so, a new CS:S map from valve

i get like 25 fps on that map with 16+ people = no win

You are getting FREE. QUALITY. CONTENT.

The gameplay is not going to get better with more player models.

Yup. I like the game better with only one player model for each team. It's less confusing to someone like me who doesn't play CS enough to instantly recognize, out of 8 or 10 skins, who's a T or a CT. Besides, more player models/skins = more memory consumed.

Personally i'm a fan of the new map. I like the colors alot, and it plays pretty well, mainly like it because its something new to me because i never played the CZ version.

Quote from Backslider

Its too cluttered IMO. I was constantly sticking on either a model or highly exagerated wall designs. I mean do you really think they needed a pillar every 2 meters in each wall. And call me a NOOB if you must, but where the hell is this place, it looks like disneyland.+ Fun

+ Looks great

+ Not bad layout

- Too many props

- Wall supports in hall ways are OVERDONE

- A bit cartoonish

This sums it up for me pretty well. It can be fun at times, but it doesn't play very well, i really doubt this map is gonna be any popular. I mean shotguns are fun, but when it comes to serious gameplay, this map is a big no-no. I like the look from an artistic point of view, but the map fails when i run a reality check. "Where is this place" is exactly what i thought. I just hope the enviroments in CS2 will be more live-like, it would be good because it would be more convincing, and players would be more dragged into the game.

- Not enough crates

Indeed.

Finally got to play this map, and I must say... it owns.

I love the fast and varied gameplay it has, and it looks sexy as hell.

Kind of confusing at start. But it looks good and plays good.

Good job Turtlerock guys

Well the solution to that is to have the same body with many varied heads and then do different styles per climate and stuff

desert

snow

urban

etc

gearbox cz had this ::

I like de_tides, visually and gameplay vise. Great map!

I finally played it yesterday.

What backslider said, map is too cramped and only has close quarters combat. Its too fast for any tactics

De_colonial:source. Looks awesome btw, but I'm afraid it is not that nice to play.

And so, another new CS:S map: cs_compound.

This one is a bit more... meh, imo. Theme has been done a billion and a half times, and the building architecture/geometry is bland and boring.

haha I thought that was a joke before I opened steam, doesnt look very 'valve quality'. I'll have to check it out... because it looks really weird.

yeah totally looks like "my first map" with hl2

yawn x 1000

Aye, pretty damn unoriginal. Reminds me of Assault :G

But it might play well so I wont jump to conclusions
