I will probably start the map tomorow, but first I need some basic informations about the base layout.
I don't want to make a splited/huge base for some reasons, first of all this map is made for matches, so we can't let some facts ruining the gameplay.
Bad exemple: ac_desert3 CLA base, spawns are dumbs, there are spawns at the top (out of the base lol), the map is huge and when the enemy escape with your flag, the most important points to stop him is to have a good spawn (or not a unlucky one). It's the same thing on ac_depot, if you spawn front of the way the enemy escapes, he's dead, if you don't spawn at the oposite... bad luck. To avoid this, I will make a non splited base (remember the ac_desert3 exemple) and i'll make a not huge room, like that different spawns will not affect the random spawn a lot.
Bad exemple: ac_shine, both bases are very open, this offers a very soft, fast and enjoyable gameplay, but this is a serial issue related to the spawn kill, if you stay on sides (right and left) you can easily spawnkill an oponent (because spawn orientations are not always very well placed). Plus the CLA side is directly open to the middle, spawning here with a sniper/ar front is like spawning half HP. To avoid this, if you check the gameplay picture, you can see the middle is not directly linked to bases, there is a room between the base and the mid. Plus, to avoid spawn kills, spawn points will have a good orientation and will be sticked to walls, like that the spawnkiller will not be in your back (but front or at sides).
If you have ideas about a base layout (more interesting than a simple cube) with pilars (and where?), high differences, ladders, stairs, etc, drop a line (or a pic) of two.
