[CS:GO] Crossfire Remake

Looks really awesome.

I just think the big yellow nuke prop (crane) on the 2nd and 3rd screenshot is out of place and taking in too much space, better get rid of it. I guess empty space can be a good thing and creates some more calmness, the scene there looks busy enough already. Not sure if the CS:GO competetive mode would really workout based on the overview, but it sure looks fun for the HL and DM mode!

Pimped it ?

The “rusty” wall textures in the last shot are too much, the room looks way off being a mix of clean and dirty textures. I imagine you want to go toward the abandoned site look, but I’d tone down those walls as they are really noisy and get in your face

For me it doesn’t work, there’s a stark contrast between a newly looking ceiling and the walls.

Sorry to nag, but there is still a crazy amount of noise in the room. Maybe refer to the original map to see how clean things were. Rn I feel there is a huge clashing of textures and colors and ages occuring. Also the original seemed to benefit from uniformity:[Blocked Image: https://files.gamebanana.com/img/ss/maps/58d4377184ef9.jpg]

Hm, I actually think that the strong side of this one is the colorfulness and "live" brought with the remake and I like quite a lot how it looks.

Does it really matter if its too noisy? Its not like anyone whos going to play it is going to be ultra-competitive, its half-life deathmatch for csgo, if he wants to like nice and worn down like Black Mesa, let him, too much uniformity is unnatural with concrete installations in the middle of a desert. The textures could be better sure, but this isnt a competitive map, its a fun side project and that means it doesnt have to have ultra-clean near white walls like every other "competetive" map that has come out in the past 3 years.

@fewseb I mean many maps from 3 years ago had this kinda heterogeneous grunge art style, apart from many half life maps. Also concrete doesn't rust from the corners and is rarely brown underneath so it looks off whatever the goal is. Lastly the light fixture and door are still perfectly new. Noisy isn't all about competitive gameplay, it can detract from gameplay experience by making everything seem claustrophobic, especially when it is uniformly noisy like this.

Doom doesn't overdo it too much, and compensates by room size (and its obv not a competitive game). Also note that doom didn't have good textures but had an atmosphere:

I mean Neptune definitely established an interesting vibe, and it is evidently working outside because it doesn't feel like a clusterfuck. It also makes sense for those areas to be more torn up due to weather damage if you want to get all technical.

The texture it self could definitely be better yeah, but let the man have his worn down facility in the middle of a desert, things arnt going to be squeaky clean there.

I like the changes! However, just a minor gripe, the tiles here still feel too shiny for me and somehow undo the immersion otherwise nicely established. Especially with a rough texture like that dust would gather in the cracks, considerably dampening down the shiny stone. Maybe you can just edit the vmf for reflectiveness and tune it down?
