So this is my concept (quickly doodled using a tablet, I'll upload a better pic as soon as I get to a scanner (probablly tomorrow):
A map that revolves around a biodome with caves on the alien side, vents and plenty of room for fighting.
Legend:
1- Marine start. A dropship, an airlock or someting else (might be connected to the ventilation system, if it won't be a dropship).
2- A small lobby, has a clear view of the biodome and 2 staircases/slopes leading to the Cargo Bay.
3- The cargo bay. It's a medium-large room with a pretty tall ceiling and plenty of crates, some might be explosive. Connected to the biodome by a large door.
4- It's not a fried egg, nor a helipad, it's the biodome. The whole area is loaded with infestation. There's one large entrance to the cave where the aliens spawn and possibly some other places to hide.
5- An observation bridge/control room. The window may be broken.
6- Two seperate halls (Crew Access and Research Lab) or one big hall (maintenance access). Contain some debris and infestation, providing cover for aliens. Connected to the biodome by two doors.
7- The ventilation system's control room. It has a weldable that closes the vents, which takes a long time to weld (20 seconds, even more).
8- The vents. They may have some high spots for chambers and/or destructable parts
9- Elevators or slopes that lead to the hall(s) (number 6).
What do you think? Will it work?

Looks interesting. Make sure Biodome isn't to open, or it will be a nightmare for aliens.
Edit: Well dern. alienchickenpie told off Uranium before I could.
Still IMO, too damn many combat maps. Easy to make and balance so people just churn them out now. Especially since everyone says combat gets stale and boring...

LOL, a game mode which gets boring and stale before it's released to the public, GG.

Easy to make and balance? Get a bloody clue before you open that trap of yours; the brushwork, lighting and entity placement sure doesn't get any easier just because you add a "co_" prefix instead of an "ns_" one.
I think what you meant to say is it's "slightly easier" to make and balance, but it's still not a cakewalk, buddy.
