As somebody else already said while playtesting it felt somewhat fighting along hallways. The high walls might be one reason for that. The routes are nearly parallel, but apart form Mid->A they are not connected with each other?
I particularly felt like that when walking the higher route to B.
What about adding a few windows there or even remove the wall (or make it smaller)
Hey i would like the 2nd alpha of my map de_catchment to be playtested.
Forgot to post a link 
ignoreI finally found motivation to start working on this again.
Made some changes to the layout, removed one and added another route..
Most changes i made were done for better balance and timing and I now like how the map plays - at least with bots.
Would like to get the map into a playtest though.

Uploading to workshop finally worked
Quote from MrSkellyBonesDid a little bit of work last night detailing outside of B. I have to fix the windows but I like the over all effect. The grass is casting a rather odd shadow on the displacement map there. I need to find a way to fix that.
Just disabling shadows will do the job
when there is no lightning set up the dynamic shadow casted by the sun will appear pitch-black
The playtest was the first time i played this map and i didnt read about the changes you did to the map either.
The closed gate was confusing to me: I followed the signs to B, ended up infront of a closed gate and my first thought was "WTF?".. Then i looked around for another way to get in and got killed. --> frustrating.
If you want to keep the gates you can try open them a little bit (like doors are on dust2).
Another thing i noticed is that Ts are still having a hard time on mid. Its is hard to defend when a few cts are pushing there.
Nevertheless it is an awesome map. I love the visuals, it never feels like it is made on a grid (nearly no 90° corners) and every route plus the map itself feels and looks very unique.
Wow awesome, love it
I changed the upper way to B because just fightig alog a narrow hallway was really boring. Added a big scaffolding and a connection between the upper and lower route.

Quote from SjonssonYou might wanna add the pictures!
Looks like my it posted 2 topics with the same name,dont know why. The other one actually has pictures 
.
I would appreciate it if an admin deleted this one
On the overviewscreen the hallway may look longer than it is. However was planning to shorten it a some units. Here is a pic when standing at the corner of the hallway (terrorist side).
this is my current project. It's a CS:GO map I blocked out.It I am still trying to get a nice timing for all routes and for 2 routes I am unsure if they are fun to play with a human enemy team. Basically it needs some testing.
Here is the layout and some wip pictures:

I will post better pictures when i am done with optimizing timing
