    You're not wrong : ) Its not intentional but even though it was ages ago since I've played on tides I still remember the first time I played it and that I thought that bombsite looked interesting. The issue with it was, if I remember correct, that it had no cover, you always had to plant out in the open. And you also couldnt plant in the tunnel : )

  • [CS:GO]de_nerone

    Ah I see, Im gonna have to think about what to do with B.

    The plant below B is intented, its a feature :)

    The A radar was a bug, the bomb trigger brush was in the right place and there was nothing at the alley close to CT spawn where the A letter were on the minimap. I deleted the brush and made a new one and it now works..

    I'm gonna shorten the head peak fighting place and A long overall, they are way too long. Interesting idea with the door, I havent thought about that.

    Mid is definitly too tight for 10v10 but I want to test it in a more match like scenario before I change that. I dont think it will be as chaotic in 5v5. And my gut feeling tells me this mid can be interesting even though its not the standard kind of mid. They cant smoke it off forever and you can counter smoke if you want. I might be wrong but im gonna go with this mid, atleast for now :)

    Yeah I think I'm gonna remove a couple of the deep doorways, they dont really fill a purpose.

    Thanks for the feedback! its very helpful

    I agree that A long that is too long and the whole B area is too big. Im leaning on that beeing the problem more then the overall size of the map cause its not really that big, timings are on par with d2 and playable area is only slightly larger than d2.

    Im thinking of maybe removing the big rock and half the yard, the idea of it was to break up the path and make it harder for ct to hold with an awp, that they had to take more then one angle into consideration but it doesnt seem to work as planned.

    The compile time is pretty fast I think, it takes about 1,5 hours to full compile. Its vvis and lighting of props that seems to take the longest for me but yes I still need to optimze it : )

    And its good that it seems to work well visually : )

    Hi, here is my entry. Nerone is a defuse map set in an Italian mountain village. A crime family wants revenge after one of their bosses was ratted out of his hiding place in the village. It's a standard 3 lane map where owning mid gives the option of A and B splits. Both bombsites have lots of intresting strategic options avaliable both for the attackers and defenders. I've designed both main attack paths so that there are choke areas instead of choke points to make the gameplay more fluid and the T's more comfortable attacking.

    Size has been an issue before but its now only slightly bigger then dust2 and has similar rotation times so that should be fine.

    I don't think it's the number of lanes, it's how much they weave as well as the distribution. You also don't highlight all the possible routes as you've missed the CT route to the bottom of the map through some sort of apartments, and a route from A site to meet CTs on mid again. I'm pretty sure there are more as well, so can't try and oversimplify your map to us. Additionally, we are the people who play it and if we find problem in it, other people will to.

    Yes there is one more ct route to B and one route that connects mid to A on the ct side but the point was that from a T perspective there is 3 places to fight A, B and mid and yes there are issues I need to fix. I think the playtesting has been invaluable, lots of good things I'm going to change have been suggested. These are all routes/connectors:

    Quote from jackophant

    That bridge position for CTs is way too strong, you just have to sit back and pick Ts off through a tight chokepoint.

    Underground mid is ridiculous, as well there being a "head peak" on the box which allows CTs to dig in very easily. The corridor is too narrow for Ts extra entrance to really make a difference as one smoke blocks both off anyway.

    B is just... Huge. It's like awp_india. It has the same problem as main route to A, a tight chokepoint that leads into an open area where CTs can sit far back and pick Ts off. tbh, therein lies the biggest problem that both main routes to each bombsite play exactly the same, you should try more variety.

    Please someone correct me I'm wrong, but I don't remember the bomb ever being planted either.

    I agree, the idea wasnt that the bridge should be the main place for ct's to defend that bombsite, but in current condition its just too good.

    Mid is narrow, Im going to make it bigger, but its a single smoke for T's too so you can close the path you dont want to go and focus on the other one

    I'm going to change the entrance to B so that T's feel safer and can check one area at a time and also remove CT cover

    It was, when fnuggi played T it was planted lots of times. Whatever team he was on won 19 rounds out of 20, he was wrecking everyone : )

  • [CS:GO]de_nerone

    Hey! The thing is, it is a 3 lane map, with one connector and a possibility for T's to open up 1 additional path to each bombsite. So even though it feels very complex it isn't really that complex.

    [Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/BP33Fwp.jpg]


    What I think isn't working and making it look more complex than it is:

    The path to A beeing to ct sided making them able to wreck the T's and quickly flank mid

    The second path to b beeing too long, too many turns and not it is obvious where it will lead.

    I need to guide the player better.


    I also plan to simplify alot of things all around the map : )

    pretty epic in size ^^. Or it at least it seems that way. Would you mind putting on your map where the CT's and T's start?

    Added which spawn is which to the layout

    Quote from TheGuma

    Yeah, I agree about the size.

    Also, you should playtest and work on the layout before you do the details and theme. I see you already started off with the theme before even posting here, so you're just making things harder for yourself.

    In general I agree but with this one I wanted to test if I could make one area pretty enough first before doing the layout. Its been my weak spot in the past and its kinda important

    Is it up on the workshop? I'd like to run around it in game.

    No but you can download it from here if you want: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4x2X2qRu3EoUmU2U3l3TjZoVkU

  • [CS:GO] de_acceleration

    Some feedback from the playtest yesterday: I really like the main paths to a and b from both a ct and t perspective, there's plenty of interesting ways to fight and take cover. I think there needs to be a way to get to the A plant site from the upper part of the bombsite without having to either jump over the railing or running out of the bombsite and back. Something like a staircase. I also think it would be great if there was a way to quickly get on the B plant site without having to jump over the railing, like an opening in the railing. Jumping and shooting isn't very fun in cs go It would be great if there was a way to plant on B and be safe from the tunnel entries

    What maps do you guys want to see in the next operation?

    Looks like FMPone isn't pushing season (it's not on workshop yet) but Brute is trying to get tuscan upto par ASAP:


    I would like to see de_island, I think it is the most interesting map from a gameplay perspective

  • [CSS] de_monte

    hi, im releasing a map ive been working on for a while named de_monte.

    the map is set in an almost completely abandoned mountain village

    story:

    A mining company linked with the mafia believes the area under the village to be a big mining prospect. But a few of the locals refuse to sell there land.

    The company decides to hire terrorists to try to scare the last remaing villagers off by blowing up one of the village's two statues.

    The police gets a tip of the attempt and arrives at the same time...

    my main focus has been on the maps gameplay and balance
