    Thanks for the feedback!

    What changes would you suggest for Mid?


    I think that mid should end in a T-junction (or similar) on both sides. Or a 90 degree turn anyway (this is sort of the case on the CT end I guess). The corners where you peak from should be 100% solid, sharp walls or otherwise very defined cover. The overall length should be reduced somewhat. Sometimes the engagement distances were so long that I had a hard time fine-tuning my AWP aim (my mouse sens didn't allow for so small adjustments ).


    Current mid (left). Suggested mid (right).

    Yeah, I'd sleep with a machete in my hand and have the cell doors firmly locked lol.

    I want to make a zombie game.


    As do I, and so does everyone these days it seems. Feels like I see a new zombie game every day on Steam. I have yet to play one though that really captures what I'd like to see in a zombie game.

    Hell yeah I'm watching. It may not be Breaking Bad but come on... zombies.

    Yeah that roof would've totally collapsed under the weight of a crashing heli... I don't know what's happening with that kid, but it could be a case of some sort of contanimation in their water/food. That's why I think they put so much emphasize on that dying pig.

    Hey all, I'm gonna aim for a playtesting version of my map on Thursday! So be ready on Thursday at 21.00 GMT+1!

    Any thoughts on the Overgrown playtest?

    I've already added another route into B for the Ts and fixed some of the miscellaneous problems.


    The general layout is good and it looks nice but there are a lot of minor issues that are a bit problematic.


    - I feel like there are a bunch of weird sightlines on the map. Like you can see through the shelves of some prop. Or you can jump on a railing and see way further than intended. Or you can stand at a very specific angle on the crates on the boat and get a drop on T's coming from their spawn. Lots of stuff like that. I'd look at maps like Inferno, Dust2 and Mirage. They all have very clean, readable sightlines. CS, to me, is all about "all or nothing"-sightlines and not like BF, other shooters or milsims that have very nuanced environments with lots of partial sightlines.

    - Readability is a slight problem. Both in terms of textures/lighting/props but also in terms of the fog, which can be crippling at times. Enemies blend in with environment from time to time.

    - Mid is brutal. T can get some very good sightlines and can peak supergood from behind a truck. I don't feel like you can push mid too well as either team. A bit of a death trap.

    - Performance. Needs to be improved. Even though it ran fine for me, you got to give some love for the low spec peoples!


    Quote from Squad

    A bit late with this reply, but here's my feedback on de_cliffs. I really enjoyed the layout, first of all, it was a lot of fun.


    Here are some suggestions (mostly from T's POV). Bombsite A seems really good so far. As suggested before, mid could benefit from some improvements regarding the cars. It'd be easier if there was a ramp or some stairs to get up to the CT level. I wasn't inclinded to take the route to bombspot B a lot, since it was usually pretty difficult. It might be because of the T-junction (CT's guarding the spot from both sides of the junction, making it pretty hard to push on through that spot). It might make things more fair if you adjusted that junction a little bit (see picture below). It's just a general idea off course, making it harder for CT's to guard the path from 2 sides.


    Thanks for the feedback! The next version of the map will be pretty drastically changed, heh. We'll see if it's for the better or worse.


    Quote from LexxoR

    Any opinion about my map?..


    This feedback may seem a bit crude but the map mostly felt like a web of boxes. I didn't see any interesting chokes and the architecture felt... basic. I'd look at defining a couple of routes and making the timings interesting.

  • PAYDAY 2

    A lot of weapon/AI/economy changes, a new level, some new masks and some changes to existing levels (Nightclub in particular is heavily modified).


    Not much new content just yet.

    There are two channels that I've set up for playtesting:

    Team 1 (T Team in First Half)

    Team 2 (CT Team in First Half)


    Should be pretty self-explanatory right? You basically join the channel depending on which team you start the playtesting match as.

    Just donated $50 to the 'core Server. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside to see how this whole venture has turned into such a success.
