It seems a bit cluttered visually, especially on sites, and there are some OP site lines from CT spawn to each site. It looks absolutely stunning besides that. How did you get the shadows to look all green and nice looking? Great job

Looks awesome, great job

Beautiful map as always. I have not gone in game to play it(sadly it will be with bots) yet, but the first and only thing I could mention is that the map is one sided. What I mean in that is its a north vs south kind of push. Obviously that can be said the same for most maps, like Dust II but I just feel that this is a tad more stream lined. Clearly it could play totally different than what im envisioning via screen shots, so take this with a grain of salt. Overall very visually pleasing map CatFood, great job!

Ran a few minutes around on the release version. Imo you should allow players to suicide into the ocean. Atm i get a slight restricted feeling.

Also there is a prop not rendering:

Played de_shipped for a while today - I really enjoyed it! Layout is simple but with plenty of options to boost on containers etc. Really nice.

But some polishing still to do. I've put some things I found together http://imgur.com/a/UrMJZ

You are probably already aware of these things, but maybe it helps you.

I'd consider removing the clip brushes surrounding the map and making it possible for players to fall to their death (like vertigo and agency). They feel a bit limiting, especially since they're moved a lot "inwards" in places, like here:

Spot the ladder Without bots using it, I would probably never had noticed the ladder.

Very shiny door, doesn't fit with the rather gritty look of the map.

Weird shadows on this panel. Not sure what's causing it, but maybe "Ignore surface normals" could fix this, since these models are $nocull iirc. Just pointing it out, it's a very minor thing

Overlapping materials.

Same.

Intentional spot?

Last but not least, I think the readability was a bit poor in some areas. It really depends on the location a bit. For example, CTs are harder to spot in the covered (lowest level) parts of the map, while the Pirate models are sometimes hard to read in front of some of the upper deck areas (mainly containers and the like).

Improving readability on the map by changing lighting and textures is a lot of work, but maybe changing the player skins could go a long way. I think Phoenix and ST6 are the best alternatives for what you have now. Anyway, I'm not sure if that is just me, maybe other people have less trouble with it.

Overall, you really nailed the theme, the visuals are stunning and you got a solid map right there Good job!

I don't think that specific spot is intentional. He's not standing on the crates, he's on the railings which is very easy to jump on to from the nearest site

IMO it's okay to clip off the sides so that players can't jump over, but it has to be done more accurately. The location below is weirdly clipped in such a way that it looks like the player can jump onto the spools (for instance), but can't.

I think that it should be clipped somewhat like this:

Maybe you've already addressed this, but it sounded like you haven't yet, so here is my 2 cents

Damn lovely map

Some little issues: http://imgur.com/a/SdUsv

Also looks buggy when you die from falling into the ocean...

Please make a "parkour" version of the map wit no invisible barriers (for example - next to the helicopter)
