I've got a great layout of a map. Think the grand canyon's ravine and the cave sections are hollowed out and there's a base on top. Well, i finished the first 2 floors i had planned for the hollowed out portion, and i got to the third one. I originally got the majority of my design ideas from parts of Meet the Spy. (when the spy kills the engineer.) I was wondering, should i continue the theme and copy the basement bit of 2fort, which actually would work for my map, or should i come up with something original and throw away my theme?
Great map setup! But should I copy?

im assuming you're saying to the copying
that's what i was thinking, i just wanted to get some input from others. Now, i just need to design something interesting for that floor =/

Yes... yes it is...
thats what i have decided to do
Ya, dont copy. The only thing that I ever copy from maps are stairs. I hate making them myself lol.
Copying such things are often fine as they take alot of work and nobody would notice and actualy even care as you still use the stairs your own way. Such thing is just like using a prop from a valve map.
Just dont copy areas. Even cloning a general layout gameplay wise cant be good. A map should clearly show your input or people will find it a bit too much like an imitation.
