Ok, RSE is going to be shortly releasing the map plugins for Rogue Spear to let us start creating our own maps. I want to know what kinds of maps you guys would like to see and what types of idea you have. To share your suggestions, click on the "comments" feature for this post.

Do you remember when the initial talk about the features in UO was released and they started talking about putting some R6 classic maps in with the new UO? I was crossing my finger that we would get Hacienda - and we did. But, even more so, I wanted the Congo! That was the coolest map on the planet to me and I spent two hours today playing it in the old R6 engine. I just wish somebody would port that thing over! There were plenty of great maps in R6 - even the Oil Rig! ------------------

For myself, I have a couple of custom maps I'd love to see: 1) The Clue Mansion, including the secret passages. (Ding Chavez did it in the Ballroom with the M16. Or was it Homer Johnson in the Library with the frag grenade?) 2) A large outdoor field, with dunes, a few foxholes, and such. No bunkers, just trees. 3) A Town square, with roads on all four sides. The roads would have traffic. On the other side the roads, you would have two storey buildings. Add a bunch of civies. Essentially, I'm thinking of a sting operation, with operatives coming out of the buildings, crossing the street, and apprehending suspects without losing bystanders, or getting run over. 4) A Dance club, with strobe lights, loud dance music, and crowded with civies. 5) The deck of an aircraft carrier, including helos, planes, and the con tower. ------------------

Faryn, I like your idea about the aircraft carrier. I would like to see the entire R6/EW campaign redone, including all the briefings and stuff (R6 had the BEST story...). I really wish they would have put the Embassy and the Airport into UO...but oh well. If they can be ported, that would rule! I'm sure everyone would like to see their own house in the game (I do). I also think it would be awesome if someone could make all the GoldenEye N64 maps in Rogue Spear (I know there is a GoldenEye mod out there). That was my favorite game for over a year until R6 came out! Some cool maps I'm thinking of right now would be a Suddam Hussien assassination in the Middle East, a submarine (REALLY tight quarters), and a drug bust mission in Columbia (kinda like Clear and Present Danger...) ------------------

Hey Harvester. I like your idea pretty well. I only played GoldenEye once at a friend's house, but it was a pretty fun game. For R6, there was an addon mission that you got to kill Saddam on the Killhouse map. You could get it at: http://come.to/Lloydsmods I thought it was pretty cool but when I saw nobody knew it was out, I was sadly disappointed. I think we should get ALL of the R6 and EW maps ported back including PC Gamer. Then we can stert work on our own little masterpieces. I have the whole R6 series except Covert Ops. Since Covert Ops can be added as a mod and yall plan to port some maps to RS/UO, then they should be compatible with Covert Ops, right? Well, I have one main request for a map. I would like to see a map that looks like the beaches of Normandy. It would go GREAT with the WW2 mod. If any of you have seen the movie "Saving Private Ryan" you know what they look like and you can get to work! Well, I'll be on the Zone under this nickname if ya wanna ZM me. Adios! *MajGen* Storm Rocker ------------------

A map like the scene of Heat. Where a large and wide avenue, packed with cars, is the background of a running gun battle. Where cover fire from your team is needed to go forwards from car to car(as demonstrated in the movie by Robert de Niro and Val Kilmer) the map should feature skyscrapers and cars, parkbenches, large bankbuilding and fountains. No possibility to go indoors and no high positions. Can't picture it? check the movie Heat, where they just robbed the bank and went outside, ending up shooting their way thru this avenue... ------------------

YES, the Heat bank robbery sequence are a must! Imagine it in multiplayer games!?!?! And outdoor environments too. Oh, how large could be a map? ------------------

I think a very cool map could be like this: (keep in mind this may take a while to load, would be as big as Nuclear Power Plant) The map would be like Hotel & Crashed Bus, there would be a street, as mentioned in a previous message, there could be 4 buildings, say 5 stories each? Maybe 4? However many you can do with minimal load time.... make these buildings have windows for snipers, hallways for good gunfights, desks, cubicles, the works, it'd be an office building, and then add in civies, night time, and rain, this would make an awesome map, but I’m not sure if it would work out. Also, if you could make the map have working elevators (yes I said, WORKING, but only if you can) also add like a bridge between the buildings, you know the kinds that cross over the streets at hospitals and stuff? Something like that, maybe even the map could be a hospital, well that’s my idea, try to make this if you can, if not, oh well. If you can this would be so awesome though, but it may have big load time as i mentioned.... thanks for your time ------------------

