Quote from maxlevelboiThanks for the feedback and your time : -)! I will get on that playtest session ; ) Will fix the repetitive nature of my level as soon as possible : -)!
Thanks man I will fix em : -) Great to have pictures I appreciate it!
I would look at the agency article on here too. Talks about keeping props unique to areas.
I think the detailing looks pretty good now overall but you should focus more on one style to make it feel more coherent.
looking better layout wise
let me know how substance designer is. Wanting it for custom textures more than anything
had a run about (just initial thoughts):
- reduce the amount of props massively. you have way too many things going on that don't add to the map. Cars going through walls(?), random pallet trucks/doors etc spammed every where. Texture set should be more refined too. I think this map is using a little of everything just now. 
too much prop repetition and too many different texture sets used. Interesting combo..
- I don't think you need the squeeky onto B. The other one seems pretty redundant too.
- Bombsites are on the small side.
- seems like a lot of unnecessary areas.
Mapcore playtest would help a lot imo.
have you thought a mapcore playtest? Good way to get a rush of feedback
the detailing looks super busy...in your last post the first/second compared to third screenshot- it doesn't look like the same area/theme? Modern bins mixed with dust2 textures and signage?
I don't think there's much in the way of articles. I've learnt a lot on here reading through old threads for big maps (de_ali is a good example) though so you might want to try that. There's no hard rules when it comes to detailing though- it's art and subjective.
if you are aiming for an operation map I would be looking at the base maps and community maps that have gotten in the game - decompile them and think about how they are built up.
The biggest mistake I see in playtests is overusing props and textures from the default library and trying to make them fit in- rather than using the stuff that fits the scene already. Less is more.
I have the same one with no window. I don't want to see all the dust 
Been playing about on the steamlink my parents got me for christmas- recommended so far- it's fast and really intuitive. Not tried 2 players at once yet tho which is the reason I wanted it..

First sighting of a pro in game (yes that actually is chrisJ and not some random 14 year old :P)
Sadly the pug didn't start due to lack of players.. 
I would rebuild B more. The actual site itself is so small...The two doorways right beside it led to really weird mini-flanks too.
no its the rest of the world that's on the wrong side
The fact that most op maps come from projects posted here would probably open him/valve up for bias allegations.
Spoilers leaking on places like reddit. You might want to stay off them until you see it. :sad:
Looks mega yellowy green?
Todays work phrase of choice:
A lack of planning on your part doesn't constitute an emergency on mine.
'Hi We made 3 people redundant on friday and it turns out they did work, can you set up other people with the systems they had access to? This needs to be done now, for reasons'
I'm hoping this doesn't make reddit brigade harder on every minor issue as they think the hold 'sway' now.
There hasn't been a PC version yet
Quote from laminutederirehas there been any good skateboard games recently by the way?
That game played really well compared to Tony hawk's series!
I wouldn't say so. There have been a few arcade games like new versions of Tony hawks but nothing as physics-based.
Stoked: big air was a decent attempt at a snowboarding version of stoked that turned out pretty well- you can get it on PC. Jibbing ('grinding' to noobs) was a bit glitchy though.
If they make a next gen skate I'll buy a console for it 
I want to add skate 2's map to this.
