MapCore CS:GO Playtesting 3.0

thanks for the hint stranger. i got it brighter and toned down the textures saturation.

once more an update http://www.mediafire.com/download/e65vn…a1_brightup.rar

looking forward to the playtest (also puddy's layout)

Ok, small update: I renamed the map to de_core_v01b for the different map issue.

Also I fixed the overview to work with this map name.

I kinda liked Twinstar after a while but it definitely needs to be scaled way the hell down.

Damn that's annoying. Ah well, looking forward to tomorrow.

I enjoyed Twinstar, but it seemed way too big. I liked it though, I think it's going to be quite good fun. Try cutting down some of the superfluous routes, especially round the back of A.

i'm really happy that so many people showed up and gave twinstar a run. to sum up the feedback so far: IT'S TOO BIG!

stupid me: i was kind of thrilled to see real people play the map for once so that i used the team chat all the time.

I'll try to get a new mic for tomorrow's test.

so thanks again for playing

I enjoyed it Puddy, feels like it has the potential to go somewhere.

Few notes:

• Right route feels underused for Ts at start, making bomb site B hard to get to. Perhaps curve the route slightly to let them get there quicker to match CTs.
• T start feels flat.. Just a bit boring to run around. Perhaps it should start on an incline to give further impression of verticality?
• Middle area is slightly confusing. I think a lot of people felt this. Feels quite mazelike.
• CT area behind restaurant is hardly used, perhaps this can be integrated a bit better. Not sure how!
• Really like left route with cliff top part. Bomb site A feels good too, I like hiding behind the mortar bags. I think area needs defining a bit more.

I enjoyed Cliff. Only issues was T's route to B being way too exposed and Mid being waaaaay too biased against the Ts.

As for being able to throw the bomb in the water, there is a workaround. You can use a physics clip around the map and a filter so that everything can pass through it except the bomb. If you wish, I can go into the more depth at a later time.

some places are really narrow - especially this part:

but like you said it could be better in 5on5.

also i wonder if cts should be able to do this:

it could be too much of an advantage i think.

overall it was really fun. but it could use some variations in the height of buildings (some could be lower).

Maybe add a clear boosting area for terrorists in middle (where the second yellow car is) Combine this with a better Right Side Terrorist route and I think middle would certainly be a better option for terrorists.

That doesn't stop people jumping off though does it?

Nope. But at least it stops the bomb from falling into the water when dropped upon death.

There's probably a work around to teleport the C4 back to T Spawn when it hits a trigger brush. I might investigate as I need to do it in my map as well.

I like how I'm in both of those pictures. =D

Anyways on to feedback:

I liked the layout, especially around A. I felt like it was way too hard for Ts to get to B, maybe they should reach that inclined route before CTs? In mid, change it to stairs or a ramp, something easier than a car jump to get to the balcony room. Also move the other car in mid closer to the wall so it's easier to boost on.

I enjoyed cliffs, layout seemed like it was on the right track. My major gripes were the cramped corridors, mid seemed awkward and unfair to Ts, and the map name didn't reflect that it appeared to take place in a Greek town.

Just so you guys know, this is the sort of feel we're going for, visually:
