map suggestion based on "when a stranger calls" movie

[Gawain]

i don't know if you know this thriller, but it features one of the most beautiful mansions i've seen so far.

and the best thing about it: it would perfectly fit for svm gameplay:
-big enough playground: villa with 3 floors, guesthouse, garden, gateway etc
-great mood because of very stylish architecture with lots of big windows, wood, zen garden, water etc
-movie already shows ideal lightning for a svm map in the night scenes
-movie involves interesting gameplay ideas: motion sensors activating room lights, alarm system which can be deactivated at the main door, sprinklers at the zen garden for visual and sound cover, etc

for those of you who don't know it, i've packed some screenshots into a little rar and uploaded it to rapidshare: http://rapidshare.de/files/46760655/mapsuggestion.rar.html

i'd love to hear some feedback, especially from zedblade. imo this would be a great 2nd map next to his first masterpiece.

It seems a little too tight from looks, but after a couple of tweaks it would be awesome.
Now I only have to get the movie to see how It actually is layed out ::)

i thought that, too, in the beginning, but i think it's just fine considering the outside area as additional playground (garden+guest house+gateway). and even if it's too small, there's still the possibility of making it a 1on1 map (which could be fun to find out who's really the better one of two, or maybe even as the tutorial and a 1on1 training map?).

the movie story is quite predictable/boring, but it's realized freakin great visually, so decide on your own if it's worth spending your time on it...
btw, i love your sig  :D

I think the idea is already too close to the existing lake house map.

need some environmental variety

[Gawain]

so don't place it at a lake oO

[OConnor]

Just the whole house/mansion deal cant be too repetitive

Need like a public place of some sort like a station: airport, train, subway

or like a big public building hotel, mall, office etc.

Mix it up.

We're currently focussing on Lakehouse. Other map ideas are not needed at the moment. We're already overloaded. :P

If you have a great idea, you can make it yourself in UT3. When our PS Editor is complete, you'll be able to port it over.

[Tidenburg]

Can we expect the PS Editor before the PS Beta?

[frvge]

It's hard to really give an indication. It's stiill far from feature-complete. I really don't have a clue.

Great idea.  I always wished you could turn on sprinklers in club house (garden) for sound cover - i mean, it's a freakin garden after all.
