((Don't hate me for this By the time I finished typing out this post...I felt like an idiot ))

Okay, so seeing these new maps coming out made me kind of want to get one out. I'm a complete nub in this area, so anything you see will be horrid, just face it.

I searched high and low but could not find the author of a very small, but fun Deathmatch (no not Team, which means more work) map called "aim_arena_b2". I decided instead of just porting it straight and adding flags to edit the hell out of it. It was great fun on my server last night for 5 v 5, so this map probably wouldn't be great for big crowds on the Tomb, but who knows. Pedestal is a beotch with crowds, and demise is worse, but I believe this could take the cake if finished.

My horrid map making skills butchered the map, but my vision came out in a single screen shot. It was two floors to begin with and had a ton of elevators. I deleted all but two of these, one in each flag area, and planned a third floor at the very top for a sniper rifle and crossbow area.

There are NO batteries, health packs, or chargers, so this will take skill to play and stay alive. There are (currently because I worked on layout mostly thus far) only crossbows and grenades on the map. I plan on a third floor, with a sniper, just some small walkways, and a few mags. The guy who made the original made my job hard though, because theres alot of secret places on the map where he stashed weapons, so editing will take much more work. Plus, it needs a working spawn room, one that won't have anything except a door, and a working kill trigger. I still have to work out where the spawn door will go though.

Reason for even posting this is to see if there would be much interest in playing this map, and maybe helping...alot. Basically I'll give you what I have and the original, and you have my ideas... meh I'm not sure.

Just thought it'd be a nice map for quick fun. Here's a screenie:

I'll PM ya. Got a .zip file for you too.

Thanks. I may do what Grumps said and go for a dom style map. I don't much like dom maps, but who knows. We'll see.

Okay talked to tw1tch, and neither of us could decompile b6 right, so he gave me the decompiled b5. The custom textures already in it make it a b*tch of a file size, but I'm gonna release the bsp prior to each test or public release so people can get right in on the action. As a n00b of a mapper, making these spawns will be difficult for me, but I'm hoping to make them inaccessible to the other team, place the flags in ideal competion places and limit whoring of any and all weapons. I'm gonna customize a third floor too, so it should get interesting. Maybe it may be dom...I'm not sure yet.
