I always liked the technique used by Nova Logic in the Delta Force
series, whereby all maps were loaded "on the fly." The base application
had the collection of possible objects and maps were loaded using a
terrain base, the time of day, weather, and object positions. Objects
were keyed by x, y, z coordinates and corresponding rotations (6 DOF).
The down side was that the maps were limited to (IIRC) 1024 objects.
However, it allowed for a tremendous variety of maps and servers.
