what resort?

Nice layout. Some of the wording is pretty clumsy imo...

I don't know if I'd mention my 'get by' job when I'm trying to sell myself either

Sounds like a cool idea, but we need the smokes to be transparent and flashes to not really flash, otherwise its going to be a clusterfuck of smokes and flashes every warmup. Also, no idea how to turn everyone invincible.

maybe just allow decoys then, they share the same physics with normal nades, yeah?

Something like this for warmup?

-Infinite nades

-Everyone is invincible

-Grenade trails

I would recommend a 'real world location' backdrop too, if just because you want to get in an operation.

Think about how valve has marketed each operation and parts of the game itself are built up- they play on the 'global' idea of global offensive quite a lot with tours of duty etc. I would say the majority of the maps featured so far have had a strong placement in a certain country or region.

I'm interested in the process after valve chooses the maps. Do they make you sign an NDA then ask you apply a number of changes to the map? or do they ask you to send an upto date bsp/vmf/radar etc for inspection and apply any 'required' changes themselves?

I know someone from here had valve apply a number of changes to a map's lighting before it got added it an operation.

It would be cool if you got invited to a playtest with CSGO's team and discussed the design with them but that's probably wishful thinking

Quote from FMPONE

One critique I have of this level is that it uses a tremendous amount of colors. I understand that they're all sort of underneath the same general "tone", but if you want to do that many colors I think they will still clash and conflict with one another. I'd really recommend restricting texture colors to 2-3 colors at most in any given area. I think this way you'll get a generally complimentary color scheme.

For instance, yellow sort of cautions trips, red bricks, and white snow. Etc. That's my big issue with this map running around it, you did a good job with the buildings and the geometry but the texturing is extremely noisy and there is no consistent theme to grab onto. If you can dramatically reduce the amount of noise on your textures and improve the lighting such that there is better readability, I think you'd get to a stronger visual.

Do you think the new DE_train suffers from the same issue? It has the same sort of 'patchwork warehouses' theme with lots of different colours used.

A lot of the textures used are almost pastels (with little noise or detailing) which I think helps it blend.

the map now consists of 15 subways.

I've only been able to find it on that bandcamp link. $1CAD which isn't much at all.

There was a couple complaints about optimisation for DE_resort during the playtest this week.

Not sure how quickly this could get resolved (bsp is like 100mb +)

I think there's a number of good contenders from here but it depends on valves theming and own intentions. They well be considering bringing back a couple successful past maps again .

That looks great! will download and try it

Amon Tobin is dope!

If anyone from here has any maps that are potentially operation-viable post them in this thread. More favourites and upvotes the better

just added you. I have a private profile due to 'LOL 1400 hours and only MG2' type asshats

The ranking on faceit seems to be used less for matching up though- faced a couple 'level 10' teams

I'm easy though. I like playing with nice people.

I like this idea a lot. Was fun playing with you before.

Faceit over MM is always a good shout as it takes rank out of the equation.

I have a teamspeak server we/whoever can use (10 slots so could be used for 5 vs 5 internal games)

I had to install cs:go on the work laptop to make a last minute change for the final after fnatic resigned.

Got gold though

I'll be watching it on my second screen at work. Really looking forward to this one (qualifiers were great!)