Hey, well I've wanted to do this for a LONG TIME beofre EW even came out, have a water park, with diving boards that you can snip off of, a HUGE WATER SLIDE that you could snip off of, a tikki bar, an arcade, gotta have a "lazy River", wave pool, and like just a bunch of other stuff... Another map I would want would be a Military training map, like a real one... with a shooting range, rope course, big swap, woods, baraks, kitchen... pretty much a military base.
o well those are my ideas ------------------

I, too, would love to see some large outdoor maps for sniping. The problem is, according to John at RSE, you need to keep the number of visible polygons down around a certain level. This makes it tough to make large outdoor maps that let you see alot at once. I have some ideas in mind for how to work with the limit to make some good long-range maps, but until I and others get the plugins, we won't know how possible it really is. ------------------

The big thing here will be to gather the maps into a single mod. So, when we play, we don't have to load a different mod for every new map. Once all of the R6 and EW maps done, the map-makers should get together and make one big mod. To give you an example, look at TAMEC.ORG, which manages maps for TOTAL ANNIHILATION, an RTS game. TAMEC gathers all of the 3rd party tiles, mods, map additions, and puts them into one file (TAMEC.HPI). Maybe a Rogue Spear site should do the same thing. Gather all of the maps into one huge mod. ------------------

Here's something my mod team wanted to do but is too big for the number of players allowed in Rogue Spear. The Hoover Dam. with parallel sides on the bottom of the dam with a line of generators on both sides. Stairs leading up to sniping spots with windows outlooking in the stairs occasionally. Then, the top of the dam will be like a sniping spot like in castle but will be harder because of the distance. Since the map is too big, well, nevermind... ------------------

Sorry, I'm a little behind on this plug in. It is for 3D Studio Max only right? ------------------

A Las Vegas Casino ... the new Aladin would be good, central casino w/ a mall around it. A large theater (2-4 levels counting booths and scaffolds). I can get a diagram from the casino. Only thing needed is to change the name (legal yada yada stuff). Another is a football stadium. Crouch to stay below seats for movement and long ranges to snipe across the field. Tunnels could tie the two sides together. ------------------

quick question, if we don't have UO, its unlikely that people will release the mod for RS right? (because of the poor implementation of the mods folder). ------------------

I have an idea for a 4-part series. OPERATION SWIFT JUSTICE Mission 1: OPERATION COLE The mission would begin in the harbor area. A damaged USS Cole would be seen in the harbor (complete with damage). There would be many innocent bystanders on the street. A few "look-out" terrorists would be patrolling the street, set to run for help if they spot any members of the RAINBOW team. They can be either eliminated (without alerting others) or avoided. The mission objective would be to capture the leader. Mission 2: OPERATION TOMCAT Mission 3: OPERATION SEAWOLF In this mission, the RAINBOW team aboard Seawolf awakens to sounds of gunfire. Apparently, an unknown number of crew members have taken over the submarine. (Note to designers: try only 6-7 rogue crew members.) Some are holding the bridge crew hostage, others are prepared to blow the reactor if approached. RAINBOW must eliminate the rogue crew without loss of Seawolf or her captain if the assault on Basra will be able to continue. Mission 4: OPERATION REVENGE --- I know these ideas are grand, and my descriptions verbose. Hopefully, though, someone will think this is doable and take it on. ------------------

Personally i think you should make a couple downtown area maps(i.e.-Downtown L.A.,Downtown New York).I think they would be enjoyable.They would be even better if they were like 5-10 stories in each building!

