What are some maps you would love to see in a COD game?

A dark jungle etc?

Something unique would be my first choice, no more 'town' maps for the love of god!!

There is so much more to explore, why not try make the first underwater map? That would be unique.

Never thought about an underwater map....hmmm

Try to bring some portal maps to cod2!
Would be great to play run and gun in portalmaps :)

A massive desert map.... sand dunes, rocky outcroppings, a few cliff-side caves. And half way into the round a sandstorm blocks all sight for like 1 minute. and the cherry on top.... rideable camels! (JK on the last on)

also:

a map with two train stations for spawns and a train going through them in a big circle. train car gunfights as buildings whip by, whenever a bridge or tunnel passes it knocks you off the roof and kills you. (I have made some train maps but they are not very good)

finally:

skyscraper - bad on roof good on ground, elevators, window washing carts, ventilation systems, and rappel ropes. good old fashioned swat team/ terrorist fun. also teh ability to cut an elevator cable would be hilarious.

With all the maps that exist these days over multiple games I wonder what ideas are left. Its like Hollywood. You've almost gotta be a Tarantino of map making. Its not the idea of a town. But it shouldnt be made from the usual cookie cutter. Easier said than done of course. But it doesnt have to be realistic. Go for something a bit more surreal. As an inspiration make a cod'ish homage to Pepperland when it is occupied by the Blue Meanies.

another theoretical map i had planned on building but never have yet is a large laboratory with changeable scenery.

both teams spawn in a massive warehouse and look across at each other. As soon as the round timer ends the first world set appears. It could be a small russian village with rubble and trenches. 5 mins later everyone freezes gets flashbanged and when it fades away they are in the middle east. then Sci fi futuristic city, then finally the last minute of the game is no scenery and it is a slaughterfest.

I was wondering if i could make each scenery script arrays and use show delete commands, but i havent tried to do someting this large scale.

The Poseidon Adventure map.....basically, a capsized ship interior... ...although this would work better for COD 4.
Upside-down everything.

You'd have the "everything is trashed" look , similar to a war zone.....but it would be tough designing it properly.



Or, go full on M.C. Echer.

I don't think that would be hard to make, but yes it would take skill to make a map like that but I think that would be awesome to play...

you can yontinue my lavadrome maps if you want
ive made a small island in a lava-river with some custom textures, maybe i find them again lol

and i have made the front of ther berliner reichstag in real-player size (you fell like 3 secs to the ground lol - real size)

now im making a small stonebridge on the see with a lighthouse and a border-house almost done only terrain is missing lol

another good idea would be some flying epic islands like in the movie avatar lol
