ok, i rethought this so its less complicated :

I want a map for machinima which is "Saving Private Ryan" style with a beach landing/rock-

dotted field and where u assault a bunker/fortress with heavy weapons and tanks/artillery for

the assaulting team, and mounted MGs and other vehicles for defending team (only human

weapons/vehicles)

maybe random explosions programmed outside the base to make it look like artillery fire

old idea (still up):

I've talked to a lot of friends on CE about a cool map idea, and many people I know agree with this: What we want, is a Bunker/Fort style map with a beach (think D-Day) or some open terrain with rocks and trees dotting it.

OpsY had started a cool-looking fort from like HaloWars or something, and TLS Stronghold is another example. Even something like H3 High Ground would be awesome. Just something for Assault games or CTF.

Bunkers, towers, walls, gates, etc. Slit-windows, Pillboxes, MG nests. I suppose a Gate capable of being opened/closed would be too unbalanced, although unfair, it would be more realistic if the switch was only on the inside of the fort. I suppose a well armored Pelican could easily slip past and open, but he would just get shot and the door would be closed again.

It would be better if it was more realistic though, like only two Entrances (man + vehicle) would be awesome, and no damage or tunnels leading in (fine, maybe one or two) but basically walled, with towers or other stuff, one main gate (openable) with heavy defenses, and some buildings inside, amd in the middle, a base (flag)

and either snipers, MG turrets, or Kingfish999's lil portable MG (which rips through your armor in about 0.8 seconds....) would be useful as defensive.

Most vehicles would be inside (hangers, launch bays, roads, etc) but a tank or two, and a few hogs, would be given two the attacking side for support (tank would be like artillery, or cover fire, unless some1 could add like a stationary cannon(s). and the attackers would get rockets, snipers, and other stuff to make it easier to attack. oh, and some pelicans

and the terrain would be flat or sloped with trees and rocks scattered here and there to provide cover for the assaulting team, or maybe a beach like Normandy. and their base would be a lil far off, out of range from the fort. Teams would switch between attacker/defender.

I'm thinking a rush assault, intense, bullets flying here and there...basically picture the opening scene for Saving Private Ryan. and the weapons are realistic and powerful, as i said maybe like Kingfish999's stuff.

Any1 have any ideas, or wanna try and make one? it's my "dream map"...... -_-'
plus it would be awesome to play on!

regarding ur D-Day map, why dont u take a look at this map?

All it needs is a bit of elaboration and it could probably do most of what you want

good idea...

WHAT ABOUT A SCARY MOVIE/GAME setting...

WITH AN AXE AGAINST THE FLOOD AND A REMINGTON SHOTGUN!!!

have it: been there done that. and its ok, except like NOBODY has it, and its not exactly too much like a bunker, but close

and i also tried nazi_hideaway, which is very nice, except the bunker part could be better, and the sound effect kinda end up sounding like pots and pans being smashed together.

TLS stronghold is good, except im looking for one base (think HighGround H3)
pillbox style

srry to be picky, but i want to make this awesome movie, and there are very few fortress-style maps and none of them have exactly what im looking for...


still, any1 wanna give it a try?

*edit* found this, kinda what im looking for:


it would be either an open field with trees and rocks or a beach (maybe with sandbags etc)

im not gonna use snipers on it, but since the windows would be small, narrow, slits, the attacking team would get tanks and rockets to make it easier
