If you’re anything like me then a lifetime of playing videogames has imbued you with a hyperactive imagination and terrible, fraught dreams. I’ve lost count of the times that I’ve fought the urge to shoot a CCTV camera, (with a silenced pistol obviously) and there’s a part of me that wants to dive behind anything that looks like it might provide some kind of short-term cover from enemy-fire.
But more powerful even than these is the curious daydreaming fantasy where I turn everyday real-life locations into multiplayer deathmatch maps. Therefore I want to enquire of you, dear readers: Which real-life locations would make awesome multiplayer maps, and why.
My personal favourite (to get the ball rolling) would be the quad back at my old school. I know how to get up into the old clock tower, which would make an excellent sniping-point.
Bung your submissions in the comments box, or post them on Twitter to @electricspectre. If response is good enough then I’ll post the best ones in a shiny-new post later on.
Get that overactive imagination working!

Alton Towers is a great idea.
The full London Underground.
Around Westminster – need to avoid campers in the London Eye! Sniper rifles and ferris wheel would be a fun combo.
Department stores – whizzing up and down stairs to different rooms with all sorts of everyday cover.
Aww Alton Towers. I’m thinking hurling grenades from the top of Oblivion…
Hang on, it’s friday, it’s a question. I’ve seen this idea somewhere before!
Buckingham Palace.
Chicago O’Haire airport – a more idiot-tunnel/blade runner-esque landscape I’ve yet to find…took me 45 minutes to walk to baggage claim.
