Wow, two weeks is a pretty short deadline to learn how to map. I can suggest a few site that will get you started in the right direction though... At least I think it's the right direction, I seem to be doing okay so far Slipgate - Wink

Bubba's Arena

Quake III Radiant

I don't know about Soldier of Fortune 2, but in Quake III there is a fence texture (It's in Base - Walls I think). You make a brush, put the fence texture on one side, and put a No Draw texture on the remaining five sides Slipgate - Wink

Triggered doors aren't really that hard (again, my knowledge is limited to Quake III), and I believe there is a tutorial on one of those websites I posted earlier in the thread, though they're aimed at Quake III mapping so I don't know how helpful they'll be.

As for destroying items, I have no idea... I know there's a way to make things explode in Quake III (I've seen several barrels do it).

sof2 nd quake3 is almost the same only other weapons and you can make some items (even walls ) only show up in some gametypes .
