Looking to create one solid list of "map ideas" and things that you think would be cool. Only need to post a basic summary.
Lets Begin:
Al-Basrah Oil Terminal
Made after the ABOT in Iraq, map is a water only map with a carrier and a large oil terminal that must be seized by the USMC, and defended by the MEC.
Coronado
Made after the real life base in Coronado, an assaulting force sneaks into the US borders in disguise of a cargo ship heading into San Diego. They hide in the ship till Christmas Eve when they plan a sunset assault on the base in hopes to attempt a desperate and likely suicidal chance to make away with or scuttle the US carrier currently docked at the base.
Great Wall of China
British vs Chinese forces set at the Great Wall in winter. Snow map, very big. Chinese last defense flag is the great wall's center palace.
Palace Assault
Made after the Former Republican Palace, Bahgdad, Iraq and it's surrounding areas. Insurgent vs USMC
Bahgdad Inner City
To go along with the Palace Assault Map, or even combined with it.. a map made in referance to the real city of Bahgdad. Insurgent vs USMC
Al-Fallujah
Made after the real city of Al-Fallujah, but still with a Sand Storm. Insurgents vs USMC
The MOG
NOT moddled after Black Hawk Down, but made in referance to the real city of the Mog.
Peace Bridge
Focused battle on a large bridge between a city and an open desert area. Each team fights for control of the bridge, to defend their side of the river. Insurgent vs British.
The Open Desert
8km by 8km map with only open desert and very few statics on each side. Light terrain variation. Lots of armor, and a few air assets.
Convoy
Militia vs British/USMC - Push map style, once captured can not retake. Allied convoy must move from one end to the other. Limited air support and large ground convoy at start. Might fit well into another game mode other than AAS.
Desert Comfort
US/British troops defending city palace/resort/nice area against invading MEC forces. Light armor and air support, against heavy MEC armor assets. City to slums, to open desert combat zone with off shore carrier.
Chinese Dam Construction Project
US pushes against Chinese defense force in Chinese homeland. Map includes several dams that must be pushed past. See http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/EH26Ad01.html for more realistic story data.

Peace Bridge
This is a bridge that crosses the Suez Canal (and from the looks of it, the one in 2142). On the east side of the bridge there are some buildings and stuff, and a road from the south. Across the bridge is what looks like farms and roads. This could be a wide open desert map with a small village and then of course the bridge.

A few ideas.....
Convoy
The US/British troops are heading north into Kurd territory to investigate intellegence reports of massing of Iraqi troops and vehicles. They drive there recon/light armor convoy north with very little air support (1 little bird and 1 black hawk)
into the foothills. The iraqis have intell of there own from the locals and they are preparing an ambush for the convoy.
The map would be long and narrow north to south with varying elevations that funnel the us/brits into tight little up hill passes good for ambushes. They would have to capture control points as they advance north.
I would like to add 1 F-15 for air strikes (eventually laser Designated) but you would have to have a (tanker) or place the plane would have to go for take off and reloading,....would'nt quite work without an air strip.
Grunt vacation
The US/Brits have moved into an area on the gulf that was going to be a 5 star resort before the war haluted construction. There are allot of empty sea side hotels,golf coarse and abandoned construction sites with multiple cranes overlooking the operation.
With the morning comes a rooster crow, the sun and an artillary strike to wake everyone from there beds. The Iraqi army is pushing into the resort from the desert,...........the grunts want to keep the fighting to the slums outside of the resort so they can enjoy there 5 star comforts again.
Link-to possible location notethe resort and town are separated.. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&z=16&ll ... 8&t=h&om=1
Heavy Iraq armor with light helo support...
Light fairly dug in US/brit troops defending with scrambled F-15s on the way from the carrier far off shore.
Dam Project
With the recent completion of the 3 gorges dam project China has had to quickly step up operations and construction on a many other dams LInk:http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/EH26Ad01.html in order to try and provide water and power to keep its manufacturing processes up and running.
Since the crash of a US spy plane over the Chonqing province and subsiquent retaliation by hitting a US base in the phillipines the US has launched a massive and sudden recovery mission near the ZinQing Dam Construction project.
China stunned at the fact that the US air-dropped and used low flying Helos to deliver hundreds of foot troops and light vehicles (hummers) into there country quickly accessed the situation.
They took there finger off the nuke trigger and instead decided this would be a great chance to kill and invading American force with in its boarders and send a message to the rest of the world about there great power and restraint painting the US as the bad guy.
China however does not have much military might in that area and rapidly deploys a light force of there own. (2 transport choppers 1 light helo as well as troop carrier ground vehicles)

Alright here is a larger picture. As you can see, to the west of the canal, there is some city/suburban/farm area, which could probably be the main focus of the map, and to the east is a huge open desert, maybe the staging point for the USMC? It could maybe even be split into two maps. First one the USMC have to secure the east desert in order to set up a base. It could be USMC vs. MEC, then the next map could be the west side of the canal where the USMC now have to move in and expel either the MEC or Insurgents.'[R-PUB wrote:Maistros']Right, try to keep in mind PR is going for larger maps in the future. It would be a neat area to have in the middle of a much larger scale map, but if you could post images from higher up that would give a better idea of the surrounding areas.
If you want to make it one huge map, then it could be MEC vs. USMC. The USMC would have a base/airfield in the desert and the MEC would have an airport in the city and it would make for one massive insane battle.

