For a remake of tfc's murderball, or a murderball esque game.
This is a rough idea of what the map would look like from the outside.
(Note it's positioned on top of a mountain with gondoliers going to
each base, these are the respawns.)

This is where the "ball" would be kept, also, as you can tell, this would easily be turned into a arena map as well.

(The tesla coil is going to be taller)
The idea I've been toying with instead of it just being flat out
murderball is to have it so that you can "activate" the intelligence so
to speak, which while not only netting your team a point, would also
kill the other team with the coil. This would obviously have to be on a
timer of some sort (i.e. takes 10 seconds to activate, you can't move
or fire while doing so.)
The intel is surrounded by glass that will rise up when the intel becomes available for capture.
The plan is to have a fairly large middle section. I was just super
tired and couldn't think of anything, so I just doodled a building in.
lol.
Also, the game mode could be called Weapon of Mass Destruction, or
something to that effect. Which opens the possibility of a whole bunch
of maps centered around some big doomsday weapon and both teams trying
to take control of it.
The basic backstory I thought up when I came up with the map idea was
that long ago some science institution (not naming names *cough*
aperture *cough*) invented this weapon in their secret lab on top of
the mountain, both Blu and Red found out about it and set forward
basses (adding the ground where need be) up on the mountain as well.
I'm going to add giant fans behind Red as their power source, since Blu has the industrial smokestacks.
If I go with the activated point gain system, the intel will be reset
and the glass will not raise for 30 seconds (giving the other team time
to respawn, but still giving the team that scored the point a slight
edge.)
First to 3 (or 5) points wins the round.
/discuss.
Also, the gondoliers have rockets on them.
