    Hopefully agency has been added back in as a tester before adding to the normal pool at the end of operation. Only so many times a map can be requested... :)

    Congratz everyone involved!

    PS: there's this dickhead posting threads on Reddit claiming he made Zoo. If you see him, feel free to report him. His posts get reported, but he seem to repost again with the same topic name: Hello, I am Tim Eberardo, creator of the map de_zoo. Here are some of the calls, secrets, and hidden locations in my map.

    LOLWTF

    I don't know how much of this anyone might know, or are at liberty to say, but I have a question...

    Is it imperative for maps to have custom content to be included in the operations, or is it more the case that the people capable of creating custom content are just that much better, that they could create a map using stock assets and still be chosen for an operation?

    I'm sure there's an FAQ somewhere regarding this, but not one I can find. It's just that every time a new operation lands I have a pang of motivation to fire up the bellows again. I'm under no illusion that my map will probably never be operation ready, but I want it to match the criteria as closely as possible as best practice for future projects.

    Thanks

    Here's a link where Valve gives some insight in how maps are chosen.

    From that link I would say that custom content isn't required but assumed:

    A good-looking map with a high level of polish that matches the quality of the official maps is a requirement, but a map with an interesting or unique core theme with spaces that feel like a real place, is of significant value.

    Making a interesting or unique location using only stock props and textures?...I think you need a bigger pallet than the one freely provided to you.

    Avoid reddit discussions like it's the fucking plague, people whining and crying because apparently our competitive map-pool is not oversaturated enough alredy, I thought people at Legendary Eagle and higher would atleast understand what I was trying to tell them but nope they were as oblivious as anyone else, either you make a dust2 clone or get shit on and labeled as a cod map for trying to bring something new to the table

    Congratulations to all those elected to this operation, a very special "hug goal" for my friends Gus Squad and Catfood two bigger artists and two good guys :cool:

    So far I haven't seen any complaints, maybe you are looking at the downvotes oblivion A.K.A bottom of the Reddit comments?


    Congrats every1, happy to see the new maps.

    They are bitching how de_rails is bad. Its just reddit attitude. They don't know how hard is to make something enjoyable that is why they are bitching so hard about everything. Gratz again for everyone :)
