MapCore CS:GO Playtesting 2.0

haha, thank you bro So is it bright enough ?

Probably not, but I'll wait until there's more to say for sure

I think we are going to playtest my map later today. But ... don't expect too much from it please ^^' (especially because of gwalior which is definitely much more beautiful)

Count me in~

Guys GUYS !! I really want to join, and with, why not, another iteration of my map.

But GUYS. It's SATURDAY

These are the missing materials on the custom models.

I will write up more detailed feedback about the map later

Yeah Pakrat doesn't add models texture in the bsp automaticly.

I think that we really should make a big playtest session with everyone's map and not only 1 map. I found that the play of yersterday was finally too short =l

Regarding cs_agency. I like the theme, and it has a strong sense of plausibility, with nice clean textures. It took a while to learn the layout, but once it was down, I began to have a lot more fun.

There were some parts that I had trouble with. The main thing was that some of the routes seem to take a long time to get to where you want to go. The route in the garage for example, feels quite long, and if it were to remain as it is, feels like it would need another sub-route going up into the font area of the main reception, just so that it never felt that you were totally committed to pushing on into the lift shaft/deeper T side of the map once you got half way.

The lift shaft itself also feels a bit too hazardous a route, given all the climbing of ladders onto platforms. I saw a couple of players climbing to the very top of the shaft, and not quite having an idea of where to go, then turning back round, and falling down.

One thing I could suggest, though I have no idea if this is fitting with the idea of the map, is to make the main room, which feels like the focal part of the map, more like these images, which could give it a bit less of a rectangular feel. It is a similar style, so I think it could really work if just the bottom and the first floor were playable.

OrnateBaboon's reply made me realise I totally forgot to post further feedback, sorry!

I agree with pretty much everything OB posted already. I would consider removing the underground garage route (or at least make it a lot less long).

At the CT start, I would open up the front doors, it's kinda annoying if you need to manually open the doors (albeit it's only for a split second).

Some doorways seemed kinda narrow. It wasn't a big problem at the playtest because collision was off, but if it'd be on it could be an issue.

Interesting suggestion about the main room. It would make gameplay a lot more interesting if it wasn't just a rectangular shaped room. Plus, it would make it feel like the whole building is a lot larger if one or more floors were visible higher up (but not accessible).

Overall it's a very enjoyable map Looking forward to future updates!

Can't make it tonight, but I'd love to have a go with it with offline play tommorow or so. Can you provide a download link?

Gah can't tonight :G~maybe have one early next week?
