    Every thing in your map follows the lines of the hammer 2D top grid. It's easy to notice it and it makes the gameplay a bit too much predictable, it should be more natural.There is also an important concept in de_ maps that it seems you know but you should work a bit more on it : there must be rooms and corridors. By room, i don't mean you have to make inside rooms, it's just the concept of an open area. Between each rooms, there are the corridors.What i mean is that it's not always easy to determine what is a room and what is a corridor in your map, every thing is a bit tight, even the bombsites. Maybe you could try to enlarge some areas to make it more obvious. I like the verticality you have in the middle, it makes it very fun to play. But ... good luck to make it credible in terms of architectural structure

    I will 100% have a map for tuesdays test. Are we still on for the regular time?


    I am making this post merely to hold myself accountable for getting the map into a playable state asap.

    Barely anyone showed up to the last playtest.


    Yeah, that happens sometimes. Then the week after, it might be a full server. Luck of the draw!


    Hopefully there were enough players so you could get some useful information from the test.

    I want to say Stranger thanks for his notice about this tread!

    Also, I want to put into playtesting today (Sundays at 21:00).


    Sure thing. I hope you get some helpful feedback.


    I also have a map ready, so if no one else had resquested a Sunday slot. I'll have a download link up soon.

    Okay guys here we go

    Things I sent out to accomplish with this map:

    -Train-esque bombsite A in the map's "mid" that is several times larger than a normal bombsite

    -More vertical gameplay elements than most DE maps

    -Design that immediately orients the player so no one ever gets lost

    -A layout that has immediately recognizable bombsite locations

    -Other minor things I dont feel like typing out

    it doesn't look like a real place at all, architecture is very unbelievable for an industrial setting but it can be resolved if layout works i suppose. there's some very big differences in height though, looks a lot more appropriate for tf2 than cs atm

    CS players fear change more than old men.


    But seriously, why even bother commenting on the realism of a map when its barely even the first alpha? I mean thats a bit absurd.


    WHAT POWER PLANT HAS GREY WALLS I MEAN COME ON

    I'm certainly no architect, but I ran around in your map last night and thought is geometry was pretty interesting. Definitely a lot of open space, but lots of great cs maps make open spaces feel safe just by strategic placement of cover. Looking forward to seeing how it plays.
