  • Killing Floor 2

    Quote from Buddy

    But Killing Floor really took brazillion years to make. It was a mod for several years before it became what it is. It wasnt matter of time, it was just that the team had little idea what they were doing at the time XD


    The games history aside, it was made quickly, 3 months with 10 people to be exact. IMO they literally just remade their mod so they could release it properly. I'm sure at the time they could have improved upon it, but I imagine there was an overriding need to just get it out.

  • Killing Floor 2


    exactly my problem, although even i found l4d1/2 a little dull fairly quickly, but then i didnt have anyone to play with which may have impacted that. they seem to be really aware of the problems with KF1 and it was made very quickly. This time round they've even gone into detail to get firearms professionals to mocap the weapon handling.

  • Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

    Unfortunately COD isn't really for gamers now. Just how many joke that TF2 was a hat simulator, CoD has become a weapon simulator for people to be wowed, not by gameplay but by almost everything else. When the setting gets stale, refresh it, when the same weapons and the billion unrealistic attachments get stale, refresh them.


    It's a cash cow for actiblizzard, which appear to be more interested in milking adolescent boys for their money than fostering a real game with purpose. I feel EA are now going down this path with the battlefield titles they are churning out as their "CoD killer"


    IMO they should have looked at promod, and made changes based on that to create that competitive scene that is trapped in MW1.


    As an original CoD fan, "i r sad"

  • CS:GO Stickers

    Quote from The Honey Badger

    Thanks; unfortunately (and surprisingly) the Renegabes stickers are the least rated items in my workshop. I would presume this is because they draw on retro pop culture that is outside of the scope of the core audiences' recollection, and so only a small number of users can relate to it. When putting them together I was constantly smiling - but they've become a joke no one else really gets! My initial plan was to make an entire collection of them -- but based on the lukewarm reaction I can't really warrant putting the time in, unless just to amuse myself!


    AH! That's a shame, I would totally rock a load of renegabes across my loadout

  • cs_seed WIP

    Biohazard makes me think of the alternative name to the resident evil series! Personally, I think seed was a better working title, or even just "seedbank" would suffice. Makes it more recognisable.


    I think the playtest went well tonight! Could do with a couple more hallway/rooms with a couple of other positions for the hostages, but I thought it was good, fast paced fun. It is very flat though, maybe open up one room into a more warehousey area so there is a bit of "verticality" perhaps?

    Quote from Konqi

    Ok, thanks. My map is playable. I just haven't that many optical details yet, but I wanted to concentrate on general things like gameplay and balancs first.


    Not sure what you're thanking me for, lol, and you didn't actually answer my question

    Do you have:

    • a radar - so we know where we are going
    • 10 T spawns - so everyone can join
    • 10 CT spawns - so the rest of everyone can join
    • BUYZONES! thanks nexodus
    • 2 bombsites or hostages - so we have something to do

    You will need all of these for a successful map test. I'm guessing English isn't your first language so I apologise for any confusion.

    Quote from Konqi

    Hi, I would like my map de_innenhof to be playtestet. It's my first map and I am new here. Maybe someone should have a look on it first, to check, if it fits the requirements yet.(I'm not talking about spawns and bombspots, more the general state of development) I have no time preferences, so you can put the playtest where it fits. Thanks!

    Is it a playable map? My understanding is that the playtests are more for checking balance and feasibility. It needs to be a functional map to test otherwise we're just running around a gallery, unless I've missed the point?

  • [CS:GO WIP] Port

    You can show us a good overview if you turn sv_cheats 1, go into noclip, fly upwards out of your map's boundary (so the skybox disappears) and use cl_leveloverview 4 and take a screenshot. Depending on your scale the 4 might need to be made smaller if the map is smaller, and larger if larger... make the value 0 if you want to return to first person mode.


    3kliksphilip has a good radar tutorial which you might want to use before playtesting!


    The water to skybox transition would look a lot better if you added a grey(tinted blue?) fog to try and mask that harsh line.


    Also, part of the problem with the old port map was that it was possibly the largest entity known to man (second only to the universe), with great big sight lines. Maybe if you could focus a smaller area of the port, in a more built up area it could work a lot better.


    Keep it up

  • de_havana

    Will there maybe potentially be a name clash with the old cs_havana? I know it wasn't exactly the most popular map, but could people be "tricked" into thinking this is a defuse version of an old map or even put off entirely because of the link?


    Don't get me wrong, I think the map looks fantastic, but I honestly thought you were reviving the old map defuse style when I first saw the name!
