ALRIGHT EVERYONE WHO'S EVER COMPLAINED ABOUT ANY MAP EVER

Its been a while since I posted here but I have an announcement that I'm sure everyone will love.

I have talked to Beetle and we have come to an agreement. If i give him a list of things that you (yes you little cCivilian) would like to see in a map, he will make it.

IT DOESNT EVEN NEED TO BE REASONABLE

SO TELL ME WHAT YA WANT. YOU WANT 17 PRESENTS THAT NEED TO BE COLLECTED BEFORE YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR SPAWN? SURE WHY NOT. YOU WANT IT TO PLAY THE DOCTOR WHO THEME CONSTANTLY? DO IT. YOU WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE ONLY HALF-ZATOICHI? TALK TO FLAMIN ABOUT THAT CAUSE THAT'S SERVER MOD BULLSHIT AND DOESN'T BELONG HERE.

Its gonna be basic First Come (someone says they want it to be koth and someone says ctf after its gonna be koth (UNLESS its something stupid or Beetle says fuck you))
Its also not gonna be MVM for pretty obvious reasons.


DON'T BOTHER BEETLE WITH YOUR IDEAS. POST THEM HERE OR TELL ME OVER STEAM IF YOU MUST Beetle is only willing to make the map because I'm the one finding and writing down what everyone wants.

I think that's all I really have to say here. So get to it!

EDIT: Don't just post stupid stuff in the thread to be the funny guy. actually think about what you say.
(keep in mind anyone can come back to this thread and see what each person added to the map)

So I'll ask you nicely, PLEASE DON'T BE A BAG OF COCKS

Each team has to find 7 gifts hidden throughout the area around there spawn, before they open the door that allows them to teleport to another area with the capture points. Kinda like you have to find the gifts in area 1-1 on dm_mariokart.

one word: ridableflyingrhinocerouses.

Rhinoceri, you mean.




Hmm...


More weird shit than Harbl. Plenty of things to Use, like BOSS SPAWNING BUTTONS.

And low grav.

Cheatcode: -> L2 v R1 <- <- R1 L1 L2 L1

2 things
a visable skybox element that is the first level from fez its small but you can see it revolve (even if cheaply) has to be detailed enough to make it out and not 4 pixels on an lcd screen

and a completed cube (not the really big godlike thing but the peices of it) as a prop
that does nothing but be dynamic and be able to move and stuff... like the companion cube in mariokart but better

Something similar to balloon race and wacky races, only with a new twist. (I leave this up to Billy or beetle)

So I'm essentially cramming as much random crap into a map as possible?

(also, if you don't know if something is possible to do in Hammer, it's probably not)

something in the shape of a very large tower. an nice towermap would be sweet

That's up to the Community. If they want to work together and piggyback off of each others ideas to make a somewhat good map they absolutely can.
I honestly doubt they will and I foresee something between harble and a mariokart map being created out of this mess.

something like this except there are 9 presents per team to get and each challenge is class specific, also buttons to spawn bosses on enemy spawns that re-enable every time you find a present.

and once you get all 9 presents you ride a flying rhinocerous to the cap point

For a start, how about just a lot of things to interact with which require the +use console command. I dunno, I'm not very imaginative.

Dont care what the map is, aslong as theres a well protected spawn and its hard to camp with sentries
[Like the booskhelves in Toyfort... ugh]

How bout a CC Hockey Arena?

or a space themed map. Like on a spaceship. Doctor who/star wars/ ect...

Uhh.

Replicate arena_saw

HHH spawns whenever one team achieves an objective or after a certain cooldown.

Let's do this, bitches.

Breakable floors

We kinda already have two of these maps.

90% of these posts are "forum funny guy" posts.

I really do want flying rhinocerouses that act as payload carts, even if the map isn't payload.

Motion seconded. Because rhinos!

Honestly I figured this was gonna be a joke bumblefuck of a map a la harbl or cc hotel.

And it's not like I can recommend anything serious seeing as I haven't played this game since June of last year.

Why the fuck am I still on these forums?

How can it not be, really? Still, the suggestions of those that are just trying to be funny are pretty obvious (and just clutter). and other than being a bit too ambitious and overfilling the map, i think cchotel was a success since the prophunt version is on regular rotation on some servers.

Mine was serious. very fun map, especially when the logs fell on the control point.

A DJ room in the skybox.

Yeah, I think that pretty much covers everything.

Actually, I was just thinking: Chaofanatic submitted an idea for a Z-axis oriented tower map called CP_Erector in the custom maps section earlier today.

Link: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=28792

What does this have to do with anything? I think maybe, whether or not erector is eventually added or even just considered, you could base the overall layout of the new map off of its design philosophy, and maybe combine it with the capture point system that Avanti has, so in the end you have a huge ass vertical tower map (like Erector), except BLU is tasked with carrying the intelligence past checkpoints as they climb up the tower (again just like Avanti). This would, I think, work better than a simple cp map because such a layout would be too easy to defend, whereas an intel/checkpoint system could even the playing field whilst still not making capping way too easy.

I'm sure my idea is full of gaping holes and stupid horseshit, but I just thought I'd throw it up into the air because I think it would be an interesting concept, and again, because it is only an idea.

More and more like Harbl every post....

its an interesting idea tho

Regarding DJ room...

It'd be best if the music could be heard all over, and the room was also where the boss summonings are activated.


A suggestion for a song option. And a second.

BILLY MAYZING!!! wrote:More and more like Harbl every post....

But I knew that going in. You can't have a huge collaboration of random ideas and have it be anything but something like harbl.

I was talking about it being a tower filled with rooms of random bullshit
