MapCore CS:GO Playtesting 4.0

here is the link for the map de_dhaka

Uh, so there is no playtest on 09.05.2014 like

Playtest 08.05.14

• Will2k's DE_Forlorn
• [OPEN]

Playtest 09.05.14

• Sathor's DE_Binnenhof
• [OPEN]

it states here?

I wouldn't be able to participate on 08.05.2014. I'll notify whether we will give up the slot or still find a possibility at least one of us is there.

Sathor, "Playtesting sessions are scheduled on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays", so I imagine the original schedule was an oversight as the 9th is a Friday? I might be wrong though!

Yes, indeed. RZL has already contacted me about that.

I just thought it was an exception.

Anyway, I have to give up the slot on 08.05.2014. Dr. Delta and me discussed it and we both want to be there on playtesting. I really can't make it, so we will have to do it on another date.

will2k, I mentioned most, if not all, of these suggestions to you already, but just for future reference and debate I'll post them here as well

- blue: windows

- red: sightlines

- ugly yellow: changed paths

- Ts have a disadvantage going to mid through the parking lot, mainly because of two reasons: 1) CTs have height advantage (at catwalk) resulting in this case that they can see the legs of Ts coming through before Ts are able to see CTs at all and 2) CTs can just keep Ts entrance covered from the room leading to the upper catwalk (only exposing their heads if positioned well), without actually having to get onto the catwalk where they would expose themselves fully in a narrow space.

To solve this both entrances shouldn't be directly opposite each other. This way, CTs would have to at least get out on the catwalk to have the advantage of spotting Ts before they can be seen themselves. This would be better, but probably not ideal still. The tunnel leading Ts to mid should probably be opened up vertically to give Ts a fair chance. Another thing worth thinking about would be to make the catwalk floor some sort of grate (which you can shoot through), so getting on the catwalk will get you a lot more exposed and vulnerable. There may be more changes needed to balance out mid, but it would definately be a step in the right direction

- B is hard to take for Ts. If they take the shortest route they have two entry points, but both are facing the same small window where CTs can defend from (and one entry point is a narrow duct).

To balance things out a bit, these entry points shouldn't be right next to each other. The CT window should either be removed, moved or made a lot larger, so CTs can't cover the tunnel when only exposing their heads.

- There's a pretty long sightline (the long red line on the overview) from one of the windows (blue) at the lower side of the overview. If CTs rush through B they can easily shoot Ts who are trying to get into A in the back.

I guess that's it in a nutshell

It's great that the layout offers both close/mid-range and mid/long-range. I like the height variations in the map, some of them are rather big, giving an advantage to one team, but nothing that can't be fixed in my opinion!

Overall, I like the layout. Testing was fun!

And I'm looking forward to what you're gonna do with the Black Mesa theme

Hey Sathor, we could make an exception for tomorrow evening if you're still up for it.

We set up a playtest at 00:00 am CEST tonight ourselves, but would gladly accept the offer, if the time remains at 9 pm. That way, we would have two playtests which are far enough apart in time. I will post a link to the necessary files in a few hours.

You can download the map here:

Includes the BSP (radar map included in BSP) and a NAV file (which is pretty useless).

Hey, I would like a playtest again on sunday tuesday if possible! Thanks

Since I got time tomorrow I would like to reserve a slot, and have a playtest again.

I prepared the map file for today:
