My starting concept for the map was to try and create a large Sandbox map that had a similar feel as Headlong from H2. I wanted to create a very large and imposing base that had to be scaled and cleared. I started the map in the base's stairwell which actually does have a similar look to Headlong, but from there I branched out and tried to make something original that lent itself to recreating those epic Headlong base charges.
Coventry was constructed on the main(middle) floor of Sandbox. It is an asymmetric map that was designed with one sided gametypes in mind. The attackers spawn on one sided of the map near the com tower and the defenders spawn inside a massive "base" structure. The top of the base is open and four stories high. Ways up include a three story windowed and enclosed stair well, three tube elevators(each going to a different floor), and an elevated man cannon platform that allows risk taking attackers to launch themselves just over the defensive walls. The cover approaching the base varies and includes a com tower and monitoring station(attacker spawn), The base breaching man cannon tower, and a shielded river path among others. The base towers over the landscape, so be sure to keep an eye out above you as you move in.
