Thanks to BTGII, I've finally gotten one of my old maps back: NoobFest Arena.
Basically, it's a giant (5-mile-long) arena. It's entirely empty and can be filled with scenery and vehicles and such for almost any purpose.
In terms of features, it has two animated signs (one displaying the classic dancing Spartan GIF animation, the other showing an intro video for what it was originally built for - a sort of unfair tagging contest), two counting signs (which are manually triggered by standing at the respective end of a viewing box), and two rotating strips for advertisements (because this was for a competition, and there were sponsors).
Anyway, the competition never happened, and the map was eventually lost, but it was always one of the most interesting maps I'd ever made. Since I got it back, I'd like to put it to use. I'm going to be retagging it and replacing textures, but I want to know what I should put in the initial release.
I'll post more information (like a top-down view so you can tell me where to put rocks or other fancy scenery, vehicles, etc.) in a bit.
I have an old video of the first version of the animated sign here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UACXEJiCOYc) (the final has all the frames and looks much better).
