion <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> i was thinking of a run down city. Not a lot of building most of the playing underground since 2 of the 3 hives are underground <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Not quite sure what your getting at, what i mean is have you searched back in the forums or just using this as your own idea because i have started this kinbd of thing before but gave up because to many people had a problem with it. The building thing and that sounds excatly the same to what i wrote, have a look <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=4&t=37249' target='_blank'>here</a>
