Done guys. I've re-aligned it to the left - too hell with the aesthetics .

Back to the actual map, I've began to rework alot of the right side, so any advice that is aimed at the left side of the map would be helpful

Yeah it is very Crysis like. And I will also make it a text layout.

The areas you have stated are actually important. The two large shapes behind the T-spawn are docks, which aren't actually playable, they are clipped off.

Secondly the right most areas. Is something I want long to be like. Awping will be overpowered on this map and with play testing one awper can sit in the middle part and just hold it.

The right bit allows players to push A without needing to be awped and makes the CT's need to hold sit more securely as one needs to watch mid and one needs to watch long.

The split also allows players to push away from the line of sight directly from the doors at the top of the right lane. This is similar to Marquise when players push through the train area.

I will reformat the layout and add more photos

Current Version - Initial Design

Karinis is a defusal map based in and around a military base located throughout a mountainous / coastal setting. The map focuses heavily on the elevation between the T spawn and the CT spawn and mimics the majority of a three lane map, however offering a fourth small lane for long timing but quick distance pushes.

As stated by an observant person, this map looks similar to Crysis 1. The modernistic approach to a military base takes heavy influence from these images.

I took heavy influence from this image, mainly around the CT spawn. This setting separates the ocean from the mountainous landscape which is something I wanted my map to achieve.

This second image shows the back side of the ocean side. The docks and the elevated system is something i'd like to achieve with my map.

This initial design had many focus points. one was the speedway long route to a (towards the right of the map) which also contain a safer more hidden route halfway up to cover the terrorists advancing as terrorists would often find themselves attacked from rotating cts at b who would rush to the bottom of long and trap the terrorists in both sides. Another major point was mid. which terrorists would need to cross through the to get to long. when crossing a ct awper could pick them off and cause alot of damage as the distance was around 5 seconds to cross giving the awper multiple shots.

I decided to tweak a few things before posting. I threw a few twists and turns into long to remove the vision and the timing needed to push into long from b. I cleaned the t to b path by removing a small building and adding a large ramp. I also cleaned and expanded the bombsite b by adding an upstairs part which enables the either side to hold the side easier.

Hello. I've been using Source SDK for a few years now and am beginning on a new map which I will release later next month. However before I do so, I was wondering to where I could (if possible) download external assets (props/textures)? I see alot of maps with custom props, and, lacking the skills to create high detailed props myself, I have resorted to needing free/paid props from the internet. However... I can not for the life of my find anything which contains large amounts - I have found single downloads to crates, doors etc, but never any large collections etc. I was wondering where I could get a large collection of Source SDK models/props and/or where to buy them from. Thanks.
