What about Orbital ?

i think someone is already doing an orbital conversion/themed map.

I hadn't really thought of TS. I really miss that game mode but nobody ever plays it these days. Probably has something to do with having to wait for a round to end before respawning. It used to be the game mode that all the pro's played. Rambetter's wTf TS server used to be full for hours every night. I miss those days.

I can't find the video anymore of the Orbital map, but I couldn't recognize the layout, only the theme of it. So, it's only theme, not layout.

Another map, which I think has to be converted by someone, because it has such an interesting layout, is Sanctuary. Unlike other maps, it's circular in TS, which makes for really interesting and different strategies.

ut4_sanc is especially fun as a snipers only map. It has nice long sniping lanes and while there is always cover, there isn't really a spot where you can camp and snipe, you are always open from one side or another. Also lobbing nades across the middle wall is always fun. :P

There is the one place next to the birdbath near the missile silo you can crouch and most people will walk right by you.

Well you have the choice of many maps to convert, but it all depends on, if you can reach the owner and get permission to do it.

But wasn't Nevada a workaround on that, until they got in contact and got permission? So, even though it's preferable, it's always possible to take the layout, which is the only really important thing.

You can make a map from scratch with the same layout, as the original map maker has his rights over his .map file. Though what can you change in Swim except maybe expanding it?
