Re: Battle All Around

Play some mods like Forgotten Hope or the Battle Grounds (revolutionary war) mod for HL2.  They both create a great sense of being in the thick of a ground battle by using area SFX of stuff like tank guns firing occasionally, shouting (sometimes) and the like.

Like ANY effect, the trick is to use these things sparingly.

Re: Battle All Around

Why not add some flying Starfighters that fly above the battlefield in ground battles? I pretty much remember something similar with aircrafts at the Desert Combat mod in a city map.

Agreed. And many of your maps incorporated that nicely.

I'll never forget testing Anchorhead though. To me, that was a great mix of ambience, with great map design.