1) Airport : Better than the ones now... With more room inside the concorse and at least 1 or 2 747s connected to the concorse. 2) WWI Trench Warfare : 2 or so trenches on each side with steps so you can advance from trench to trench. 3) Neighborhood War : 2 or 3 connecting streets with houses to run around in, and of course, traffic 4) Office Building : With cubicles, offices, breakroom, etc. ------------------

How about the Hereford hospital, from the book? Complete with a running away truck to shoot into pieces with the Barret. Or what about a map featuring No. 16 Princess Gate? I've always been wondering why RSE haven't made a scenario with Operation Nimrod... Of course, it won't be complete as we can't rapell but... ------------------

If anyone has ever seen "Who Dares Wins" the main building @ the end. That would be pretty cool, although it would be very much like the embassy map. (not saying theres nothing wrong with the embassy map, its just it would be to similar)    ------------------

What would be neat, is a sewer map, where they have rats in it like SWAT 3 does, of course I doubt anyone can make them move and blow up when u shoot them in RS, Its actually what I would consider impossible. Well in the sewer, we could have water flowing, pips sticking out of wall with water comin out. That be neat. ------------------

You don't have to look very far for great map ideas. Counter-Strike for Half Life and Tac Ops for Unreal Tourn. have great multi-player maps. Conversion of Vegas, Dust, Dune, and others would rock on Orban Ops. ------------------

You know what the ultimate map would be? its a challenging one but after i heard about it in the Rainbow Six novel, it sounds awesome. Make an amusment park map. Think about it. Tons of peeps, moving roller costers, haunted houses, buch of stuff that can confuse players. may sound dumb but if they made it in the next RS game, i would buy it just for that! RR - EnEmA (MPlayer name) ------------------

Maybe with the new plug-in you will be able to import all of the other original rainbow six and eagle watch maps. This would give us some different maps to play almost as soon as the plug-ins are released. ------------------

I THINK YOU SHOULD MAKE A MAP LIKE A CACINO. IT SHOULD HAVE A BUNCH OF CIVIES RUNNING AROUND GAMBLING. AND IT SHOULD HAVE THEATERS LIKE BRODWAY...MAYBE WITH DANCERS! IT SHOULD HAVE A BAR TOO. THEN U GO UPSTAIRS TO THE HOTEL ROOMS AND MAYBE U COULD GO OUTSIDE TO THE STRIP ------------------

Everybody knows the best maps are the maps that are real...here are some of my idea's... 1.) The white house! i mean R6 is the elite team of anti terrorist right? whats the biggest terrorist act you can think of? you gotta rescue an important hostage. the president (use the president from west wing i dont like bush) 2.) a school, now i know this seems so "Columbine" but everyone who is in highschool now thinks yea if there was a mod like my school, all my friends and i could multiplay there...it would be awsome...even in my school the best snipe spot would be this ledge near the library...LoL (no im not crazy, you know we all want it) 3.) how about a wild west ghost town? why must we all have our new age shit? just like WW2 MOD's what about the wild wild west? Cowboys and indians! 4.) I like everyones Ideas of a city...but it would have to be a very LARGE map to be of my likeing...no body likes a map that you can learn in an hour! i mean i want a map where i can put a stapler on the UP ARROW and come back about 3 mins later and see a different part of the town. (even though it takes long time to load, if you have a fast computer get it...if not...tuff luck!) and one TIP for everyone that knows how to make there own MAPS this it what i would do, cause i did it in DOOM...i made a MAP of my school...yes its hard but dont think you can make one from memory i recomend making a copy of the "Fire Escape Plan" which should be on the doors of all class rooms...thats what i did form JDoom...(JDoom allows you to play doom in 1024x760 or 800x600 (what ever the dimensions are) and it also smooths out the graphics a lot, and 3d renders all the sprites...instead of having your left view, right view, front view, rear view, and 45 angle views of enemys its complete 360 views...basically makes doom look like rouge spear...my friends and i loved it...multiplayer is very fast (only a 14.4 modem required, flys on 56k) so if you want to make a map of your school get a fire escape map on the door of a class... have fun!!) i hope someone uses my ideas (sorry about the long post, but i have a lot of ideas too) ------------------
