Building my first map. What you think?

Hi guys.

READ:

First off, this is my first ever map I am building just for fun.
I don’t know anything about mapping or what makes a good “map” I just make one that I think look cool
I leave the rest to the community in here that I think have both more experience and knowledge and that can help.

So…The glass building (A) I think off giving a horse show design away from each other with a garden in each of the inner rings with trees and stuff and where the “goal” in bomb run is. The other building other side (B) will look almost the same but I will change it up a bit because right now its just copy and paste.

Changes:

Stairs will become two ramps going down with space in between and possible heal underneath.
The whole middle section I am very unsure off. I can continue but I can also scrap the whole thing and build a huge hall of some sort with ramps / cover inside.
(Remember this is a bombing run map so bigger spaces between cover is needed (if I remember correctly from the maps I played).

If I keep the “open” courtyard I think of giving it 2 ramps going up N and S into a T section splitting it up and back into the end of the rooms of A /B
Maybe ad one to three rooms up steers at the T section and also building a lower area of the guarden acceceble if you continute on taking the hp? potions under the ramps going down from glass buildings.

The corridors(glass buildings) will get wider, aprox 10m is what i think right now.

The buildings will not be glass all the way around. Its just the “front” that has it but I also think of changing it so not every class has it.

If you say the map don’t look any good what so ever after both reading and looking the pictures I will scrap it but also please tell me
What I should think of when I make a new one. UE4 is rely fun to work in I noticed so I will make more.



Looking good!
