Map Battles - Suggestions Part 2

[AlexCrafter]

looking at my post I really wasn't thinking straight, I was thinking a literal storm actually, weather related. But then, that's probably too specific or above the level of a lot of our users.

[Major Banter]

Come on guys, we've got plenty to think about. Need something to fill the interim to Christmas!

Maybe some fresh ideas for a template? I have one in the pipeline, but always open to suggestions..

[Qwiggalo]

Create this. Most detailed wins.

[Surfa]

Yeah but people who can model could easily just cheat.

Ummm I mean great Idea.

[Major Banter]

Hm.

Landmarks.

Or Insane Landmarks.

Could be a contender.

Making that all with brushes would look awful.

Why would it look awful? There's a lot you can do with brushes if you know how to use them. Also lighting is much better on brushes and displacements compared to models in Source.

Umm...... Some of these have prolly been done before, but wtf might as well list them
"Utopia"
"What Happens Next!?" - Give a reference shot of something, then people map what happens next
"Out Of This World"
"2012" - Obviously, how the earth will end blahblahbla-blah

[Major Banter]

I think we did Utopia, but I like the sound of "What happens next?" - It's a little more comedic or gameshowey than INCOMING.

Out of this world is a nice one as well. Verrrry nice.

I'd like to see you texture all that brush-work. Then tell me how much you can do with brushes.

How about "Sanctuary"?

Only tough part would be the spheres. Otherwise it doesn't seem that hard. I'm not saying it would be completely seamless, but neither would a model.

[Phott]

How about "Your room" or something similiar... Like the room you are sitting in when you map.

[Mighty Monk]

I reckon that would require too much custom content for some people to have the time/ability to make in my opinion, but it was quite a nice idea!
