This article was brought to my attention recently. The guy is obviously highly taleneted and we'd all do well to take a leaf out of his book. If you're getting ready to make an ET map and you want it to kick RRRs then follow this guy's lead and you'll be off to a good start.

Nice article. Certainly something everyone should consider before the ET tools come out. Good planning = a good foundation for a map.

From the Article:

Do whatever you think will help you get in touch with the spirit of the project...don't just play other games, get yourself some camouflage pants and paint ball gun and see what it feels like to be in the thick of combat.
