I will be attempting to make a CTF map, called Bunker Buster. My aim is to create a map which makes high use of cover and team tactics. The basic terrain layout will be a map with 4 bunkers, 2 on each side with a subterranian tunnel between them which will contain a flag room, and a sniper tower in the middle on a hill. The hill will be high enough that the bunkers of your enemy cannot be seen from your bunkers. I also intend to create a small defelade zone between the bunkers and sniper tower that should provide some moderate cover. Also I intend on including several random cover features along the way such as sandbag piles, solid walls, and small dugout areas with and without overhead cover. My intent on the bunkers is that there will be some blind spots, specifically directly to the right and left, so that the entrance to the flag is more difficult to defend whilst in the shelter. There may also be a subterannian tunnel with entry/exit doors that will pass under the sniper tower but will be slightly more exposed to the bunkers. Alternate routes around the bunkers may also be implimented possibly through the use of bridges. I'm hoping to make the map cover quite a large distance to make your lives a bit more valuable to you and encourage more team tactics. Also there are many more intricacies which should balance the gameplay and tactics...mostly through visibility, cover, and location of weapons and ammo versus exposure to fire.
This will be my first attempt at a map, and I'm pretty sure by all of this I may be bitting off more than I can chew so if I find I can not complete it I may hand over all of my notes and concept art regarding this map.
I really hope I can pull this off because I've talked about it with all of my friends at school and they seem very excited about it...even the ones who barely know what UT is.