Cross Roads AASv2
A city is divided by a large street. On one side the commercial area and on the other is residential. At the end of the Street north is a Large Palace Compound The city as a whole would be big and cramped. Many narrow allyways line the city sides, but on the major street, it is sparse of cover. The Insurgent forces begin on the Residental Side and the MEC start on the Commercial Side and have a Military Outpost far away South from city on the road (like Karkand or Kyogan Ni'). Armor assets and vehicals spawn at Main.
INS Flags- Mosque>Hotel or Palace Compound>Mec Flags
MEC Flags- Storage warehouse>Office Buildings or Palace Compound>INS Flags
Cross Roads Extract
Starting at palace, the MEC must move a key INS leader down to the Military
Base for questioning. The INS must stop this transport by any means neccessary for fear of him telling about their plans, even if the leader is killed along with the MEC transport.
Rough idea for a map, surely some flaws with it. Sorta made it up as I went along. INS may be replaced with milita. I can see some fun, having civilians walk across the road making the convoy stop, then ambush them.

Insurgent School
In remote north east corner of Afaganistan an insurgent training facility has gone unnoticed. Heavly defened with barbwire and natural features that conceal undeground bunkers and hidden armor. The walled complex is a buzz during what would be lunch hour, they are ready to defend there facility.......locals are running from there village into the poppy fields and foothills to hide......but from whom?
Either the US/Brits are coming to take out this safe haven for insurgents.....
or......Chinese forces in a bold move to take Afgahnistan from the small Allied forces have moved foot troops,light armor and vehicles through Tajikistan with light helo airsupport and are pushing south into Afganistan. The insurgents don't care who it is they will not let any infedels take there country....

I love this sort of threads. First, why not go digging through the Community Modding board for "Map Ideas". I remember way back when there used to be some interesting and very detailed ideas for maps.
Anyhow, onto my personal ideas.
Alaskan Heights
Chinese Special Forces raiding a top secret U.S research facility deep in the Alaskan mountains. Features lots of snow, mountains and potentially a large custom static with a large, complex interior and underground area (Think Area 51 or something).
The Battle at Istanbul
U.S/U.K forces will be tasked in defending the city of Istanbul from a MEC siege. The map will represent a large city, with a river running down the middle. The Northwest or west side will hold the majority of the flags, with the U.S/U.K team defending each one. The MEC will start on the other side, with one or two flags to deploy from. The MEC will sport a large amount of tanks, APCs and other vehicles, while the U.S/U.K team will be left with the majority of the flags.
The inspiration of this map mainly comes from "Saving Private Ryan" and CoD's "Stalingrad". For the most part, the city would be bombed out. MEC forces are trying to overtake the city so they can gain an open door to invading Europe. This makes it essential for U.S/U.K forces to defend it. The actual city is located in Turkey, built around some sort of bay there.
Hawaiian Storm
Chinese Marines are storming the island of Hawaii (Another tropical map for the most part). U.S forces are tasked in defending the city from Chinese forces, who are deploying from a nearby carrier offshore (Might require a new ship static for the Chinese). Mostly island and urban warfare for the most part.
That's all I got for now.

Battle of Guantanamo Bay
Insurgent forces secretly sneaked in the county of cuba with its help in an attempt to free their captured allies. They have taken the north gate by surprise and already in control of it. The US must regain its lost territory and eliminate the opposing forces. I am not a good story writer but if the insurgents move forward, US forces will have no other choice but to flee to the carrier.

Pacific Islands:
USMC / PLA
Both start on their own carriers, each must capture a series of small islands. Water/Air based combat, with a smattering of island jungle ground combat.
Use ... none expect for a change of style and scenery.
Alaska:
USMC/PLA
US must defend against as PLA attack in the snowy plains of Alaska, where the PLA intend to forcefully aquire a rather large oil reserve recently found.
Use: Change of scenery + The US have to defend for once!
Training Grounds:
USMC/BRITS
A joint training excersise between the 2 western countries at an army training base. For realism purposes ... the bullets are made of water ballons that look like real bulltets, and they explode tomatoe sauce on contact, same with tank shells etc.
Use ... we all want to see who is better in a fight!

I highly doubt they use water balloons in training excersises, however might suggest paintballs or blanks.Lothrian wrote:Pacific Islands:

A Mogadishu map would be cool.
2 ideas not based upon any particular place, just things that I think would make for an interesting experience.
(1) Archipelago (for want of a better name) A map with flags dispersed across several small islands with limited transport assets, forcing teams to work on the logistics of getting men from place to place.
(2) The gauntlet (for want of a better name) A single road that runs along the floor of a (fairly) steep-sided valley whose sides are heavily forrested. USMC or British have to hold several villages along the road whilst Chinese forces come (seemingly from nowhere) charging down into the valley from hidden outposts up in the woodland above.
Edit: just saw the Paciffic islands suggestion above, which is kind of similar to my archipelago idea.

maybe a map of the thule airbase on greenland? lots of snow, cliffs and hills and one airbase, usmc or the us army? defending... from an attack of the chinese who has broken through at alaska now seeing to wipe out a part of the defensive missle shield or something...
would really love a map with snow... though i would need new textures for the soliders or even new models
probaly a summer time pic, but do that one as well
