Map Name:KF-Resistance
Description of map: Resistance takes place in the lower side of a corporate Dam, near a forest separated in two by the river from the Dam.
As cities were becoming more and more dangerous for the human population, and the DRF were slow to employ forces, many civilians setup outpost camps. These brave civilians sacrificed their lives to protect their families where the government failed to.
Outposts are quickly and poorly constructed, much like a Ghetto, you begin to see the severity the war has on people and how they have had to adapt in order to survive. Money soon becomes worthless, and mayhem spreads. Many outposts are built in poor locations, and quickly become overwhelmed. The Resistance, as they name themselves communicated independently of the DRF and looked out for themselves. The Outpost "Hope", is one of the last lines before the main city, "Purity". "Hope" has a strategical advantage of being close to a corporate building, and therefore having good supply, and being near a forest for quick escape. You and your squad are sent to Outpost Hope to try and communicate with these civilians and gather info as to the location of the Outpost City. Rescuing Survivors is not an objective.
Further Detail: This is TL;DR stuff btw...I was hoping to expand this to much more than a map for example, this map would be the first in a series of maps.
The Resistance are a highly religious group. A big contrast to the Government's scientific routes. They believe the outbreak is a punishment, where hell has literally opened. They are a dangerous group, and although they are civilians and you mant want to save them, they may not be that generous back to you.
The first map is not heavily story orientated, anyone can jump in and wallynally around, KF should be kept simple but entertaining. However I can see a lot of routes I can go with this concept, and I would want to take it further beyond this map, think of a campaign, an expansion pack, a total conversion, that kinda thing.
The idea came from a variety of sources, the vividness of the forests came into mind by watching Pans Labyrinth, other story elements come from other sources including games, books and films. I wanted to create something unique and engaging. I'm aiming to submit this map to the Mapping Competition. If its in anyways successful, I'll continue the planned series.
What help is wanted:
I'm doing most of everything myself, from level design, to texturing and modelling. And I've got the story pretty wrapped up. The only help needed would be small bits of coding. Contact me if you are interested in any area of development however.

I REALLY need to play KF more...
Sorry for the lack of pictures, actual map pictures to come. I'm quite a perfectionist when it comes to map design and I don't want to show much yet, stay tuned
EDIT: Interesting fact, My favourite band is Muse. Their new album is coming out called The Resistance. The album is coming out in September, when this map is due to be released. Coincedence? My name is also Matt, the lead singer is named Matt. Too much things adding up here, I swear I thought of the idea first.
