co_rats

Hey everyone. I want to make a new map for combat mode. Not a "serious" map like everyone is used to playing on, but a silly/fun map. And I want to do it in the style of de_rats from counter-strike.

I've already built one such map, co_minifridge, but it is rather small and it was easy because, being set in a fridge, I got to use the snow texture for half the map.

I want to do another one like it, but this time I want it to be distinctly rats-like. A room lined with cabinets, drawers, household appliances, and maybe a sink if I can get the water mod to work. In the middle of the map will be a vast open space for anyone brave enough to attempt crossing (hopefully this isn't the go-to area for marines who want to farm kills).

Anyway, if anyone has some great ideas or wants to contribute in some way, please reply here or PM me.

you might want to start with not making the same mistake in minifridge being marine sided. also, don't make the map too big as exo's rush will be useless.

Yes, with the scale I wanted for the fridge, the only decent option was to put one base above the other. There was simply no room to do them both at the same height.

For the rats level, both teams will start on roughly equal footing. i.e. opposite sides of the map with neither team starting significantly higher than the other.
