    At the end of the day, a map literally almost every last person on Earth has forgotten about and was never going to be worked on again, it was appreciated by someone, and it was given a new breath of life. Maybe the guy misstepped a little, but some of you are so dumb that you are virtually incapable of realizing that there is an overwhelming amount of love and goodness in the original post, y'all are transfixed on IP laws that you do not understand.

    This reminds me of the old days of Counter-Map, there was a moderator there named Tommy14, I despised this person. He used to ban and remove posts from anyone who uploaded a map in CS 1.6 that contained textures from Condition-Zero. Tommy14 was an incredible idiot who played a major role in the demise of Counter-Map. He had virtually no understanding of IP law, he acted with nothing more than virtue signalling like many of you here. Somehow in his mind, a person taking textures from one Valve project, putting it into another Valve project, and sharing it was a violation of intergalactic IP law.

    Now to this day, it is common practice to do this with all Valve titles. Valve does not give a shit if you take Portal 2 textures and add them to Day of Defeat Source. Valve does not give a shit if you reupload Dust2, add a hallway, and neglect to mention David J. This is why I feel so many people in this thread are stupid, you people are dumb. You people are killing artistic expression with your stupid fucking rabel. You do a total disservice to the world of map making in general when you make a pariah out of someone just starting off, you act like a cancer.

    This thread should not be locked, this is what actual real discussion looks like. There is no "topic" in conversations, topics naturally delineate as they become more interesting. Locking a thread runs as a direct contravention to the basic principles instilled by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms section 2, and well as the first amendment. If you can't handle freedom of speech, then leave Mapcore! This is a place for artists, not marxists looking to control the speech and expression of others.

    I really like how you skipped my argument.

    Also seek some help because with that attitude you will end up like this guy from DOI contest who had a breakdown because of deadline extension.

    Nobody who creates a map on Source has the right to declare NoDerivatives. You do not own the map, Valve does. You own the IP.

    That's why Valve bought mirage from bubkez right?

    Thanks for your hard work and time spent on making this video! Really appreciate it.

    Congrats on a well-deserved (close) second place. Abbey plays very smoothly, been enjoying it a lot so far. Find some minor feedback attached here, the main point being the narrow doorway from T spawn towards A. Additionally, I feel some skyboxes may be a bit too low. Otherwise really enjoying the games on it :-).

    Once I'm done with my thesis I will go back and fix some of the issues with the map. Glad you like it and thanks for your feedback!

IMO, B is a somewhat challenging site to break into, and A is a relatively easy site to break into. The contrast is fun, however I think it may mean that B takes becoming very rare overtime and statistically unbalanced. Overall, don't have too much to critique, this map definitely deserved to place so highly in the contest.

    Thanks for the feedback. The main goal was to create two bomb sites that will feel way different from each other so I think the goal was achieved :D

    Found some (very small) mostly cosmetic issues:

    Thank you so much for this. I will update the map with minor fixes soon.

Just for some background back when I was playing cs go a lot I was A+ on esea and lvl 8 on faceit so I like to think I at least know what I'm talking about a little. Hope you find the feedback useful!

    Just as a side note the second to last point I made in the video I'm unsure about whether it should really be changed as with a good flash or bait by another player jiggle peeking the lower angle, the peek from the wall should work as intended without being too overpowered.

    IMO the fountain doesnt really fit into the scene here. looks a bit too fancyful in a backyard scenery like this. maybe go with a classic well?

    Thanks! Right now we need to use this prop. We will replace few things after deadline.

    Those roofs definately need some displacement love. Focus on the top (ridge/crest) and side (white) lines especially. Bottom is usually most difficult to match and has least impact imo. Maybe you can also experiment with some different colored roof materials (current -> brownish -> orang/beigish).

    I left this for now because I tried the method valve used on inferno to avoid lightbleeds there but it seems like the issues is still there
