de_office [WIP]

    Hello hello,

    I am one of the few people who like cs_office. What I don't like about that map that it is a hostage scenario and not a bomb defuse map. Also I wanted to create my very first map for CS:GO (apart from de_shortnuke which I don't see as first map), from the beginning with layout, textures and detailling. We'll see how I can achieve this

    So for this map my idea is that I wanted to have an easy layout without much cluttering and without unused areas. I want to have "tactical space" where the Ts are able to build up their game, medium fast rotations to see nice holds and retakes and some really nice aim areas. Combined that with the flair and basic structure of cs_office would be a nice map - I think.

    Update December, 26th 2015: I heavily updated the map. There is still much to do but the main layout is ready. Check out the workshop :)

    I hope you enjoy it and have some feedback for me

    Thanks for reading and regards,
    Llama

    Will you be reusing textures and assets from office?

    Yes. I will, because this map is within the same "story" and an enhancement for it.

    I like the office setting, but as you said hostage maps aren't much fun to play, so making a defuse version is a good idea. Can you mark spawns and bomb sites on top-down overview image? It's a bit confusing for someone who's looking at it for the first time.

    Updated the Original Post. But: I like hostage scenarios but unfortunatelly they are never played in Comp :/

    The only real BIG problem with the map (and it's not entirely your fault) is that grenade throws from a distance won't really be achievable. It's not going to make or break the map, but you might want to keep that into consideration.

    Oh yes. This was one issue I had. This is why I made several connectors to achieve some smoke throws (Tatical Space to Middle or something like that).

    Hello hello,

    I just want to give an update for this map project. I've rejected everything I've done so far because I made too much mistakes in my first try and I'm not able to fix them. Therefore I reworked the map entirely and I also gave it a new layout.

    Well, the next step is to derterminate if the layout is playable. I hope there will be some folks who will do that. I entered the Playtest for Mapcore.

    So, well. Just for the record. I remade this map 3 or 4 times at least because I still learn how to use the hammer editor. So I recently uploaded a huge update for this map with an improved layout, the beginning of some detailing and well ... I just want you to know that I still work on this project and I want to finish this map in this year. Or maybe to the next operation. I dunno.

    Soooo, if you have some time. In the workshop is the map.

    I'd like to see an updated overview if you made some changes to the layout.

    If you are confident the changes you implemented are beneficial ones, another playtest would be the next logical step to give you a huge amount of feedback and input on the direction your map is going right now.

    Ya, well. I thought about this. But the main theme is still cs_office and I decided to use the props of cs_office. I thought of a crossover between cs_agency and de_nuke but I think this map deserves the interior of cs_office :)

    Yes. The overview is on my list. But first I wanted to playtest the new connector between paper and the b route. I wanted to have a playtest for this map but I didn't hear anything from mapcore :(
