[WIP] de_coast

Played 2 games on the map. I think you should delay ct for a bit in mid somehow. Cause Ct's get the 2 connectors to bombsites for free. Right now it's really hard to go from mid to anywhere because it's so easy for CTs to hold.

Any possibility we will see the night version in time for the deadline?

I think the night theme is important. I'm going to write more very very soon, but I don't think you want to skip that step.

Am I giving you enough of a *wink* *wink*

Do I need to be more obvious? Get that night theme in there.

Hey, I checked out the map today. It looks fantastic, and I couldn't honestly find much to crit, but here they are anyways: http://imgur.com/a/fvAzp

I also saw the water in the 3d sky break a few times, but I think it's a source problem.

If I peek one of the angles I am exposed to the other one, I suggest that you remove the boxes to the left of the opening, or fill the whole area with boxes and remove the ability to stay behind them, making it look like a curved wall. And fix the playerclip by the railings in B, super annoying! Other than that I feel the layout is pretty amazing. B reminds me alot of mill, and it is nice to see a map where middle is super important for CT's, that little sewer passage is gold and control of middle for CT's gives T's two less paths to go.

This room seems useless, and it is easy to be fooled by the minimap, the first time i ran around the map I thought it lead to the long pathway above it in the minimap. Regarding areas to save weapons, there are several spots in the map already, no need for that room.

The T's have to check Pit and the corner where I am, again T's have to gamble and go into a 50/50 chance of choosing the right place I am camping.

i suggest you move the crate to the right, all the way to the corner (of the house, not all the way to the right, don't wanna block off vision down ramp at the right, that way T's can clear that corner first and then clear pit. I really like pit and think it should stay, just like on inferno, it works for both teams, it is good for CT's, and also good for T's post plant. Your pit doesn't seem as broken as inferno's pit tho (Valve still haven't fixed the blue texture in pit, it's been three years you lazy.)

Awesome map, my favorite of the finalists. Well done!

I agree with the feedback from FMPONE and others regarding the dead zones on the map, all except for the pit at B; it may not be necessary, but I like it.

Image: Overlapping brushes at CT > B. The foliage on the left fades a little too soon in this connector as well.

Looking forward to seeing the final version of de_coast!

2 or 3 are both good

3rd is the best in my opinion. Curious how 2nd one would look with changed light_environment values.

2nd offers much needed colour variation.

2nd has loads more colour. Like it a lot more personally.

Personally, i think the 3rd one looks the best.

I think the 3rd looks best mostly because the lighting matches it, but the 2nd one can work well if the lighting is tweaked, which may prove tricky.

2 and 3 are both nice, although I prefer 3. I'd go with that one

Where do you find skyboxes like that? THe game has like 10 skyboxes total ): The 2nd one and third one looks badass.

Third one for sure. If your level lacks color add some with sprites and lights.

Otherwise we should see the second one with a proper light_env! The lighting doesn't match the skybox so it's hard to juge.
