[?] Mapping Ideas?

I am currently trying to learn how to make BF2/PR maps/levels, and was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to locations, a scenario, or a map for example, infantry/armor/flight training.

Any and all ideas are appreciated.

Just do somewhere familiar, or somewhere yo enjoy going. OR somewhere that has a conflict or had one.

IMO I guess a non coastal area would be good, just because we have so many maps like that already :P maybe a tropical one?

It would be his first map, I guess it will be alot of trial and errors. It took me 2 scrapped maps before learning mapping properly :razz: , so I think he should try making small BF2 maps first and test them ingame.

Okay heres a suggestion:

Make a smaller map. Dont be a nublet like me and foolishly dive into PR size maps immediately. First make a 512x512 map so you can actually grasp shit before heading out for the real deal

You can take this as advice if you wish but I am just making a suggestion here.

That's my plan. Right now, I am just fiddling with the editor, but my first real map idea is an INF type BF2 map near Cheyenne Mt.
