i think you guys should do some portal maps. I'm sure eveyone that has orange box would love a few new maps, full of puzzles. I think it'd be easier to make too, if everyone just comes up with 1 puzzle idea, then chose the best ones and implement them into the map.
Monthly Map?

Yeah! Great Idea! We can submit our ideas in sketch form and stuff, that way the people that can't map can still submit ideas and get them put into the map!

Speaking of mapping...did anyone see the Crysis Sandbox editor? It makes the Hammer editor look like a pile of crap. Not to mention it's way more efficient. Everything updates in real-time. Also you can spawn in-game immediately to test it out. No lengthy compiling or "gambling" on what will work with your map. As a mapper I can't wait for it to come out a long with Crysis. ^_^
Here's a video.

Is it going to be single player or multiplayer or both?
I suggest to make it clear at the start of each project what is expected. Like so:
Game used: (speaks for it self)
SP or MP: (It's best to decide this before it starts)
final date design: (By this date you should have finished your design idea)
notes: (Here you add specific goals, such as use of a certain script/area)
It's easier if you decide these things before hand, as not to have everybody shout the most diverse things. This makes it a bit more neat and ordered. Also you need a jury or a person to pick the design to use. After the design has been choosen create a post with the details and the date/time they have to create it.

Sounds like a great idea XJR, and I wish I could help but sadly, I don't know anything about actual mapping.
Good luck though! I hope you guys can pull this off.

So you're starting of with a Portal map? Because I would suggest you either remove the question mark from the title or start a new thread for the actual Monthly Map kick off. Might start on some puzzle ideas tommorow.
