I cant think of any good idea for a map. How do you gyes/girls do it? Does anyone have any ideas?

Movie/game soundtracks...
Photography
Other games' concept art
And hatred other maps.

That may also explain why I've only finished one map. :D:up:

How about a giant urban DM map along the lines of Zeitkind and SniperTown (or DarkCity (http://www.utmr.dk/Vote/Vote.asp?showVote=yes&mapid=1174), which hasn't been properly ported yet)? Lots of high buildings that you can go into, bridges, sprawling basements etc. Some interactive elements like exploding barrels would also be nice.

Another idea would be a medium sized hazardous waste processing type facility with lots of (transparent?) pipes 'n' stuff that spill toxic goo and gases all over the place when shot. Also there should be a couple of nice goo reservoirs that people can fall into (and die horribly). Basically it would be an environment where you could score a lot of indirect kills, with plenty of corridors & z-axis for some tight, intense action.
