The last time I used the unreal editor and tools was back in the days of the original Unreal Tournament. I started with something small that I knew... My old house (my then studio apartment would just not cut it for a death match).

It's a bit uninspired and bland, but It does a good job (for me anyway) of helping visualize the game world that you can directly correlate to the real world. It also helps give you a benchmark in terms of what real world scale looks like in game and helps define the kinds of dramatic enhancements and fudging to make something fun vs. realistic.

That and testing a level where you get to blast apart things in a former residence is oddly satisfying.
