- japanese style (I can only think of one map, the 3w Japan ctf)

- architecture of the future as seen through the eyes of a 50s sci-fi pulp novel cover artist (i.e. all curves and domes and shit)

- Venice/Siena/medieval Italian hill town style, full of winding lanes and little bridges.

- undersea base

- map based on human organs, like ctf with one flag in the mouth, the other in the sphincter

Levellord did a map that looked like a naked chick.. you could see boobs and ass in the architecture.. it was hillarious. Not realistic - and certainly not set 'inside' a person, but I thought id go ahead and mention it anyway I guess that could also count as a comedy map tho

I had a weird idea once of doing an entire level set in a gigantic tree (redwood?). There could be wooden ramps and a few small treehouse structures. The branches and leaves could be used to provide additional cover. I am still at a fairly low skill level with the editor, so I couldn't pull this off, but maybe someone else already has.

Creating a map inside of a moving vehicle would be cool...Might even make some decent gameplay between seats and stuff?

edit1: And if you hit the radio in some way, the music changes...
edit2: And when you hit the steering wheel the care moves, causing the map to jump...

Like this:

How about an old school Buck Rogers kind of futuristic map... with Van de Graf generators, flying saucers, ray guns, dynamos and that Lost in Space robot thing... "Danger, danger, Mr. Robinson!"

I've thought of doing this one myself once... the inside of a clock with a bunch of rotating cogs and sprockets, swinging pendulums, chains moving up and down as elevators.

lol yeah, CTF in a mosque, where every flag capture flushes an md3 Qu'ran down the toilet bwahahahahahahaaaahuehdeudih8233h

Frankly, I don't find this funny.

It wasn't supposed to be funny, and thanks for missing the whole point of that remark, which was to draw attention to the fact that making Islamic looking Q3A maps might be considered offensive to Muslims in the current climate.

Hey, screw you buddy

Chinese architecture (which is the source for the Japanese). I know of one map based on this, but there are other things you could do such as a hutong map which would be the rough equivalent of the Italian town map. Hutongs are districts of narrow alleys, often in quite a confused jumble. The only problem with such a map is that it would be flat because they're all ground floor and no first.

In a similar idea to surgeon62's gigantic tree, you could do the same in a giant pagoda.

Somewhere like the Forbidden City in Beijing would be too large as a single map, but you could use parts of it.

You could perhaps design a CTF map around a couple of siheyuan (courtyard houses) which would be the bases. You could add such features as pailous (ornamental gates).

I actually have a bunch of photos of various Chinese architecture that I took while on vacation. Traditional Chinese architecture is really nice. It's too bad that they're tearing a lot of it down to make "modern" commercial buildings instead.
