Dude, you may aswell give up. With such an additude you wont ever create that map, and your just consuming other peoples time.

Be creative. not lazy. Do it yourself, and only ask questions when your stuck. Your basicly asking others to make you a map with your name on it.

Saint in other words..
do it yourself lazy ***

or, why not do it yourself? cause then you get in your map what you want, in stead doing things other people like to see, do in a map instead of you

You can do it on your own, just takes a good idea, we've (me and a mate) been working onit +6 months now, but the original idea/inspiration and drawings were made in 2 days after work.
So think of what's lacking in the current selection, or what works and build on that and start drawing, or take something you know (a building perhaps) and start trying to think of it like a map and adjust your ideas accordingly.

Perhaps make a thread here (or in the correct section) and post the resulting drawing and then ask for feedback and input, but you'll have to be the one that kicks things off, otherwise like previously mentioned above it will just come off as lazy. :D

The last maps that I made were for Duke Nukem 3D on the infamous Build engine. Wasn't too hard to be honest.

Never done proper 3D maps before :?

I don't think anyone is willing to put effort into slapping a complete layout together for you without first knowing that the result will be good.

If you have the knowledge, you could port an existing TFC map.

Hahaha, well it really comes down to the graphics side, if you use all of valve's assets (models/textures) then it's definitely half that, but we wanted to create some new things and get away from the brown western/industrial look, also accompanied by the fact how visually complex you want to make it, for example a map like turbine is basicly entirely mirrored with only a minute change of textures,and basic lighting, i can imagine doing that in 1 to 2 months entirely with all the logic behind it.
Also keep in mind that the 6 months is with a fulltime job next to it :D
With a bit of luck ill be able to show some screenshots next week followed up by an actual beta of the map the week after.
