    I like to overall look but I think it's too clean. Of course it would be illogical for a zoo to be a mess but it could benefit from some stains, water damage, cracks, a bit of litter. Something to distract. Also, the second shot needs more chairs and tables. Now they look lonely and out of place.

    I'm not a fan of the big target decals. Might be better to work in a special signs of animals that leads you to the site. For example Alligator for A site, and Bear for B.

    You're right about the cleanliness, I'll do something about it.

    About the second shot, it's not a cafe terrace, just supposed to be a table where a few employees of the zoo were having a small break.

    Interesting idea, as long as it would be very obvious that these animal signs refer to bombsite A or B.


    Thanks for all the feedback so far everyone!

    Yeah, I figured as much, but still looks out of place though. Perhaps a sign or something that says personnel only, smoking area or something like that. Maybe it's just me but the minute I saw that screenshot it was the first thing that came to mind. Which is a waste, since there's so much cool stuff going on.

    Clarity is key imho. You could try to create signs where the A/B letter is CLEARLY emphasized if you want things to be a bit more subtle. For example, "Aquatic Area" (which B is atm but could be switched) and "Birds" or something. Or just that the zoo is divided into areas which are designated a letter. So a sign would say something like [A] Aquatic animals, terrariums etc, Mammals. Would be cool to have a map of the zoo as part of the level at T spawn (with bombsites marked with marker pen)?

    A cutout of this would be great.

    If you mean Taronga Zoo, then yeah, it's one of the references I used, but there's at least half a dozen other zoo's I used as a reference.

    The rocks are all displacements in these shots, except for the small piece of rock in the river in the first shot.
