Maybe a slightly futuristic city theme - Bladerunneresque.

I would always love to see Uptown having more indoor actions but since you said you don't want to change the Layout too much i wont bother going into details (:

Go for it and have some fun.

I Think it should stay modern, Here is a new idea that i came up with:

A Mall
I know it may be a long shot but i felt like the map could need some more indoors, Plus become a little bit bigger.
Also this would make more sense to why there would be a garage located there on the map.

Here is an album on how it could look (Yes my PS skillz is amazing ;D)

This is how it could look inside: Click Here

This would also bring more life to the whole "UPTOWN" feel, since now it does not really feel like very uptown to me :P

make the large roof between garage and laundro accessible again and the small roof on top of the garage accessible with a highly skilled jump and not the impossible jump required to get up there without help.

make the garden/diner area more like a high class restaurant

What about redoing the classic map streets?

More high spots in maps that require teammates to help would be interesting for competitive play.

I'm sure there will be more ideas as the new imagining is developed.

That sounds like a big game-changing alteration to me that makes it easy to spawn camp from the roof. Why would you make that accessible?

I'll consider that. I think that would give the red team a huge advantage though.

Good idea.

Also a quite interesting idea.

Sorry for spamming but here is some sketches on how my mall idea could look like:Click Here :)
I might think that having like an tunnel/hallway going from: Laundromat backstreet to: Garage Entrance street. would also be an idea. But to prevent sniping we would need Doors.

It is possible with a highly skilled jump c;

That is exaclty the jump he was talking about, its not viable at all for normal gameplay.

I always feel that red team has a slight advantage when it comes to flag caps. for blue, their flag is kind of hidden off to the side, whereas for red team, it is right in front of their spawn making it harder to take. Not to mention that red can take blues flag and get into garage in like 2 seconds, where blue has to take flag, and jump down to street, or run through hotel, both are quite active areas. Also, in terms of spawncamping, it is much easier for red to camp blue because there are 2 windows to shoot at blue spawn from and also from the top of garage.

All this is for CTF, there could be things I say that could unbalance it for TS or bomb.

Oh i thought he meant it was impossible to get there without help. It is a highly skilled jump, to say it's impossible is wrong because if it was it wouldn't have been done..

Let's not forget that when HD comes out, the general player skill can be higher than it currently is. What is "normal" now, is maybe different then. Another thing to keep in mind is that UrT may see the addition of more advanced movement, possibly creating new and easier ways to get up there.

I know 2 effective jumps that let's me cap in 6/7 seconds, the fastest i can cap on red is 11. If we are excluding jumping as part of the gameplay then yes, red has the advantage. Jumping is a part of the gameplay and due to jump mode and it's rise in popularity, we can expect that it is something most players will learn.
