Take a bad map and make it good in as minimal changes as possible.
OR take a good map and make it better.

Pris cbctf starts out with no nades.

Make dammy cbctf start out the same and it becomes indefinitely better.

speaking from small game perspective bc i don't play large games:

basic principle of a good map is:
1) getting power weapons should involve some level of risk (see location of rockets in dammy and prisoner)
2) separate powerups and strong points on the map where possible (dammy, chillout do this well)
3) The less linear the map the better

Anything that encourages people to move, rather than hold an area for the whole game and anything that involves making calculated decisions is a good map.

damnation and chill out do this the best, provided you play with rockets on (espec for dammy). I really like battle creek but not many people like it for some reason, maybe if the grass didn't make such loud noises it would be better...

HeH would be good if half the map wasn't useless space (also lucky randoms are not a good game mechanic...)

If I had to fix any map I'd fix derelict by switching the location of the frag and plasma nades and moving pistol ammo exclusively downstairs. Currently every derelict game runs something like follows:

1) are you holding top?
YES: good stay top.
NO: get top.
2) Repeat step 1.

you should post something like this on modacity and see if someone will try to make the map(s) for you.. (assuming you haven't already)

blade you can post screenshots of you beating people like louie in 1v1s as much as you want (seriosly with your sound, set up, and stopwatch you shouldnt lose a 1v1) but it doesnt change the fact that he is 20x the player you are.
